    as if Democrats you vote for haven’t sat at a table with Putin before

    Such as? Apart from, you know, people who were president and were doing it because presidents generally meet other world leaders?

      she’s a presidential candidate. i don’t think there is a meaningful difference in stature, but there is in substance: she never exchanged a word with him or shook his hand, unlike the fascists and fascist-enablers you’re defending.

        Wow. She somehow got herself a seat at Putin’s table, then she sat down quietly, politely ate her sandwich, then got up and left without ever saying a word or interacting with the people at the table?

        How unlucky she must have felt to find herself such an awkward situation. Egg on her face and all that.

            I see. So Putin sat down at her table, uninvited, didn’t introduce himself, she didn’t comment on it, then he, Michael Flynn, and all the others finished their sandwiches and left Jill Stein in peace to eat her lunch alone.

            I can see how that absolves her. But man, what a shitty thing to happen to someone when they just want to enjoy their soup and crackers in peace. With this one little social faux pas, Putin made millions of people across the country believe she was his stooge.

            When she becomes president, what do you think she is going to do to retaliate against Putin for fucking her image so bad?
