      Jill Stein with Putin and Flynn

        Context note: that picture was taken at an RT (Russian state-backed propaganda outlet) dinner in a room full of powerful Russian oligarchs. Gorbachev was there but at a different table, and yet Jill Stein was one of the guests of honor at Putin’s table. Also worth keeping in mind that this dinner took place in 2015–more than a year after Putin had first invaded Ukraine and annexed Crimea.

        Nobody bashes Hillary for being a photo where she shook Putin’s hand. Jill was simply at a table where Putin dropped in, said some stuff in Russian, and then left. She didn’t even speak to him.

          Hillary Clinton was the US Secretary of State.

          Jill Stain was a guest of honor at a RT state propaganda banquet.

          That shit ain’t the same, amigo. You need to try harder. You need to shill smarter.

              Yeah, I’m sure she just picked up one of these at the front desk and then proceeded to casually sit down at a random table that just happened to be where Putin and Peskov were sitting.

              Let me say this as nicely as possible, you’re just not sharp enough to play these kinds of games yet.
              Workshop some better material and then come back and try it again, ok?

                impuning my intelligence and being condescending doesn’t change whether I’m right.

          Was Jill Stein ever the Secretary of State? Shaking hands with people like Putin was part of her job.

            if jill stein had been elected, she, too, would have been expected to shake putin’s hand. which is something she didn’t do at that dinner.

          You conveniently ignore all the other Russian oligarchs at the table.

            That should be immediately disqualifying to every leftist. If you’d be upset with her palling around with Musk and other CEOs, then you should be upset with her hanging out with even worse capitalists.

          *Per MSNBC wasn’t context for you? You basically believe a bullshit narrative, because nobody wants to support your piece of shit neoliberal candidates that are waging genocide and ethnic cleansing but sure VBNMW.
