Just Ignore Jill she represents almost no one. It is just not that hard.
- Even Ralph Nader, the most recognized and influential figure in Jill's party said he wouldn't vote for her. (The article is from before Biden dropped out, but none of his reasons for voting Biden are invalidated by a Harris ticket.)
  
  Even fellow Greens are smart enough to see that a vote for Stein is a vote for Trump — and what a danger that is to American democracy.
  
  Now that Nader fellow seems like he’s got a good head on his shoulders
  
  a vote for Stein is a vote for Trump
  
  this is election misinformation. it's illegal to count a vote for one candidate as a vote for another.
- Just Ignore Jill she represents almost no one
  
  Well, it definitely seems as if the news and the democratic party isn't ignoring her.
  
  Yeah they are. It's all pretty laughable. Everyone is aware that voting third party is throwing your vote away and this election is far too important for anyone serious to do that.
- Wasn’t that at an RT dinner (RT is a Russian propaganda outlet.)
  
  You'll have to ask Jill.
- Peskov, Putin, and Michael Flynn... all so very well known for their support of progressive causes.
Rather than arguing that Stein's goals were unrealistic, or that she's a mere spoiler, or that she's an unwitting tool of Russia, Ocasio-Cortez made a different charge: That the Green Party candidate is simply bad at politics.

Sets aside all the obvious criticisms that everyone is aware of by now and simply goes for the jugular. Attagirl AOC 😍
