Recently, AOC followed up her objectively dishonest appearance at the DNC with an ig love where she answered questions/platformed democratic talking points. During that stream, she directed pointed criticism at Jill Stein and portrayed the green party as a whole as self-serving opportunists.

Since then, that narrative has been taken up as a major talking point across liberal and pro-capitalist left circles on social media, including on this site. This was Jill's response.

Probably. Folks in the US are used to hearing anything left of the GOP being called leftists and 'the left.'

We can call it a euphemism. Such people exist. The contradiction sometimes lost on them, sometimes not.
