AOC vs Predator – Is Anti-Genocide a Predatory Stance?

In a lying-down Instagram video, AOC calls Dr. Jill Stein "predatory" for not bending the knee to the Democratic Party

From a too-casual couch angle, a reclined Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez gave her “spicy” take on Green Party candidate Jill Stein in an Instagram video this week:

“You’re not serious. You’re not – to me, it doesn’t read as authentic. It reads as predatory. I’m sorry, I’m just saying it. What does this person do to grow power?” So Katie and Aaron give their own spicy takes in response.

First, which is more predatory – running as a third-party candidate in a system built to crush dissidents, or telling voters that your own candidate is “working tirelessly for a ceasefire” even as her administration sends its 500th weapons shipment to Israel?

And how does AOC expect the Green Party to grow power when the Democratic Party is strangling it at every turn by blocking ballot access, spam calling voters while impersonating Green Party staffers, and constantly smearing its candidates? Stein’s mission in the 2024 election is to pass the threshold of 5% of the popular vote, which would earn her party national public funding, ballot access, and potential debate inclusion in future elections.

AOC claims to oppose the two-party system, but as Jill Stein is doing her best to break it, the couch-lain Insta smears tell a different truth.

This week’s Thursday Throwdown is jam-packed with media madness from all across the political spectrum. Death in Israel was finally mentioned on corporate media this week because six Israeli hostages were killed. No word yet from Dana Bash and co on the tens of thousands of murdered Palestinians.

Plus, with a new election comes new foreign interference conspiracies. Are pundits and politicians worried about the millions spent by Israel and AIPAC to influence Congress members and oust progressives, as reported by the New York Times?

If you guessed “of course not,” you’re right! It’s Russiagate 3.0! But this time, with a spicy new twist. Watch the full episode to find out what it is.

It’s all as terrible as it sounds. Watch with Aaron and Katie so you can laugh instead of cry at it all. Subscribe to watch the full episode here:
