Dr. Jill Stein, Presidential Candidate for the Green Party

[SirReginald]

And yet the more idiotic Sanders Stans are saying they will vote for Trump in November.

She'll never win though. Like I said in a post before, she should have ran as a Democrat (using her platform) and competed with Hilary.

I was looking her up the other day. Might get my vote in November

So you just want to vote for the candidate you think is going to win and that's why you are going to vote for Trump?
Do you even agree with anything Bernie Sanders stands for or are you just in it to be anti-Clinton? Because if your political philosophy aligns with Bernie Sanders and you don't want to vote for Hillary in November the candidate that Bernie is closest to politically is Stein.

She's more progressive.

I agree with his policies. However, she doesn't have a chance because NOT ONE mainstream network covered her.

2. you can not vote at all(yes, this is an option and is your right. dont listen to anyone talking that you better exercise your right. you are. )
3.vote for another candidate(write in or green party if you will)

RT: Why didn’t you do the same as Sanders and Trump did and join either the Democrats or Republicans. You obviously proved your success and potential in 2012, so why did you not take the presidency route more seriously?

JS: Yes, throughout US history third parties have had a critical influence on the agenda. For example, the New Deal at the time of the Great Depression; social security; workers’ rights and union rights – those all came up through third parties. But in addition, a third party actually won the presidential race at a time of great social upheaval, at the time of the Civil War. When Abraham Lincoln was elected, the Republican Party was an independent third party at that time. So it is not impossible for that to happen in this system.

Yet, what is impossible is for a truly transformative change to happen inside a political party - like the Democratic Party, which is controlled by the Wall Street banks and the fossil fuel giants and the war profiteers. The party has systematically taken down the candidates who actually have integrity, like Bernie Sanders does. He is being marginalized now by the Democratic Party machine, by all the incumbents that they had come out and campaigned for Hillary Clinton, for more of the same, for the big funders, and she is getting lots of that big funding. He will be taken down.

[Sanders] has already said he is going to work for Hilary Clinton. So to my mind that says that you cannot really work for change inside the Democratic Party, because you can’t build. You can only build for as long as you raise, and once you have been marginalized and knocked out of contention, your resources and all the hard work that has been done in a reformist campaign gets absorbed right back into that counter-revolutionary party. And you disappeared, your movement disappeared; you cannot build because you can’t truly identify the enemy. The enemy is not just the billionaires – it is the political parties who are basically working hand in glove for the billionaires.
