These assholes are both self-serving opportunists. AOC supports the imperial Democratic leadership, and Jill whitewashes the equally genocidal regimes of Putin and Assad.

There’s a space between whitewashing and nuance. The mainstream American idea of “baddies” like “Putin” is fucking childish. Especially from a country that supports the Saudis and Netanyahu.

Jill Stein is not a very effective political operator. She holds progressive back by staying in leadership while achieving nothing.

AOC is a nice person I am sure but she’s also a mainstream Democrat, not a radical. Those of us who want more radical politics are disappointed.

Both peoplecan be simultaneously right and wrong.

If it's childish to think Putin is bad, I hope I never grow up.
