“Jill Stein is a useful idiot for Russia. After parroting Kremlin talking points and being propped up by bad actors in 2016 she’s at it again,” DNC spokesman Matt Corridoni said in a statement to The Bulwark. “Jill Stein won’t become president, but her spoiler candidacy—that both the GOP and Putin have previously shown interest in—can help decide who wins. A vote for Stein is a vote for Trump.”
That’s Index’s “gotcha” every time someone brings up the dinner photo. He posts these every time as if it’s not normal for world leaders to meet… and Stein is not a world leader.
It’s not normal to shake hands and laugh with dictators. Would you personally act so friendly with putin, bil salman, or netanyahu? The average person would probably slap them in the face.
Clearly you don’t have a clue how international politics work. It’s not unusual for world leaders to meet, even when some are dictators. Part of preventing war between hostile countries is diplomacy. I am not a world leader, so no, I would not be meeting with any of those individuals and neither should Stein. Do you seriously think it would be at all beneficial for world leaders to be assaulting each other?
“international politics” is not shaking hands, hugging, and laughing with dictators. What were jill stein doing at the table with putin? discussing diplomacy? They were enjoying their champagne and talking about how they are going to be richer while peasants like you do all the work for them.
World leaders throughout history do that with dictators. Your solution would be to start wars over public insults? Dictators aren’t going to take public insults lightly, particularly those with nuclear capability.
World leaders throughout history are dictators or act like one
If so then wouldn’t Green Party leaders be included?
Parties who don’t serve elites interests don’t make it in the mass media news
