“I think we are only going to get it by standing up and voting our values, understanding that the lesser evil doesn't solve the problem. It just prolongs the problem and it paves the way to the greater evil. That the policies of the Clintons, the Wall Street deregulation and NAFTA, created the economic misery that becomes very fertile territory for demagogues like Donald Trump.” ThinkingWayProblemValuesEvilUnderstandingGreaterEconomicStreetsPolicyWallTrumpStandingMiseryClintonSolveVotingTerritoryFertileLesser EvilDeregulationNafta Author:Jill Stein
“Neoliberalism, arguably, sets the course for this kind for this kind of neo-extremism, this right-wing extremism that we are facing.

“In my view, this is not extremism on the left. This is what the American people support in poll after poll. Support the right to a job. Support living wages. Support real climate action. Support small community-based banks that make loans available to every day people and small businesses, not these too-big-to-fail banks that rip us off, that crash the economy at taxpayer expense. Support a public-option healthcare system, not Obamacare, which has been a boondoggle for insurance and pharmaceutical companies.” PeopleHas BeensRealBigsActionJobsLeftCommunityViewsCompanySupportEconomyFailingClimateAvailableExpensesHealthcareCrashWagesSmall BusinessPollsLoanRipTaxpayersExtremismObamacarePharmaceuticalLiving WageClimate ActionPharmaceutical CompaniesSmall Communities Author:Jill Stein

“I think it's a sign of a gotcha political system that's looking to take down public interest candidates that they make a big deal out of a comment to a parent concerned about the exposure of young children to Wi-Fi. Now it turns out that Wi-Fi is actually untested. A large study by the NIH [National Institutes of Health] released a month ago raised serious questions about whether kids ought to be exposed, whether young children ought to be exposed to Wi-Fi. And you know, I'm not saying they should or they shouldn't but that this should be studied.

“We had lead emitted in gasoline and in paint, painting generations of housing for an entire century, practically, before it was regulated. That's what I'm talking about, is that we have a regulatory system that is biased to protect profit and not to protect people.
