Hello friends, I have decided to post a thread about the 2016 U.S. Presidential Candidacy of Jill Stein! Jill Stein was the 2012 Presidential Candidate of the Green Party of the United States. She was on the ballot in 36 states + DC and she finished fourth in the race, receiving more votes than every presidential candidate except Democrat Barack Obama, Republican Mitt Romney, and Libertarian Gary Johnson. Jill Stein received 469,628 votes in the 2012 Presidential Election (0.36%). Jill Stein is running again as a 2016 Presidential Candidate! She formally announced her 2016 Presidential Candidacy on June 22nd, 2015. She is one of five candidates competing in the Green Party Presidential Primaries. The other four 2016 Green Party Presidential Candidates are Darryl Cherney, SKCM Curry, Bill Kreml, and Kent Mesplay. I have yet to actually watch this video myself, but here is a link to a video of a recent Presidential Forum featuring all five 2016 Green Party Presidential Candidates: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UN7QfvZemRk Here is a link to a bodaciously brilliant Jill Stein Rap Video that was created by some high school students during Stein's 2012 Presidential Campaign: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mWPvx-DAUgI And here is another 2012 Jill Stein Campaign Song that was made by one of her supporters in 2012: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GRaXx_jGBpc I suppose it's cool that people are excited about Bernie Sanders's presidential candidacy, but I'm also glad Jill Stein is still doing her thing as a more anti-establishmentarian yet still very respectable lefty figure. It's nice to see the Green Party working with Socialist Alternative, and I was very glad to hear Jill Stein talking about a Red-Green Alliance at a recent event where I got the chance to meet Jill Stein. Attached is a selfie that Jill Stein so graciously allowed me to take with her. This thread is for discussing Jill Stein! Thanks, friends!

I think Jill Stein and Darryl Cherney were the best speakers and gave the best answers to the questions that were asked. If I had to choose one, I would say Jill Stein gave the best performance at the Presidential Forum. I think and hope Jill Stein will be nominated as the 2016 Green Party Presidential Candidate.

My one regret for the 2012 election when I was voting in DC was that I didn't put down Jill stein for prez, Eleanor Holmes Norton for rep (ok I did this one) and then lizard people the rest of the ballot.

Bobby Digital posted:Anti-GMO, anti-nuclear energy, want "more research" into vaccines. So they're basically the party of those liberals. The ones who are trotted out to represent everyone left of center by anybody inclined to discredit honest and legitimate leftist issues. After Jill Stein started dissing Bernie because he was taking all that money those of us who sometimes wearily vote green in protest, sometimes gave to the Greens, I decided she wasnt getting my vote at all, ever, under any circumstance. The more I hear about their sympathies to the anti-gmo/anti-vax/retard hippie crowd the more disgusted I am that I was ever sympathetic to them. I think I hate uneducated/ignorant liberals more than I hate uneducated/ignorant conservatives. Maybe because I expect better of them, so I'm a lot angrier when they let me down with that dumb bullshit

I felt like she wasn't the strongest debater ever. I was way more impressed with Rocky Anderson in the 2012 3rd party debate--someone I knew nothing about, who I assumed was a conservative candidate since his party was named "The Justice Party", but who ended up being a really cool left-leaning guy. I'm pretty sure the libertarians that watched that debate voted for Stein for 2nd because they knew Rocky would've kicked their guy's rear end.

Farmer Crack-rear end posted:green party literally supports homeopathy, there's no way i can give them my protest vote when none of the candidates this year are directly responsible for turning a blind eye to blatant money laundering and torture Bernie literally supports naturopathy which is worse than homeopathy. Homeopathy does nothing. Naturopathy poisons people. He's big into alternative medicine and even hosted a shindig on the hill to introduce his fellow legislators to the wonders of alternative medicine including naturopathy. He tried to insert amendments into the aca to force insurers to cover alternative medicine and has sponsored bills to provide "complimentary" medicine to veterans. In Vermont, naturopaths are permitted to pretend they are real doctors and inject colloidal silver into people's arteries with oversight from a real doctor. Citations: https://www.sciencebasedmedicine.org/legislative-alchemy-revisited-naturopathy-in-vermont-and-colloidal-silver/ http://www.mychamplainvalley.com/news/vermont/sanders-va-doctor-talk-integrative-medicine-for-veterans When the GOP majority kicked Bernie off his va committee chair the quack community was very unhappy: http://m.huffpost.com/us/entry/6122044 medical quacks posted:
Jill and Sanders have a lot in common. They both dislike nuclear power as well for example. It's fascinating to me watching the double standard on this forum of how these things are utter showstoppers when we talk Jill but ignorable when we talk Sanders. Jill is judged by her worste positions and Bernie by his best. Clinton is also judged by her worste moments only - with the kicker that many of those moments are fabricated so she gets hit harder than Jill.

Bernie also walks with the Green Party on GMOs: http://m.huffpost.com/us/entry/7638846 quote:Senator Bernie Sanders represents Vermont, the first state in the nation to pass a "right to know" GMO labeling law. He authored an amendment to the 2013 farm bill that would have given states the ability to require labeling so that they don't have to fight for it, state by state, through propositions on the ballot. Sanders' amendment was defeated 71 to 27 in the Senate, even though 93 percent of Americans want GMOs labeled. But it's not worthy of scorn when Bernie does it. Just when silly Jilly does it.

hemophilia posted:So they're basically the party of those liberals. The ones who are trotted out to represent everyone left of center by anybody inclined to discredit honest and legitimate leftist issues. hemophilia, I think most of what you’re saying in your post here is fair and worth considering. However, I think you’ve given an unfair and inaccurate description of how Jill Stein has been talking about the Democratic presidential campaign of Bernie Sanders. Jill Stein talks about Bernie Sanders’s campaign in this here “Now Age Press” interview: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9ggqmok1OMw I think this is a good example of how Stein has been describing Sanders’s presidential campaign. She admits to agreeing with Bernie Sanders about a lot of stuff and she’s been comparing the Bernie Sanders campaign to the progressive Democratic presidential campaigns of Jesse Jackson in 1988 and Howard Dean in 2004. Both of those campaigns got very popular and it really seemed for some time that both of those guys had a serious chance of becoming the Democratic presidential candidate. However, their campaigns were ultimately thwarted by the combination of hostile mainstream media and a hostile Democratic Party establishment. It looks like Bernie Sanders really does have a chance of winning the Democratic Party presidential nomination, but I think it’s pretty reasonable for Jill Stein to predict that Bernie Sanders’s 2016 presidential campaign will end similarly to how Jesse Jackson’s 1988 presidential campaign ended and how Howard Dean’s 2004 presidential campaign ended. I intend to vote for Bernie Sanders in the Democratic presidential primary, assuming he hasn’t dropped out by the time my state has its primary, because it really does seem at this point that Bernie Sanders could become the Democratic presidential candidate. And if Bernie Sanders does become the 2016 Democratic presidential candidate, then I would encourage Jill Stein to stop running for president and transform her current presidential campaign into a campaign for the Green Party to endorse Bernie Sanders’s Democratic presidential candidacy, like how the People’s Party/Populists endorsed the Democratic presidential candidacy of William Jennings Bryan in 1896. I think Jill Stein and many people in the Green Party are reasonable enough that they would give serious consideration to this possibility. I will not vote for any Democratic presidential candidate other than Bernie Sanders in the general election because I totally reject the idea that it’s necessary to fall in line behind the lesser of the two evils in order to defeat the Republicans. Jill Stein, in my opinion, does a very good job arguing against the idea of falling in line behind the lesser evil in the “Now Age Press” interview that I’ve linked to in this post. Thanks for your consideration and thanks to everyone who has posted in the Jill Stein Thread!

Jill Stein, in my opinion, does a very good job arguing against the idea of falling in line behind the lesser evil in the “Now Age Press” interview that I’ve linked to in this post. I suppose it's no crazier than rejecting institutional medicine. I don't really understand the mentality of people who would rather lose than make incremental progress (if it came down to that choice). Republicans control the vast majority of state legislatures, where they have a huge influence on day-to-day life. They will continue to exert influence for the next 50 years unless Veith v Jubilerer 2004 is overturned by the Supreme Court. Only then could the democrats challenge the gerrymandered district maps that have locked them in an electoral prison. That will only happen if the democrats can replace one of the conservative justices if they retire. That pretty much requires winning the presidency until that happens. But that also means Clinton winning if Bernie fails to get the nomination.
