In an Instagram story posted on Sunday, Representative Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, a New York Democrat, blasted Green Party presidential candidate Jill Stein as "predatory" due to her multiple runs for the White House while struggling to grow the third party at the grassroots level.
In 2016, Stein played kingmaker in several key battleground states. Her vote total was higher than Donald Trump's margin of victory in Wisconsin, Pennsylvania and Michigan—prompting intense backlash from Democrats and political pundits. Not only was Stein widely condemned as a spoiler, but former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton, who was the Democratic nominee during the 2016 election, later accused her of being a "Russian asset."
Ocasio-Cortez accused Stein and the Green Party, which reached its current party status in 2001, for only putting its emphasis on presidential elections. To date, no Green Party candidate has ever held a federal office and only a handful have been elected as state legislators.
Ocasio-Cortez, responding to a question from an Instagram follower about Jill Stein's candidacy, said that "this is a little spicy, but I have thoughts."
"If you run for years in a row, and your party has not grown, has not added city council seats, down ballot seats and state electives, that's bad leadership. And that to me is what's upsetting," the congresswoman said about Stein.

I love Jill Stein, for all the right reasons.
Would love to campaign for her. :)
Her and Cornell West.
The solution is simple. If a third party is drawing votes away from you, defeat that third party by the persuasive nature of your ideas. Lay out your plans and explain why voting for your party is superior to voting for the third party. It’s not that hard.
That’s an undemocratic attitude.
Parasites have a harder time feeding off of Predators, after all, and scavenging always carries inherent risk. Just ask any Jackal. :P
5 will get you 10 that AOC is the Sh*tocrat nominee for president in 2028
Living in MA, I remember when Jill Stein ran for governor in 2002.
She’s still at it.
All true leftists need to vote for Jill Stein.
Also, all Arab-Americans need to vote for the one person arrested during a pro-Palestinian rally.
Go Jill!
Notice how Democrats ignore the “issues” and go straight to the personal attack.
They do it because it works.
Republicans who fail to do it get crushed.
I had thought that Jill Stein and AOC would be working on the same side. Apparently not, even socialists draw sharp distinctions within their own ranks.
Some are just “kinder, gentler” versions, while others are more dedicated to the disciplinary practice of enforcing the precepts and methods of delivering socialism to the masses.
Sometimes socialists are their own worst enemies.
Charge her with violence little girl!
Haha! Rat fight!

AOC and Stein should have a public debate to argue which one of them is most devoted to the AGW hoax agenda and hating Israel.
If you have to say it then you don't.
I do, too. Make me a gin and tonic, cupcake ... heavy on the limes.
Chop chop!

Come on people. You know as well as I. Send her and him money. What good is my $10 without a whole lot of you doing the same? What’s needed is someone big to call for it. Not Trump. How about Elon or some Hollywood rogue? Could catch on.
