Why a vote for Jill Stein is not a “wasted” vote

Green Party of Ohio By Bob Fitrakis & Suzanne Patzer September 29, 2016 Voters beware! Don’t let mainstream shills for the Democratic Party masquerading as non-partisan progressive journalists or pundits bully you into believing you can’t decide for yourself or that the fallout from your vote will topple our nation. First of all, let’s get something straight. No vote is a “wasted” vote. Anyone who tells you this does not have respect for you or our democratic system. All Votes Matter. A person who takes time to think about issues or candidates and goes to a polling site to cast…

Why “Lesser Evilism” Is a Loser

Against the Current September-October 2016, ATC 184 AGAINST THE CURRENT interviewed Jill Stein, the Green Party candidate for president in 2016 following its convention at the end of July. The Green Party vice-presidential candidate is Ajamu Baraka. Against the Current: How do you answer the question that the only thing that counts is beating Trump? Jill Stein: That’s the question we get every election. It’s the question we get most in this election. It’s what the Democrats said in 1964 about Goldwater. “Part of the way with LBJ.” Goldwater lost in a landslide but the Democrats escalated in Vietnam and…

on Robert Naiman’s attacks on Jill Stein (on behalf of Hillary Clinton)

To Robert Naiman, of JustForeignPolicy: Good to know what kind of person you really are — a disgusting, underhanded, partisan Democrat who will stoop to low levels to support the most aggressive pro-war candidate the Democrats have produced. How can you call yourself a peace activist? What are your ties to the Clinton campaign? Are they paying you to do this dirty work for them? Are you an insider given this information as part of the Clinton campaign’s effort to slander Jill Stein with falsehoods? Thank you for exposing the campaign against Stein by the Clinton team — we will…

Bernie broke my heart, but Dr. Jill Stein heals the wound

OpEd News By Jeanine Molloff July 15, 2016 My one-sided ‘lurid’ love affair with Bernie Sanders has come to a screeching halt. The political infatuation I had with Bernie that was strong enough to make me swear off George Clooney (pre-Amal); is now stored away with old tokens meant to curse former crushes, (including an ugly little voodoo doll bearing more than a striking resemblance to Trump); and all because he whole heartedly endorsed Hillary this week. Now I understand that Bernie told his followers the fight will go to the convention floor as a show of newly grown progressive…

What is Bernie Up To?

counterpunch by Dave Lindorff June 30, 2016 I sure don’t know, and I’m sure that Hillary Clinton and her campaign managers are wondering too. In today’s New York Times, the independent socialist Senator from Vermont published a hard-hitting opinion-page piece attacking presumptive Republican presidential nominee Donald Trump, but really targeting Democratic Party leaders, super delegates, and the Democrats’ presumptive nominee Clinton — though he carefully avoided naming her. Significantly, Sanders, in an article headlined “Democrats Have to Wake Up,” identified himself at the end of the article as “a candidate for the Democratic presidential nomination.” The message is clear: Sanders…
