DailyDot: Green Party Members Trash AOC After She Calles Jill Stein 'Predatory' - From the article:
Stein quickly hit back, swiping at Ocasio-Cortez that “what’s seriously predatory is pretending your candidate is ‘working tirelessly for a ceasefire’ when in reality they’re actively arming and funding genocide,...
Democrats sue to kick us off ballots, hire operatives to infiltrate and sabotage us, lock us out of debates, fight ranked-choice voting, then act concerned that Greens have only won 1,400 elections. So which party is authentic, and which is predatory?”
Some of her supporters: "AOC trying her best to drag Jill Stein for ‘showing up every four years and doing nothing,’ after sitting idle in office for the past 11 months, watching a genocide unfold, is next-level scumbaggery,”...
"Kamala Harris honeymoon is over, so now Democrats are panicking. So they ordered AOC and a bunch of liberals to mass smear Dr. Jill Stein out of desperation,”...
"This is a really embarrassing thing to watch—supposed progressives being attack dogs for a party and a candidate that is literally complicit in genocide while trading the only anti-genocide candidate on enough state ballots to win the election.”
“See, we don’t take no PAC money. We are not knee deep in Raytheon and Lockheed Martin and y’all’s blood money,”
“Predatory is murdering 41,000 people in 11 months and then when they try to speak up, muzzling them when they come up on the stage. You slaughter Palestinians like animals and then you muzzle them like animals,”

Mercury News: Full Text of Kamala Harris' Acceptance Speech -
Excerpts:
"My entire career, I have only had one client. The People."
"I promise to be a President for all Americans."
"You can always trust me to put country above party and self."
"As Attorney General of California, I took on the Big Banks. Delivered $20 billion for middle-class families who faced foreclosure. And helped pass a Homeowner Bill of Rights—one of the first of its kind." Completely false.
"...we will create what I call an opportunity economy. An opportunity economy where everyone has a chance to compete and a chance to succeed. Whether you live in a rural area, small town, or big city.
As President, I will bring together: Labor and workers, Small business owners and entrepreneurs, And American companies.
To create jobs. Grow our economy. And lower the cost of everyday needs. Like health care. Housing. And groceries.
We will: Provide access to capital for small business owners, entrepreneurs, and founders. We will end America’s housing shortage. And protect Social Security and Medicare.
"...we will pass a middle class tax cut that will benefit more than 100 million Americans."
"I will bring back the bipartisan border security bill that (Trump) killed. And I will sign it into law."
I will always stand up for Israel’s right to defend itself and I will always ensure Israel has the ability to defend itself. Because the people of Israel must never again face the horror that the terrorist organization Hamas caused on October 7th. Including unspeakable sexual violence and the massacre of young people at a music festival.
At the same time, what has happened in Gaza over the past 10 months is devastating. So many innocent lives lost. Desperate, hungry people fleeing for safety, over and over again. The scale of suffering is heartbreaking.
President Biden and I are working to end this war such that Israel is secure, the hostages are released, the suffering in Gaza ends, and the Palestinian people can realize their right to dignity. Security. Freedom. And self-determination."
These are the promises that she made. Also see entry of 8/16 for more promises. Why does "The Big Rock Candy Mountain" keep playing in my head?
Other policy positions:
She does not support a ban on fracking.

NYTimes: Democrats Prepare Aggressive Counter to Third-Party Threats - Democrats are bringing out the old 'Nader voters elected Bush' routine again this year.
While 90,000 Florida voters of all persuasions (not just Democrats) voted for Nader in 2000, over 300,000 registered Democrats voted for Bush. 191,000 self-described liberals voted for Bush. A final count of all the votes showed that Gore actually won Florida. The Supreme Court stopped the count and appointed Bush - he was not elected. If Gore had won his home state, Florida would not even have mattered.
It's not the 'spoiler threat' that bothers the two major parties. What bothers them allowing voters to express their true preferences. They erupt whenever the two party focus is threatened. The two parties want to present voters with themselves as the only alternatives at the ballot box.
