      Because literal nation state level negotiations are the same as socializing at a fundraiser/awards ceremony for Russian propaganda.

        The point is that literally sitting near someone is not evidence of anything.

        Stein comes out better in this comparison because we can be certain Biden and Putin would have been able to hear each other speak.

          You’ve got it completely wrong.

          Biden and Putin were in an adversarial setting. They were not there as friends.

          Stein, on the other hand, was there as friends of RT, the Russian state propaganda system, and was considered such a good friend of the propaganda machine that they sat her with Putin.

          You see how that’s worse, right?

            Oh, she obviously a useful idiot who has no concept of political optics.

            That doesn’t make her a Russian asset.

              No, her pro-Russian stances make her a Russian Asset. The diner’s and such are just where she bends the knee.

                  But Stein is explicitly pro-Russia. She has repeated Russian talking points about Ukraine, and only seems to want to handicap Kamala Harris, knowing damn well that she’s aiding Trump.

                    “So, what we said about Putin was that his invasion of Ukraine is criminal. It’s a criminal and murderous war,” Stein said in response.

                    Explicitly not pro-Russian

      Presidents meet with people because it’s their job. Shills meet with people to make deals.

        Did Stein meet with Putin for more than 10s? Sitting 10 feet away doesn’t count.

          Were you there? Can you provide the official results from your stopwatch? And for the record- most dinners last more than 10 seconds.

            Is this the only evidence that Stein is a Russian asset? Even the Qanon guys have stronger conspiracy theories than this.

                A politician goes to public events and places and has some personal investments in index trackers?

                Conspiracy theorists love inventing evidence.

                  You didn’t even read the article I posted. Come back after you do.

                  Apologists love defending shills.

                    Why don’t you go and read about the Vanguard 500 Index Fund Admiral Shares VFIAX.

                    Then go and check where your 401k is invested and see how comfortable you feel calling other people hypocrites.
