So many untrue, specious and misleading statements and thoughts in
@aoc’s undemocratic diatribe against
@DrJillStein - as an aside AOC is doing a bang up job replicating Nancy Pelosi’s repudiation of progressive principles in her rise to power (Bring Down the House - more like Climb the House).
However, as someone who had support from Jill Stein at every step of my own mid-term campaign, the idea that Jill and the Greens are conducting some type of quadrennial grift and don’t invest in building the party or down ballot races is especially insulting and untrue.
Perhaps, AOC would like to explain why I needed to go to federal court to be on the ballot (I am 3 and 0 in federal court against the
@dscc with a federal victory as well against the Democratic Party controlled NC State Board of Elections), why the Democratic Party is obsessed with unconstitutionally and fraudulently keeping Green and other third parties/independents off the ballot, or why money is everything not just to AOC and her party, but to the entire American political/electoral system, which includes a corporate media system betrothed to the two party system.
AOC is dangerous. Whether its her gaslighting to excuse genocide or false assertions meant to prohibit democratic choice, AOC will do what is best for herself at the expense of those in her supposed constituency. Like Pelosi’s career arc, much worse is to come from AOC. That’s why she has such a future in the Democratic Party.
George Carlin said it best: “it’s a big club and you ain’t in it”. AOC is in the club though and we will all continue to suffer as wealth inequality grows, wars and genocide continue and climate collapse hastens. The club will not just be ok, they will grow richer. AOC will lie and gaslight to remain in that club. It’s who she is, it’s who the Democrats are, and it’s who the elites, the club, are.
The only alternative is to build power independent of AOC, the Democratic Party and the elites. Anything else is a lie told to oneself that maintains the status quo for the parties War and Wall Street at our expense while jeopardizing our future.
Just like clockwork, all the paid DNC trolls are repeating AOC’s talking points attacking Jill Stein.
Ask yourself: why are the people who’re funding genocide instead of Medicare for All so upset about the Green Party being in the ballot?
