Stein is latest in a series of mostly leftist figures to announce candidacies with the potential to erode Biden’s core support

    I used to hear people complain that Stein sat at a table with Putin and I assumed it was at a charity event or state dinner but it turns out she was a special guest for the 10th anniversary of the Russian state funded TV propaganda network RT in Moscow.

        If that’s true, is that supposed to make it better? She traveled half way around the world to celebrate the anniversary of a Putin propaganda network.

          to celebrate.te a network that has given her more airtime than CNN, MSNBC, and Fox combined.

        Oh what luck! She bought a ticket and ended up next to those people. She must have been so surprised!

        You don’t sit with Putin, just because you purchase a ticket.

          he only sat at the table a couple minutes, and didn’t speak to anyone

            if there’s a Nazi at the table and 10 other people sitting there talking to him, you got a table with 11 Nazis.

              good rule of thumb but if I’m sitting at a table in Hitler’s Germany, am I supposed to start throwing knives in the middle of his propaganda gala?

        “They did offer to pay my way and I said, No thank you.”

        Sounds like a VIP to me. She was also sitting at the table with the keynote speaker, Michael Flynn.

        Until now, Stein hasn’t offered many details about how she came to be there or what happened beyond saying it was “a great opportunity to lay out some of my foreign policy proposals and get Russian reactions to them.”

        So she wanted Putin’s approval on her foreign policy?
