Jill Stein to Bernie Sanders: Run on the Green Party Ticket & Continue Your Political Revolution
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 8 июн 2016
- democracynow.org - As Bernie Sanders prepares to meet with President Obama, we speak to Green Party presidential candidate Jill Stein, who has also been reaching out to the Vermont senator. With Hillary Clinton claiming victory in the Democratic race, Stein is attempting to start a dialogue with the Sanders campaign. In an open letter in April, Stein wrote, "In this hour of unprecedented crisis-with human rights, civilization, and life on the planet teetering on the brink-can we explore an historic collaboration to keep building the revolution beyond the reach of corporate party clutches, where the movement can take root and flourish, in the 2016 election and beyond?" Stein joins us from Albany ahead of this weekend’s New York Green Party convention.

I can only hope that Bernie does side with the Green Party.
Yeah and I realistically know they are going to go for Hillary. Nothing has happened that will change their mind and with Clinton's power no indictment will be coming down. They have done everything to screw sanders so why would they now decide to change. They won't.
As do I. He would not win I don't think, but it would give the Green Party more than 5% of the votes, which would grant them federal funding. That would be HUGE.
+Eetu Palo it could be even bigger. If with sanders they poll over 15% they will be invited to the presidential debates. Getting heard on that level would be huge
I like Jill but she doesn't stand a chance without Bernie on her ticket, she's polling at 4 percent cuz she's not including in the polls
+Sun Wukung they do hold many states seats. It's true they do not hold National seats, but it is very expensive to become elected and it is difficult when both parties are against you. I wouldn't say it's fixed, but it is difficult.
Stein Sanders 2016
Stein Ventura 2016
Sanders Stein & I'm in. Yesterday, I proudly de-registered from being a democrat & changed party affiliation to the Green Party. For this election I am still voting for Bernie in November.
you going to write him in? he promised not to run. and unlike other politicians he keeps his promises.
Operation Agatha
couldn't agree more!
Operation Agatha
i think the dnc knows hillary can't beat trump and will repeat 2008: bernie will get the super delegates he needs and the venereal hell bitch becomes vp. BAM! another four years stuck with the freedom act, drone wars in more countries (this time upgraded with new missiles) and more wall street thievery. where are they going to get money to pay for free college and health care for all after that?
Jill had my loyal vote in 2012 and she will have it now if Bernie does not fight.
Me too.
He never fought. Claimed to be against the oligarchy and refused to go after Clinton. He considers her a friend. Controlled opposition if you ask me.
the thing about TYT and i do watch them. its up to the viewer. if u just want the straight facts they do provide them in many videos. then u can just end on the part where they start talking on what they think unless you want to hear what they think, compare to others.
Hear hear!
Bernie, Jill or Gary never vote for evil or the corrupt
A Stein Sanders ticket would be awesome!
Would be a wet dream!!
SO MANY of US #Berners seem to feel EXACTLY the Same. And is it really ANY Surprise? Gee, give me truth, peace, honesty, living wage, schools, less prisons, no private prisons, and on and on and on? Well, I don't know, gotta get back to you on that one...agenda. Okay, I'm back. Answer is YES!!! F**k You #Establishment #MSM #DCPoliticians #Corporatists you know, A**holes!
Man, Arthur, what a way to feel. That's unfortunate, brother. We are all in this together and your anger at me and other #Berners is wasted. I have nothing but good vibes to send you. I do hope that you reconsider what you think we are worth as the citizenry. We are 99% of this nation's people. We are living in an accelerated time for technology in the Wealthiest Nation in the World, by far, in history. So, there is no reason why we shouldn't have the very best benefits as citizens of that same country.There should be more than pipe dreams and catchy phrases like, USA # 1, as the reason to be a proud people, Americans. We should have it better than any other people in this world if we are the people of the largest economy in the world. And there should be no distinction between people, period. So, whatever your Gender, Race, Age, Wealth, Sex-ID & anything else of your private/public life, you should be treated as an equal citizen...in all matters. Period. That should never be someone's pipe dream. That is what it is, a set of goals worthy of attainment. We should want the very best for all people of this great nation, and we should only elect leaders who will vote for things like that each and every day of their elective office. My best to you, Mr. Diggs.
+Arthur Diggs you have no faith in democracy. You are what I call a settler. You have settled for someone who doesn't believe in people and our country. And I'm talking about Hillary and Trump. Arthur Diggs low standards.
+Arthur Diggs I can see you have lots of passion! Don't give up on hope. Believe me, I've been though many things as well. I'm not a young person but here's an old person asking you not to give up on hope and DEMOCRACY!
her voice is so soothing. i could literally sleep to it.
whereas Hillary's voice will make your ears bleed
Me too it's a very nice voice. Not shrill or shillary
grod4L you actually got a laugh out of me lol
Romanita Jaramillo You're not wrong, literal diahrrea actually DOES spew out of her mouth, the media just edits it all out. That's why she doesn't do press conferences
grod4L I sure did 😉
I'm going green if Bernie fails
me too
#DropDemsDay is July 29 if the Suoer Delegates don't vote for Bernie. There is also a preemptive movement #GoGreenJune19 find out more on Bernieorbust.org
Oh - I kinda heard about that! Thank you for telling me of the day - like a mass exodus? The dems are nothing but a corporate machine as well and everytime I see Bernie, I get sad. (and mad that it was rigged). Even when they say the popular vote was won by Hillary, that's not fair either since many of the voter things were suppressed like in Brooklyn. All those independents who couldn't vote.. I also want Debbie WS fired!
same
im going green if bernie dont win!!! this is some fukn bullsht
I hope he does this to make a third party candidate viable for the future. The two party system just gives us two pieces of shit to choose from every election.
Exactly. Unless we demand more options, they are only going to give us two options. They'd give us one option if they could....they pretty much did this year. Not much difference between Clinton and Trump from my view
If he doesn't , I for one, would feel betrayed... Go to HELL the two party rigged system.!
I want it, we probably all do. But fear of what the media does to alternative parties and how the system is arranged makes it a scary gamble.
it will always be a two party system because you need a majority to win. without a majority the house chooses the president
the real issue is what those two parties should be. the republicans are starting to fall apart. the democrats are moving right to become the conservative party. so the liberal party should be the green party. two party system only it will be democrat vs green
Sanders has a moral responsibility to move independent or Green. If not it will look like a great betrayal to his otherwise honorable (and _truly historic_) campaign.
If Bernie's not a candidate, I'll vote for Jill.
If he failed he should be able to build Green Party wich same ideas with his goals I hope he'll in joined
+MrGeno1951 Donald Trump thanks you for your wasted vote which would only insure a Trump presidency. We've been down this road before and you're a fool. Bernie himself said that the reason he promised NOT to run as a third party candidate is because: " I don't want to be responsible for electing some right wing Republican to be president of the United States of America" . So instead, you'll vote for a woman whose name most voters don't even know? Amazing logic.
Calm down and mind your manners: smart as you might be, you won't convince us to vote for the genius who gave the Haitians a princely 34 cents an hour wage by calling us "stupid". You allude to Gore I believe- if he had won his own state of Tennessee (not to mention the fiasco in Florida over the vote count) he would have won the presidency. So don't blame people who vote their conscience for a virtuous candidate just because you're terrified of big bad Little Hands. If you want to convince us to agree with you, try being polite instead of Trump-like. All you have managed to do is convince us that there's not much difference between you and Little Hands. But at least you have the comfort of believing that you are smart, just like he does. (By the way, "whose", not "who's", is the possessive form- that's just a little hint to help you with your smarts.)
MrGeno1951
Please, don't confuse the message with the messenger. Marathonracer might have learned his manners from Trump University, but that doesn't mean that the conclusion of his argument is wrong.
Yes, if Gore had won Tennessee he couldn't be used as an example.
Yes, if the SCOTUS hadn't given the election, we couldn't use Gore as an example.
But also, if Nader hadn't run we couldn't use him as an example.
Just because there were multiple causes of failure doesn't mean that you don't try to fix at least one of them. Discouraging a third party is the smart thing to do.
If I was Trump I would be sending money to Sanders trying to get him to run knowing that would insure a win for the Republicans.
---
The Green party needs to focus on congressional races during the midterms to build a coalition and to raise money, issues, and support before trying a presidential run.
What argument? Neither of you has made one. You are just repeating a truism ("Discouraging a third party is the smart thing to do.") Smart? You have not begun to prove it. And you have not addressed the issue of virtue in a candidate. Thank you for being a gentleman, though- I am interested in knowing why you would support HRC apart from the lesser of two evils argument. She's terrible and no Progressive.
come on USA.. you need to get support for this woman up to 15%.. wouldn't you love to see her debating Clinton and Drumpf on a national stage?
Please make this happen people
how do you do this? how can i share support for her
Gary Johnson is almost there but the only progressive candidate (if Bernie isn't the nominee for the democrats) would be Jill Stein in the general, we need to spread the word.
No
I never understood why people ever said drumpf, he didn't change it, he never used it, almost every immigrant to the US changed their name as well. also it's not even an insult or literally anything but obnoxious
Ready to vote Green.
She needs Bernie badly. She can't ...ah. ..... talk...ah.....without....ajh.....saying....ahhhh,, ah.....
Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhmmmmmmmm.........Well, Ah, ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh
Need to edit out that whole interview and just show her last two sentences. I mean, ahhhhh, you ahhh, need to ahhhhhhhhhh, edit out all that interview. And ahhhhhhhhh. AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH, just show the ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhh, last two ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh senten-ahhhhhhhhhhhhh-ces. AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH.
Now is the time to find out how serious Bernie Sanders is with the Political Revolution!! All he has to do is join Jill Stein and WIN!!!
#BernieOrBust #JillNotHill
If Bernie does not get the democratic nomination or does not run as a third party candidate, I will vote for Jill.
Republicans and Democrats need to be replaced by Libertarian and Green Party. Racism and lack of equal rights is a thing of the past. Lets just argue economic structures.
+Michael Brown Yeah that's why he says the two party system should be Libertarian and Green Party. Those systems don't contain racism.
+Michael Brown parties*
+Kiwinixx Any group could contain racism, but the fundamental core of those two parties share social liberalism.
+Michael Brown And that is why racist and corrupt parties need to fall apart and become a thing of the past. I'm not saying racism doesn't exist. I'm saying if we have a two party system, let it be the two parties that are socially liberal so we can focus on economic structures rather than have to deal with things that Trump like candidates want to pass. It distracts and makes it more difficult to get actual progress and transparency.
The electorate has indeed moved much more towards Libertarian on the Right, and Green on the Left, over the last few decades. That is indeed where the people are, broadly speaking. That's not where are corporations are, however.
I would vote for a Sanders / Stein ticket in a heartbeat!
You've got my vote, Dr. Stein.
We are not sheep......we don't follow a person......even if it is Bernie Sanders. We follow truth and whats right......the idea is what is important. That is why I will vote for Jill Stein for the general if Bernie abandons the revolution.
Bernie,Bernie,Bernie - your loyalty and passion is surpassed only by your single-minded stubbornness to keep your word at all costs.
We all love and respect your honesty and your unshakeable code of conduct - but - Bernie, - I'm afraid you're bringing a knife - to a gunfight.
If you lose the nomination - please re-think your strategy of endorsing Hillary Clinton !
I know you keep insisting that you will support the "democratic" party so as not to allow a Trump Presidency - but Bernie that strategy will NO LONGER WORK !!
Millions of Liberals and Progressives and Independents have already decided - we WILL NOT VOTE for Hillary under any circumstances. (whether you endorse her or not) - so, in your absence, the Trump presidency is a done deal.
Please heed the kind words of Dr. Jill Stein and the Green Party !!
Your platform and the Green Party platform are a natural fit and complement each other !
Dr. Stein has been very gracious and given you the green light to lead a coalition of Real Progressives and Green supporters to take down Hillary Clinton and Donald Trump and the phony establishment created by Corporate America and crooked politicians.
The time is right - and the time is now - Bernie !!!
Donald Trump and Hillary Clinton are the two most disliked (hated) politicians in American political history. ( They will melt away - like two snowballs in Hell )
American voters are waiting for someone they believe in - someone who will save them from voting for the lesser of two evils.
American voters are waiting for you - Bernie !!!
Get back on your horse, Bernie - these primary battles may be over - but this election war is just beginning !!!!
WHITE HOUSE OR BUST !!!!!!!!
I couldn't have said it better myself. We need to pass your comment around!!
I really like your comment!!
Best comment.
Bernie is doing his thing, you do yours. Did you know for instance that no less than 4 Bernie-crats, as I like to call them (progressive politicians who Bernie supports) have won their own Primaries in the last several days? There was Zephyr Teachout in the 19th Congressional District of New York, who raised more money than any other politician from any of the involved parties, and had average donations of only $50.00 (remind you of anyone?). Kind of shocked everyone (including the very "impartial" DNC) as she blew past the Establishment candidates and won with 30-35% of the vote. And how about two separate politician hopefuls, both named Misty, one in Colorado, and one in Utah, who not only won their Primaries, one for Senate and one for Congress, but shared the distinction of being the first two transgender people to win Primaries at that level. So you see what I'm getting at? Whether Bernie finally gets the nomination or not, and should he fail to get the nomination, whether he decides to endorse or not to endorse, that's all Bernie's stuff. Your stuff (I have to say "yours" and not "ours" at this time because I'm Canadian and we're not having elections just yet) is to get out and get involved at every level possible, getting ourselves, or others who believe in the ideas that Bernie championed, and making sure that those ideas thrive in all the places where they can do the most good. Just like the 4 people I just mentioned. And that's just in the last week. Zephyr Teachout's district is a purple district. Think of that. One of Bernie's believers has a chance at a seat in Congress in a District that is currently undecided. That's what it's all about. Bernie pointed the way. Now it's up to you
Stein is right on the money with all of her talking points! Please Bernie join Stein on the 3rd party ticket!
"It's hard to have a revolutionary campaign within a counter-revolutionary party."
#DumpDemsDay July 26th, 2016 the day after the convention. Register as independents so the democratic party can truly see how many of us feel disenfranchised. As an independent, you can still vote for whoever you wish in the general election.
Mike F on Humanist Report said it was July 29th but I'm sure I'd doesn't make much difference if it's within the few days following the convention. There is another movement perform the convention for those interested to send a preemptive message to super delegates #GoGreenJune19 #GoGreen619 set up by #BernieOrBust for anyone willing to back up their pledge with action as long as it will not affect down ticket Berniecrat votes such as the Florida Tim Canova vote to get DebbieWS the heck out of DC! Anyway, whatever people choose to do, the Democratic Party can't be reinforced for this behavior because it's literally fascist and they have blatantly thrown their power in our faces while Hillary cackles knowing we have no power because we don't control the voting machines and her people do. The DNC has even gone so far as having their people cancel Bernie rally's an hour before so that location changes effect turnout because too many people were showing up. There is no end to their efforts
What are the steps I need to take? How do I achieve a successful party switch? Does it cost money or take a lot of time?
If only Bernie had listened to Jill...
i feel sad for all those people clapping for Hillary. They have no fucking reason why they support her.
if they have a good reason... please.... i'm all ears.
because she's a woman duh. that's all you need. vagina > penis. right? ...right? :$
Experience?
Bad experience though. She supported war, started war, and ruined Libya as Secretary of state. Voted for bank bail outs and favored Bankers over the middle class as a Senator.
correct the record troll?
Jonathan Trevino We've made a lot of progress against ISIS despite the blunder in Libya. Hillary's feats in foreign policy outweigh her blunders, and frankly, I would take someone with blunders and experience over someone with no experience whatsoever.
It's very impressive to form a coalition of both Sunnis and Shia against ISIS given the centuries of hatred that have separated them. Bernie, on the other hand, can't even get his own supporters under control.
She is so articulate.
You can hear the frustration in Jill's voice when talking about Sanders' (lack of) response
What an angel this girl is.
Vote for Jill Stein in deep blue states.
He needs to do this. We need the people to control the DNC and GOP, not the other way around, people should not have to fight to vote in primaries and have their votes undermined by Superdelegates and Winner take all states. They should try to draw us to the primaries, not push us away. And we should control the nominee, not the elites of the party. They might as well throw out the whole primary system and pick the nominees themselves rather than trick us into thinking we have a voice in their parties.
Please Bernie..Join forces with Jill and take this Presidency home!
I really hope Bernie runs as with the Green Party. It's time for REAL change and its time to step away from the corrupt 2 party system we have now.
You can't change a two party system at the presidential level. Look at what happened with the Tea baggers.
You need to focus on some smaller states and win the congressional seats until you can build a force in congress to write the laws which then the President can sign.
Kang5030
Third parties should make their push for congress during the midterms to promote voter turnout. That is what the Tea Party did and they won seats.
---
You want to make sure that they don't help their political opponents win.
This guy stupidly doesn't realize that he is proving the opposite point he is trying to make.
thenobullshitzone.com/ralph-nader-did-not-cost-gore-the-2000-election/
He shows that while many things cost Gore the election, Nader IS certainly one of those things that cost Gore the election.
Harvey Rabbit
There are only two things responsible for a party losing: Fraudulent elections, or themselves.
Ralph Nader is not responsible for Al Gore's loss. Al Gore is responsible for losing votes to Ralph Nader. Perhaps if the Democratic party wasn't so corrupt, our voter turnout wouldn't be so pathetic and they might win more elections. That is unfortunately not their reason for existing.
Never Hill, only Jill
I WILL NOT DOWNLOAD MOBILE STRIKE!
Or vote for Hillary Clinton.
+Chef Jack
Ha!😀
ha ha ha
If Bernie supports Hillary I'm going green from now on.
I gotta give it to Jill Stein, she said she would run as vp if Bernie would run pres on green party thx. But I think she should be pres n him her vp. Then the woman card from Hilary is gone n we get our 'history candidate'
"The DNC fakes left while it moves right."
Very Well Spoken...
I just Love her elegance, intelligence, policies & convictions...
This is what I have been looking for.....!!!!!!
How do I cancel membership of the Democrats' Party and join the Greens?
I did it today. Just go to google and type "change political party" plus whatever state you live in.
I encourage all progressives to leave the DNC and join the Green Party.
+zephyrquartz
Don't do it if your state has closed primaries.
Vote for who you want in the general, but make sure you are able to vote in the primaries for one of the larger parties.
Already did that. My state allows me to vote for anyone I want in the main election.
All states do. Some require you to be registered with a particular party to vote in its primary, but not the general election.
jedgarsquink said:
"All states do."
To which I say, "what"? What do they do and who are you replying to? Especially, as there are very few things that all 50 of the states do.
I think Bernie is still hoping Hillary steps aside when she gets indicted.
I also believe it's that also. Hillary won't have a choice but to quit. The FBI finds more and more on Hillary every week. The FBI has so much the there won't be any question of Hillary Clintons guilt. Also there's a lawsuit from expert lawyers to deal with voting fraud who filed a lawsuit for the fraudulent voting activity during this election. I believe but Bernie is going to win either way because he's the real nominee Hillary Clinton can't even get enough people to dislike a video against her let alone win an election
***** I totally agree with you. But I wonder if the establishment has taken measures to stop the FBI from proceeding with a recommendation to indict Hillary. You see how that rich kid from Stanford only got 6 months in Jail not even prison for raping a girl because his family is "connected." There seems to be one standard of justice for the elite and another justice standard for the poor and middle class.
Stuart Shepherd I believe that is the reason why the FBI is taking so long they don't want her to be able to worm her way out of it they want this to be a crushing blow so they're getting all their ducks in line. If they don't recommend indictment they would have a lot of explaining to do of how what she did was legal and that will be next to Impossible she had names of special agents undercover in those emails along with all the top-secret information others in the past have been brought down for Less and as I said the FBI keep finding things to nail her with
It may be because if she is indicted, someone we know could give her clemency before he leaves office.
***** Yes...I hope they present an air-tight case.
It's a shame that Bernie seems unwilling to talk with Jill. I understand his being hesitant to commit to anything but he needs to examine all options considering how he's been treated by the Democratic party. I hope that changes because I count myself among the many of his supporters who will not follow him in support of Hillary. If not Bernie, I'm going green.
I really like this. I think it's a little early for him to commit, but I'm very happy that they've reached out to him.
This is the first I'm seeing of Jill Stein, I like this woman.
You Go Jill! It's Up To You Now
3rd major political party's a comin'.
I really like Jill Stein! I thought Bernie was left but holy Jill Stein Batman!
Bernie is what the Democratic Party used to be. An FDR Democrat. There has always been people way to the left of people like Bernie, and FDR. Socialists, Communists, which don't' really exist anymore; the early 1900s had a huge leftwing, people who would now be way to the left of Bernie. Dr Stein is just the modern version of that legacy. It's too bad a third party could never win an election, and it's foolish to suggest Bernie run third party. Green Party won't even be on the ballots in all 50 states in November, how could they possibly win?
by working at it - bit by bit. i think death is nigh for both parties
+Ta12dankdiscoveries by getting enough votes to get public finances
+Ta12dankdiscoveries : You don't need to be on the ballot on all 50 states to win. All you need is to win 270 Electoral College. And Green Party is in enough states to do so. Green Party chose wisely to get on the ballots of blue and swing states, it is pointless to try and get on the ballot of Red States as there is no way a red state will vote Green.
Kaze Ok, so in a totally alternate universe it's theoretically possible for Jill Stein to win. Ok, good luck with that!
Got my eyes on you Jill. I love everything you say. I think joining forces with Bernie would be awesome too. I'm ready for a revolution!
Time to put that mule in the ground and start green .
I hope he considers to talk with Dr. Stein!
I think if he makes the decision to go back inside the Democratic party a lot of people will just give up and stay home and Trump will get it. Maybe if he had ran as an independent from jump he would have fared better. Writing his name in if he does not get the nomination I don't think is going anyplace, just a lost vote. I plan on voting for neither one of the other ones running, to me there is no difference.
Whoa. This is going to be very, very interesting. Let's keep working for those who genuinely work for us !
Bernie, just run as an independent! Stein can move there too!
Sander's promise t a corrupt party is meaningless.
+Harry Mathew Obama and other democrats talked to him at the White House and told him what they wanted him to do...that he could hang around till the convention but then must endorse Clinton and get his sopporters to vote for her. And he betrayed his sopporters and immediately endorsed wall street Clinton! It reminds me of when he got pushed aside and threatened by the black lives matter protesters. Now he gets pushed around again in Washington...exactly why he'd be a weak and terrible president. Someone who let's others push him around and does not keep his word and will always give in...not a fighter. Vote Trump if you want someone who can stand up to Washington!
That guy looks a bit like Tom Hanks :). And Jill Stein must have been such a beautiful women back in her 20's-30's...
Jill is beautiful now... stunning...
Honestly, I was saying this from the beginning but didn't know the Green party actually reached out.
People, Planet, Peace! Jill!
It's 2020, can it be possible for a Hawkins Sanders ticket?
DISAPPOINTMENT...... first Obama, Warren. I hope Bernie doesn't get inline with clinton.
warren is an opportunist
Ty Democracy now for your incredible integrity, you guys are the ones who have exposed me to Bernie and got me involved, and I've never cared or participated much in politics. I really appreciate your unbiased approach, your honesty is refreshing. I really only trust your reporting, and I'm glad for it
Historically speaking, there have been multiple parties at a time, I wonder if a similar shift can happen with the Green and Libertarian Parties.
I'll vote for them ONLY if Bernie is the TOP of the ticket.
#NeverHillaryClinton #BernieOrBust VOTE
*****
Then I guess the answer is NO! #BernieOrBust
*****
The question was implied when you posted your previous comment with the first word "WHY?" as a response to my post in the description above the video.
*****
The simplicity of the answer is irrelevant.
*****
The answer to your question was answered before you ever proposed it to me if only you took the time to fully read my original statement.
*****
Your question "WHY?" Because Bernie Sanders is the candidate I support for POTUS, the "ONLY" Presidential candidate I support. Not being on the top of the ticket doesn't suggest that, now does it. In your personal opinion Jill Stein being more (Progressive) is irrelevant to me.
Jill's weakness is her public speaking skills. I like all of her policies but it's hard to listen to her talking
Your weakness is that you're a fucking idiot
+BlackMath69 nice to see you have the capability of carrying on intelligent conversation. you know it is possible to be critical of someone you like. Stop acting like a child it does nothing to help
+Brandon Daniels say something intelligent then we can have said discussion. I'm sure when you speak you have pauses for thoughts and finding the correct words to best illustrate your point
I really like how she talks. What accent does she have?
+tiggerpupify American
Thank you for recognizing the fix of the 2 party system. I, like a growing number of people, will never settle my vote for the lesser of two evils. Recognize the manipulation and think outside the box.
Seat Belts On, Revolution is Now..!
American elections remind me of WWE
What I really think is weird here on RUclips, is that almost no one comes up for Hillary Clinton but all the more about Senator Sanders and crooked Trump himself. He won't do it though, he already promised to ultimatly do anything to stop Trump, even if that means he has to back her as the Democratic candidate, according to a piece about his chat with Obama to do anything to stop Trump. But it ain't over until the fat lady sings, lol.😆 ✌ 🔥 still feel a little Bern though 🔥 🔥 🔥 👍 ✌
I just wish Bernie could see that Hillary is actually worse than Trump.
Its hard to be worse than someone who openly condones war crimes. Who said he would torture people "even if it doesn't work."
Hillary's record is abysmal, but she wouldn't be the death of international relations. Like Drumpf
+Conor McDermott I do agree with that as well. He is just like a loose canon and in a tense and dangerous time like this we need ppl with experience, but is also able to work with others to accomplish it. I get they don't trust her and she is according to a lot of ppl a criminal, coz she used her private server? I do get it's about Benghazi, but isn't that a joint venture? Why only blame her than and why did no one tell her before she send all those emails, that it wasn't save or even legal. But even than, Trump is not the answer and I hope there's still a chance for Bernie Sanders, but he can't stand idely by and devide the country so much, that Trump is even more lightly to get more votes and he may see things different than HRC, but does support the Democratic Party and therefor he may have to give her his endorsement, but certainly not just like that. She may say she won't change any of her policies that are different from Sen. Sanders, but he's not a dumb man, he won't ask his supporters to vote for her if she doesn't meet him halfway. She will have to eventually, or his supporters will really Bust or worse than HRC, thin skinned tirant Trump, who's a kapitalist, why would he give a damn about you all. He lived his whole life as a priviledged man, how can he relate to the masses. I would be careful he doesn't sell your country out or something. Atleast the economy is doing better and will get even better with time, but ppl refused to see what Obama and his Adm. did accomplish, even with all the obstruction. Ppls homes were forclosing when he started and now that same place and their ppl are having more jobs and a better life, but it is a work in.progress, kids need to get better education and also go with the times and there are a lot of jobs in new area's, like technology f.e. so many new jobs will become available if you have the credentials. That's why I love Bernie, he sees who the future is actually for and those are not the fat cats like Trump, but the new generation and they need affordable college and healthcare and getting payed a fair wage and not get left with the mess they have made of this planet by refusing there's any such thing as climate change. We'll see what happens, maybe at the Convention. I do know it ain't over for Sanders yet and some hope HRC gets an inditement, so she can't run, but I doubt it. Trump has still some civil cases against him that even last after the election, but his supporters will even back him if he killed someone on 5th Av. according to him and that says a lot about him and his groupies. Selfish to the bone. ....
So True , Feel The Bern! Boom
Stein may claim not to be a politician, but this is a move many politicians can only admire for it's strategic excellency. .
This is essentially a very free way to reach out to Bernie supporters. Bernie has made his promise to the Democrats and thus won't run as third party. Stein is not honestly hoping she can have Bernie be the nominee for the Green Party. She's hoping to remind Bernie supporters that should they wish to vote for the policies that Bernie supports, they can always vote Green in the general election. They're essentially marketing themselves as the Bernie Sanders Party that you can vote for in the general election.
id love so much to see them both run together, hed give her momentum as well.
true democracy ,good job.!
BREAKING NEWS : We did it! 564 yays and 246 nays!!!! The Washington state delegates are now endorsing Bernie Sanders as presidential candidate
go Jill, I've been "wasting" my vote on you for years and I will continue to do so!
I'm down with it too!
I've been green since the start. Only went democratic to vote for Bernie and he's let me down. I hope Jill gets some votes in, never going Democrat again
I agree. Go Bernie, Go Jill
I love you Jill!!!!
What a delightful woman.
She knows what's up!
The more I hear Jill Stein, the more I like her
That's the main point, imo, the USA is fucked until we 1.get rid of the two party system 2. get rid of the powers of corporate lobbyists.
I hope Senator Sanders runs on the Green party ticket. Regardless, I have decided to vote for the green party candidate rather than write-in Sanders, unless there is an organized write-in campaign.
I'm with you Jill:)
I'm a huge supporter of Bernie Sanders, but I believe that if Bernie was to run in the Green Party ticket, it should be, at most, as a VP for Jill Stein. It wouldn't be very unfair otherwise.
She makes so much sense! The only way we will break the stranglehold of our two party system is to not for them when don't represent your values!
Love Her!!!
we need bernie to see this!
I will follow you Bernie as will all your other supporters. Please join another party and run against the other corrupt politicians.
THE WORLD LOVES JILL STEIN.PLEASE TRANSLATE TO SPANISH,FRENCH,AND GERMAN.
i had super high hopes for Bernie. but, after watching him endorse Hillary, i can't say i lost some of that passion. i am really on board with Jill Stein and her messages for the country is a breath of fresh air. i love her determination to stay focus on subjects that are truly affecting everyday americans. her views of this right wing Democratic party is dead on. Go Jill!!!
That would be awesome
we need the Green Progressive PARTY NOW!
He was asked if he would run with Jill Stein on the Green Party ticket a week ago again, and he wouldn't rule it out. He said he wanted to worry about the democratic primary first.
It's time to go green Bernie....
damn green party has primaries? lol I want to see the person left of Stein lol
Jill Stein is great, but I can't listen to "ah" every five words. Bernie or Bust
Jill and Bernie will rock our country towards prosperity, peace and security. You got my vote!
I LOVE JILL STEIN! CAN WE PLEASE MAKE HER POTUS ?
I hope Jill is able 2 get Major Ballot Access this fall ? The Planet & the American Ppl need her . She's a very Bright, Educated, Women . . .
as A Bernie support you got my supper. keep reaching out Bernie support . we like some one for the people.
I'm with her...Jill Stein that is.
Bernie should consider it if he officially loses the dem nom. Then he'd still be in the race for the general. Should've done it in 2016.
We don't need a 3rd party- we need no parties & an informed electorate.
The ghost of Ron Paul just walked though my shop.
I miss Ron.
she cares more about the ideas she believes in than she does about her personal advancement, a noble woman
