Who passed Wall Street deregulation that enabled the meltdown of Wall Street and the disappearance of nine million jobs, the theft of 5 million homes?
Jill Stein
We really are, we represent, the core of basic American community values. And the name of the game is getting the word out, you know, and they are quaking in their boots, which, of course, is why they will not pass ranked choice voting.
Jill Stein
We know that from the studies, like the Gilens and Page study out of Northwestern and Princeton, if you didn't know it from real life. We're not moving forward, we're moving backwards, and the clock is ticking on this, whether you look at climate or the expanding wars.
Jill Stein
The laws of war right now say that we can respond when our country is threatened. That is what international law says.

Jill Stein
Maybe Bernie [Sanders] lost his perspective because he became a part of the Washington culture. Maybe it's a generational thing.
Jill Stein
They have to earn our vote. Neither Hillary [Clinton] or Donald [Trump] have earned our votes, yet the media is kind of closing ranks around them to try to prevent before people find out that there is actually - you know, that we actually have other choices. We are not limited to two corporate candidates.
Jill Stein
I just want to note that 43 million young people in debt is enough to win a three-way Presidential race.
Jill Stein
While she [Hillary Clinton] promotes fracking and established an office as secretary of State to promote fracking around the world. The cutting edge science now suggests fracking is every bit as bad as coal.
Jill Stein
We call for cancelling student debt, for bailing out young people like Wall Street was bailed out to the tune of $16 trillion.
Jill Stein
We don't have to convince people how screwed they are.
Jill Stein
I think, for one, the LGBTQ community is just a paragon of leadership, of standing up and saying these are our rights, and we deserve them. As a model of activism, it's so wonderful what the community has been able to achieve towards goals like marriage equality.
Jill Stein
For ISIS, the answer is to cut off their food, their water, their armaments, you know, and their funding. I don't mean literally their food and water. What I mean is cutting off their life support system.
Jill Stein
To actually unleash an entire generation to do what they've already been trained to do. They've done the work, they have the degrees, they have the passion, but they're working two or three part-time low-wage, temporary jobs just to keep a roof over their heads.
Jill Stein
We could solve this problem of a divided vote, or an unintended consequence of your vote, to a voting system which uses your name, where I am right now, they've got it on the ballot for a statewide referendum which enables people to.
Jill Stein
We have not been successful in deterring the growth or expansion of any terrorist group that we've been fighting.
