<[link removed]>Friend,
This is wild: just yesterday, Democratic representative Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez posted an Instagram video riddled with falsehoods in which she attacked Jill Stein and the Green Party as “not authentic” and “predatory”.
Even with the usual paid DNC trolls jumping in to amplify AOC’s talking points, Jill’s replies on X/Twitter blew them out of the water:
<[link removed]> <[link removed]>We’ll let you in on a little secret: we have a member of Team Stein/Ware who worked on AOC's 2018 campaign and helped shape her platform (which at the time looked a lot like Jill’s 2016 platform). But this person is with our movement now because they’ve seen the failed strategy of reforming the reactionary right-wing politics of the Democratic Party from within.
With more and more people coming to the same realization that the Democratic Party is a dead end for progress, it’s clear that the Democrats are mobilizing all the firepower they can to attack Jill, Butch, and the Green Party for daring to offer a real choice for voters like you who care about people, planet, and peace.
Friend, will you pitch in right now to help us fight back against the anti-Democratic Party’s attacks? <[link removed]>
<[link removed]>DONATE <[link removed]>Let’s talk about the shameless, hypocritical, and frankly abusive behavior of Democrats who act concerned that the Green Party isn’t having enough success against the duopoly - while their own party actively suppresses Greens by suing us off ballots, hiring paid operatives to sabotage our campaigns, locking us out of debates, fighting ranked-choice voting, attacking us with all kinds of misinformation and smears, and doing everything they can to prevent voters like you from having real choice. Why isn’t AOC saying anything about that?
Despite this relentless repression by the anti-Democratic Party, the Green Party has persevered and Greens have won 1400 elections, making us the most successful independent left party since Eugene Debs’ Socialist Party. We’ve won city council seats, mayoral races, school board elections, and despite the massive disadvantages for grassroots candidates who don’t take corporate money, we’ve won state legislative seats too.
Contrary to the misinformation coming from AOC and countless DNC trolls, Jill Stein has supported many down-ballot candidates, campaigned with them, fundraised for them, and even recruited many of them. She has spoken at state Green Party conventions, community meetings, college campuses, and every kind of protest you can imagine, from anti-war to climate to racial justice.
Greens are active in these movements across the country and have run thousands of down-ballot candidates. But whenever and wherever we run Green candidates, guess who always comes running to try to stomp out the Green Party? You guessed it: the Democrats.
The Democratic Party is the biggest obstacle to progress in this country precisely because it takes up the space where we should have an authentic people’s party, while actively working to prevent the growth of a genuine party for the people. The Democrats tell you they support the things you do during elections, then after they get elected they toss all those promises in the trash and go back to working for their donors, Wall Street and war profiteers.
Speaking of which, we have a few questions for AOC: whathappened to $15 an hour? What happened to Medicare for All? What happened to the Green New Deal? What happened to canceling student debt? Where’s ranked-choice voting? These are all issues that the Green Party first brought to the national political discussion, and when Green ideas start getting too popular, the Democrats co-opt them and find people to tell you that we’ll get these things someday - if we all just stay in line and keep voting blue.
These DNC narrative managers tell you to be outraged when Republicans put kids in cages, but not to worry when Democrats do it. They tell you it’s fine that the Democrats aren’t holding a primary, because they can “push Biden left”. They tell you that Kamala Harris is “working tirelessly for a ceasefire”, when everyone knows that the Biden-Harris administration is actively arming and funding the genocide in Gaza.
So when you compare grassroots Greens working their hearts out for people, planet, and peace to the treacherous, corrupt, and genocidal Democratic Party, who’s really authentic and who are the real predators?
Our opponents have mountains of corporate cash to push their deceitful talking points, but we have truth, justice, and incredible supporters like you on our side. If you can pitch in to help us fight back against their relentless attacks, we’d be extremely grateful. <[link removed]>
