More quotes by Jill Stein
I think it would be a disaster if Donald Trump is elected. It will also be a disaster if Hillary Clinton is elected.
Jill Stein
In other words, speaking truth as a social movement may move you forward in some ways, but to really lock in and have real enduring change, it takes both a movement on the ground and an independent political party that is itself the defiance of that two-party corporate big-money control of politics.
Jill Stein
Right now we have a bipartisan debate commission, when most Americans are not members of the bipartisan establishment.
Jill Stein
Most progressive in the Democratic Party doesn't cut it, you know. If we still can't have a health care system that provides health care as a human right, if we still cannot, you know, ban fracking and fossil fuels and move like our lives depend on it - you know, we say in the next 15 years we need to phase out fossil fuels.
Jill Stein
If you're working as secretary of state but half of your emails are about your own private business, since when is secretary of state such a leisurely job that half of your time and half of your email are spent on your own private business? There's something really wrong with that picture.
Jill Stein
I think public health is kind of in a very sad state of affairs here in this country.
Jill Stein
We ended the war in Vietnam, and brought the troops home.
Jill Stein
We were out there with the people whose homes were flooded out in Southern Louisiana. We are out there on the front line with everyday people fighting the real frontline battle that real Americans are fighting.
Jill Stein
That is enough to win a three-way presidential race. If young people understand they have the numbers and they have the power to come out and turn this election on its head.
Jill Stein
I would apply international law and I think we need to be a force for international law.
Jill Stein
We've got a lot of down-ballot candidates that are also being lifted up by this campaign [for Presidency in 2016]. If we don't take a stand at some point and begin to stand our ground, we are never going to begin to move forward. We've got to do that.
Jill Stein
We deserve elections we can trust.
Jill Stein
That was like the moment of revelation for me that in fact we are not the lunatic fringe.
Jill Stein
Hillary Clinton and Donald Trump are the most disliked and untrusted candidates for president in American history.
Jill Stein
You have the Republican establishment that is moving into Hillary's [Clinton] camp. What's happening in this election is sort of proof of principle.
Jill Stein
You know, terrorism in Afghanistan had everything to do with the support for the mujahidin by Saudi Arabia and by the CIA that sought to create an international religious extremist group to fight the Soviet Union.
Jill Stein
My support is particularly Bernie Sanders supporters but that's drawn many [Donald] Trump supporters to start with.
Jill Stein
I'm a medical doctor by training. I'm a physician, not a politician. And I'm in this as a mother on fire. You could say, very concerned about our younger generation that does not have the jobs they need to get themselves out of the debt that they're in. And have the full weight of the climate crisis exploding on them - on their watch.
Jill Stein
The way that you address this right-wing extremism is actually by putting forward a truly progressive agenda. That's the only solution here.
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.
