Progressives aren't quite sure how to deal with Jill Stein
The spat between AOC and Jill Stein comes after years of progressives growing their ranks within the Democratic Party.
Just Ignore Jill she represents almost no one. It is just not that hard.
Even Ralph Nader, the most recognized and influential figure in Jill's party said he wouldn't vote for her. (The article is from before Biden dropped out, but none of his reasons for voting Biden are invalidated by a Harris ticket.)
Even fellow Greens are smart enough to see that a vote for Stein is a vote for Trump — and what a danger that is to American democracy.
Just Ignore Jill she represents almost no one
Well, it definitely seems as if the news and the democratic party isn't ignoring her.
Right? I imagine Stein and the Green party would prefer that - rather than having to go to court all the time to make a case for why they should remain on the ballot.
Rather than arguing that Stein's goals were unrealistic, or that she's a mere spoiler, or that she's an unwitting tool of Russia, Ocasio-Cortez made a different charge: That the Green Party candidate is simply bad at politics.
Sets aside all the obvious criticisms that everyone is aware of by now and simply goes for the jugular. Attagirl AOC 😍
