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.
No, her pro-Russian stances make her a Russian Asset. The diner's and such are just where she bends the knee.
You can be anti war and anti American hegemony without being pro Russian.
But Stein is explicitly pro-Russia. She has repeated Russian talking points about Ukraine, and only seems to want to handicap Kamala Harris, knowing damn well that she's aiding Trump.
"So, what we said about Putin was that his invasion of Ukraine is criminal. It's a criminal and murderous war," Stein said in response.
Explicitly not pro-Russian
Except the context of that statement paints a vastly different picture.
She was extremely hesitant to label Putin a War Criminal, and had to be walked into the statement.
Also, Jill Stein knows who butters her bread.
"So, what we said about Putin was that his invasion of Ukraine is criminal. It's a criminal and murderous war,"
Again Stein isn't Pro-Russia here.
Had to be fucking walked into the statement.
