    She is correct on AOC. AOC’s point about Greens needing to reach a wider audience is fair. That is also hard to do when you get no coverage and don’t have a donor class of billionaires behind you. I have no issue with Greens running for Presidency, since there is no real overlap with Dem and Green voters. If Green options weren’t there, you still wouldn’t be getting the vote for Dems. They just wouldn’t vote at all.

      Oh so that’s why she dines with traitors. Does she want that audience, or is she colluding?
      Seems she needed to collude before getting their support.

        She has been cleared of that by The Senate Intelligence Committee Investigated and exonerated Stein. It is an old talking point.

          Cleared? There’s pictures and you can see where she gets her funding from…

          Nice propaganda

        I do think there should be a bigger effort for local efforts for third parties. But I get it fundraising and funding doesn’t appear of thin air.

        I live in a state that Trump is projected to win. I don’t see how me voting for Harris a person I can’t influence at all and Liberals won’t push left and is hostile towards protesters is not considered a waste. But If I were to vote for Jill Stein that is considered a waste. When it would lead to possibly being closer to 5% for funding for the party. Liberals see groups as expendable and there is never any plans post Trump. It is just back to brunch.

          I absolutely agree with you! And you’re spot on about the hypocrisy—voting for Harris in a state that’s already leaning towards Trump is seen as “responsible,” but a vote for Stein is dismissed as “wasted.” Like, what?! Once the election is over, the democratic party seems to just head back to their comfortable lives without following through on any real plans for lasting change.
