AOC vs Jill Stein: Fear and self loathing in NYC

Green Party presidential candidate Jill Stein, in a recent campaign email, wonders why Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, the eponymous AOC (and the worst left-of-center eponymous political figure since the "Notorious RBG") keeps hating on her when many other Democratic Party national politicos have lightened up.

Here's Jill's receipts:

While some Democrats like Keith Ellison have jumped on the “Smear Jill Bandwagon,” others have taken a different route. Check out what these other Democratic lawmakers have said after AOC’s recent attacks on Jill Stein:

"If you have people who are upset at the system, attacking their candidate is probably just reinforcing their concerns about the system, I think we have to earn people's votes. I don't think you go negative on third-party candidates." - Rep. Ro Khanna

"The Democratic Party has to do a lot more to become more progressive, and if we don't have Green candidates or independent candidates, or the Squad, does the party do that? I would say no," - Rep. Jamaal Bowman

"We have to be persuasive to those that might be leaning toward voting for them, I think the margins are too small for us to be smug about it." - Rep. Ilhan Omar of Minnesota

Why is AOC not using honey rather than vinegar?

It's simple. And just like the headline says.

Fear? Fear that she's capped out on making much more quick advancement in House Democratic circles without kissing Pelosi's ring or anular ring even more. Fear of being trapped on the House side because a Democratic Senate run isn't likely for years.

Self-loathing? To the bit she's anything more than Just.Another.Politician.™, or was half a dozen years ago, it's self-loathing for being a sellout. It's self-loathing, if there's inner honesty, for being a sellout on the discount rate — 15 pieces of silver instead of 30, to go biblical.

And, yes, the reality is that she's a sellout and that it didn't get anything.

Look at her and other Dems' fake and stolen Green New Deal. (And the Sunrise Movement, the Sierra Club's kiddie wing, as part of that.)

Not long after that, there was AOC throwing Ilhan Omar under the bus over "the Benjamins," surely to curry favor with Pelosi. (Sadly, Omar eventually caved.)

Of course, on the issue of being pergressuve or not, there's the question of how "invented" her background really is. There's the question of what kind of "JAP" she is.

And, before Oct. 7, 2023, there's the question of just how much she really opposed Israel. And, there's the issue, not question, of her unsupporting BDS and sucking up to the corpse of John McCain. Or her being one of the Nat-Sec Nutsacks™ on Ukraine.

Donut Twitter and semi-Donut types like Ryan Grim will keep fluffing her. I'll keep mocking and scorning.
