A party which didn’t grow last election doesn’t deserve to exist? Take off the AOC rose-colored glasses for a second. What she’s saying is extremely anti-democratic and makes no sense.

It’s obvious the only reason AOC is firing shots at Jill Stein is because her establishment ghoul party is afraid of losing votes. Because of their complicity in Genocide of course.

That isn’t what she’s saying at all! She’s saying that if your party isn’t growing then maybe the leader is kind of rubbish and should be replaced. Very different from his you’re hearing it.

Stein has been the candidate since 2012. The only dip they took was 2020 where everyone consolidated around Biden against Trump. Because the Democrats were having a whine fest about Hillary being beaten by the margin the Greens took from her in 2016. The Democrats took those 2020 votes and are now using them to support an ongoing Genocide.

Of course AOC doesn’t care about history. She just wants to cash in those D votes AIPAC paid for.

Stein didn’t run in 2020. The Green Party nominated Howie Hawkins. Get your own history right if you’re going to have a conversation about a fringe political party.

The Greens have gotten more than 1% of the popular vote only twice in its history: 2000 and 2016. In fact, they haven’t gotten 0.5% of the vote in any other year. So it’s easier to look at that total history and understand that it was 2016, not 2020, that was the outlier.

Running the same candidate again after losing twice is a sign that the party isn’t serious.
