But what’s seriously, seriously predatory is the fact that Stein is a Putin backed, spoiler candidate that has every incentive not to have a ceasefire. Remember this…
Actually, it’s nothing more than lazy slander pepetuated by duopoly apologists.
There’s zero proof Stein is “Putin backed”. She once sat at the same table at an international conference and barely spoke to the man. That’s it.
Meanwhile, AOC has been publicly performing as a genuine progressive for her voters and constituents all while voting and acting like a corporate Democrat behind the scenes.
This was debunked back when it came up in 2017 (?) There’s a good article about it here. The summary is that Stein was there in a diplomatic role. You know, as presidential candidates do. The Senate Intelligence Committee investigated her and found no wrongdoing.
A campaign spokesperson told Newsweek that Stein “attended at her own expense to spread a message of peace and diplomacy” and gave a speech in Moscow “in which she criticized the excessive militarism of both Vladimir Putin and U.S. leaders.”
Speaking to The Intercept in 2017, she said the notion that it was an “intimate roundtable” was “mythology,” and that Putin and his associates “weren’t at the table for very long.” Stein said that “nobody introduced anybody to anybody” and that she “didn’t hear any words exchanged between English speakers and Russians” due to the lack of a translator.
Stein said that Putin had appeared to make a speech and left immediately after. “Nobody cared to make introductions. This wasn’t intended to be a discussion of any sort,” she told the outlet.
How does not growing one’s party enough compare to failing to codify reproductive rights into federal law, authorizing the Iraq War, dropping the public option from the Affordable Care Act, and not sanctioning Israel; and then threatening that if we don’t vote for them it will get worse? AOC has really become a repugnant little gremlin.
Isn’t this like the second or third time this has been posted today?
One of the drawbacks of being subbed to lots of comms in several different instances: dupe posts. There’s no central method to detect them, and not everyone is subbed to the same instances, so not everyone would see them all anyway.
The crosspost feature helps, but it only works if all of the posts are made by the same user or shared from the original post.
