Hot take but.... AOC is absolutely right. What are the greens doing in-between each election cycle? Are they winning down ballot/local elections? Are they organizing demonstrations? No. That loser Jill Stein just runs a failed campaign every 4 years. She's not a comrade, she's a grifter.

Say what you will about AOC or the DSA (I'm sure there is plenty of valid criticism), but at least they win and are executing on a plan to gain power. And while I think similarly of the PSL's electoral strategy as the Greens, at least the PSL does phenomenal organization and activism.

Maybe there's something I'm missing, but I fail to see what material benefits Stein/Greens actually provide. If you're looking for a box to check that isn't D/R, by all means vote for the G. But I don't really see any material reason to donate or promote the Greens.

Why is this a good thing? The Nazis apparently knew how to gain power. Should I support them?

What's the point of congratulating AOC on getting elected if she supports genocide? If you want that, you can vote for the other two parties anyways.
