Jill Stein is right here:
this is propaganda
Why is she sitting so far away?
You... Don't seriously think the distance at a table makes a difference, do you? She was at an RT conference dinner. Russian state media owned. in russia. At the DIRECT invitation of Putin.
This stupid deflection crap is so tired. I don't know why I even engage with these stupid Matryoshka bots anymore.
she was not directly invited by putin
Haha. You're real naive if you think anyone at that table wasn't personally vetted and given the invite OK by Putin and his team.
Why is Joseph McCarthy commenting on a progressive com?
Did she promise unconditional loyalty to Russia like Harris and Trump did for Israel? Jill Stein sounds a lot less compromised than the other options.
look at the sidebar and see who the sole mod of this community is
I'm fully aware
Questioned their BlueAnon McCarthyism
Although the reactionary comments are misleading, please be aware that this is a liberal instance. The goal is to allow good faith discussion so we can educate and learn from each other. We do not want this community to become an ideological echo chamber. Ultimately, the event (from ten years ago) being discussed in the comments has diminished relevance to the politics of today. But it is a good starting point for a discussion about media literacy, opportunism and tailism; so I think it is valuable. Thanks for your attention to this matter.
