    Twisted mediocre bitch achieved everything she set out to do in 2016.
    She must be very smug and proud of herself.

              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.

              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.
