More quotes by Jill Stein

Image
[Hillart Clinton] holds the illusion that we can make fossil fuel safe, and that they are safe, and she established an office for fracking. We know who she's taking the money from. We know who the Democratic Party is taking the money from.
Jill Stein
Image
This administration [of Barack Obama] has massively expanded fossil fuel extraction. So while they give lip service to it, they actually do not walk the walk that we need to walk if we are going to get out of here alive.
Jill Stein
Image
Hillary [Clinton] is - you know, she's every bit as much scary on war as Donald Trump is.
Jill Stein
Image
The politics of fear has delivered everything we were afraid of. It's important to take a lesson from the days of Richard Nixon, when people stood up under a very oppressive president with a very oppressive Supreme Court.
Jill Stein
Image
That was like the moment of revelation for me that in fact we are not the lunatic fringe.
Jill Stein
Image
This is sort of the Cuban Missile Crisis on steroids, what we are doing to Russia right now, and I don't think this is a good idea.
Jill Stein
Image
We call for a weapons embargo.
Jill Stein
Image
Even heads of our own security agency said, you know, we need to take a deep breath on this. This really doesn't seem to be happening [that Russians are trying to influence American domestic politics ].

The economic insecurity of the past ten to 15 years, the 2008 Wall Street crash, NAFTA, and the loss of millions of good jobs - these directly grow out of Democratic Party neo-liberal policies.
Jill Stein
Image
You do not give preferred deals and dole out favors, lucrative favors, and government partnerships and weapons deals to your clients.
Jill Stein
Image
We call for a new kind of offensive in the Middle East because our current approach has a track record and it's not a good one.
Jill Stein
Image
It takes truth, and it takes speaking truth to power, but because the stranglehold is so tight it seems to take something else - a real political threat.
Jill Stein
Image
They [Democrats and Republicans] agree with each other on either doing nothing or giving lip service to climate change and the really transformative changes that need to happen.
Jill Stein
Image
Even the majority of their own voters do not support them. It's something like 25 percent of [Donald] Trump supporters that actually support him. The majority actually hates Hillary [Clinton], and the same is true for Hillary. One-third of her supporters really like her. They dislike fear and hate Donald Trump. What's wrong with this picture?
Jill Stein
Image
Today, suddenly, after, what, five years, suddenly he [Donald Trump] became convinced that it's not an issue. Yesterday it was an issue. It will probably become an issue again for him. You know, the guy may have a memory problem.
Jill Stein
Image
I was really interested in how a health care center could also be a center for the arts and for music, and for bringing together sort of the isolated elements of the community.
Jill Stein
Image
The specific trigger for me was when the President [Barack Obama] put Medicare and Social Security on the chopping block. Why I got into the race - it just seemed unconscionable that the Democrats were leading the charge.

Ajamu Baraka comes out of the tradition of the African-American intellectuals, the people who really been standing up for African-American rights and economic rights and workers rights.
Jill Stein
Image
We will not really address our foreign policy and these endless wars that show no end in sight and seem to be getting deeper and broader and more catastrophic with each passing day.

Is such an alliance helpful to us in this day and age? Are we creating a cold war in order to justify NATO?
