    I do respect it, and the implicit value action it causes. Enjoy your vote, both on paper, and in consequence.

    I recommend reading about game theory in outcome constrained systems.

      Oh, I will, thank you! I respect and support your right to vote for who you want to as well.

      And that photo has been around a long time, and doesn’t bother me at all. It does nothing to change my mind.

      Plus, it’s already been covered and addressed in a newsweek article:

      https://www.newsweek.com/jill-stein-ties-vladimir-putin-explained-1842620

      I’m still happy and proud to vote for her. :).

      And for the record, I don’t hate Russia as much as people in this community do. I know that fact may wind some people up, but it’s the truth. We are still a country based on freedoms of opinion, and there is no law that says I HAVE to hate Russia or it’s people.

        Nobody hates Russia, they hate Putin, and his regime. Aside from Jill that is.

        Edit the point is the dinner itself represents no wing doing, but as the article mentions it’s about the company you keep.

        Similar to this , since you like Newsweek:

        https://www.newsweek.com/photo-trump-epstein-resurfaces-after-jd-vance-fox-news-1941065

        If you really think stein is on the level after such interactions and social proximity, then that’s the most telling thing about your choices so far.

        And if not Putin, Michael fucking Flynn is there which also speaks to the character of the crowd

            I never said she was a Russian agent, I’m just reflecting on the company she keeps. She chose to stay, chose to listen. Chose to dine with them. We know that for certain. It reasonably opens the door to further concern.

            I’m sure she would explain the presence away, that’s no defence. Same as trump would have some oh so benign explanation for why he was on Epstein’s jet.

              She chose to stay, chose to listen.

              She explained why she was there and what she was doing while there.

              And I’m happily voting for her.

              Not sure why you keep bringing Epstein up. He has nothing to do with Jill Stein, the news article posted, or this conversation.

                I never said he has anything to do with stein. I made a clear point of discussion that Epstein has relation to trump as a point of comparison.

                I.e. Jill was around Putin and Flynn, with an excuse.

                Trump was around Epstein, with an excuse.

                Super basic critical thinking.

                  Again with the Epstein. This has nothing to do with Epstein. Let’s move on. You disagree with me. I disagree with you. And that’s ok.

                    It’s not “again” you said you didn’t understand, and I clarified I never associated Epstein with stein, then reminded you what I did associate him with (trump, and a pattern of familiarity that is suspect)

                    The point you aren’t getting is the names don’t matter, it’s the pattern and proximity, albeit with an “excuse”, which proves paper thin given the reputation of the other person (Putin/ Flynn, or Epstein.)
