Why not neither?

Why not, indeed.

According to Jill she was there to...

deliver the—one of the main messages of my campaign, which is that war has failed in the Middle East and that we need a peace offensive consisting of a weapons embargo and a freeze on the funding, the bank accounts of those countries that are sponsoring terrorism. At the time, Russia had just begun to bomb Syria. And my message was that Russia was following in the disastrous footsteps of U.S. foreign policy in the Middle East.

So ironically she was actually there talking about a very similar subject in a way to this exact post, war in the middle east. Good to see she hasn't changed her policy, I guess.

Can I get a dinner with Putin where I tell him he shouldn't do bad things in the Middle East? Because as far as world leaders are concerned, Jill Stein is only slightly more important than you or me, unless Putin has a much more specific reason.

I bet if you were the Green Party's (or even the Libertarian's) nominee for the 2016 presidential race you could, in 2015, yes.

Probably not now but things have changed a little since then if you haven't noticed lol.

Dude, that statement above is brazenly self-serving. She wasn't there to do anything about the Middle East. You only get dinner invites with Putin if he expects to get something from you. Doubly so when Michael Flynn is sitting right next to him.

And? World leaders meeting with each other is not the problem. Jill Stein is not a world leader. She's barely anybody on the world stage.

Is this the best you got?

[–] ArcaneSlime@lemmy.dbzer0.com -2 points 2 months ago (1 children)

She was a presidential candidate, at least. You can deny that she's effective in any way and I will too but acting like she works at a Wendy's in Des Moines and is meeting him is disingenuous. You have fun though lol.

[–] frezik@midwest.social 0 points 2 months ago (1 children)

I'd pick a random worker at a Wendy's in Des Moines over her.

And you're saying that would be less weird because they're more of a world leader? Ok yeah makes sense.
