Jill Stein claps back after AOC slams Green Party presidential campaign as "predatory"

"What I have a problem with is the fact that if you are running for president, you are the de facto leader of your party," she said. "You are the leader of your party, and if you run for years and years and years and years and years in a row and your party has not grown and you don't add city council seats and you don't add down-ballot candidates and you don't add state electeds, that's bad leadership."

"If you have been your party's nominee for 12 years in a row – four years ago and four years before that and four years before that – and you cannot grow your movement pretty much at all and can't pursue any successful strategy and all you do is show up once every four years to speak to people who are justifiably pissed off but you're just showing up once every four years to do that, you're not serious."

AOC has a very valid point here.

What's seriously predatory is pretending your candidate is 'working tirelessly for a ceasefire' when in reality they’re actively arming and funding genocide.
That redirection was Stein’s response. AOC’s statement is 100% on point and Stein didn’t have anything to say on it.
- Elections are not the time to be "fixing things". Elections are for deciding on who has the best tools at the moment to fix things once the election is settled. Jill Stein doesn't have any tools at all (unless you want to be crass and call her and her supporters tools), so all she can do is criticize what the other guys have and hope maybe they'll get mad enough to drop some at her.
AOC has a very valid point here.
Aye, a point not addressed at all by Dr. Jizz Stain as she literally just does exactly what AOC called her out on. The only problem is AOC giving her more attention than she warrants.
- I think it’s good to let people know who and what the good doktor truely is.
So why do you support genocide?
- Agreeing with AOC that Jill Stein is ineffectual at growing the Green Party is supporting genocide?

Oh look, a new name. Is this your third name? I have to admit I'm impressed. It's been 25 days since you created this account and you are coming up in my feed at 706 posts and 1.24k comments. Assuming you are offline for 8 hours a day that comes to a post or comment every 12 or 13 minutes for nearly a month. You must be exhausted.

Here, let me help you out. Jill Stein is Putin/Trump's useful idiot and a spoiler candidate.

Now you can just paste in one of your usual replies and keep that comment count rising without wasting any time.

Ah, comrade, your calculations are almost as sharp as the blades of the capitalist machine that grinds down the working class daily. I'm glad that I am so important to you, that you keep statistics about me.
But let me tell you, the fire that burns within me—within all true revolutionaries—never tires, never dims. I speak out relentlessly not because I am exhausted, but because the truth demands to be shouted from the rooftops until the walls of this oppressive system crumble.
As for your tired trope about Jill Stein being a "useful idiot"—it's a clever little trick, isn't it?
A diversion meant to scare folks back into the arms of the very duopoly that’s been strangling true democracy for decades.
You cling to the narrative of "spoilers" because you're terrified—terrified that the people might just wake up and realize there’s a world beyond your two-headed snake, a world where the voices of the oppressed can rise above the din of corporate puppetry.
Keep trying to sow doubt, my friend. It only fuels the revolution further.
- I’m glad that I am so important to you, that you keep statistics about me.
  To be fair, anyone working as hard as you to get Trump in office again is important to me. But I don't keep statistics on you. Lemmy does that. All I did was take two seconds to do a calculation.
- Lol, we aren't scared at all about this nobody party we hear nothing about or from except at the last second in some desperate attempt to claw validity from thin air. We are annoyed we have to put up with this pointless BS that has literally zero chance of success and only serves to help the opposite agenda.
  TBH I support their down ballot running everywhere they have a legit chance to win or even seriously impact the Overton window, but her dumb ass running for President at this pointless stage in the game has no chance in hell of either.
- You say you want a revolution, well you know...
