More quotes by Jill Stein
I'm very careful not to isolate Israel on this but to make this part of a transformed foreign policy where we apply the same standards across the board. So it's not just Israel. It's also Saudi Arabia, it's also Egypt. It's where there are massive and systemic violations of human rights and international law.
Jill Stein
We call for a bailout for an entire generation that is basically held hostage by unpayable student-loan debt.
Jill Stein
We need to really use the full force of diplomacy. And we need to be seen and understood to be on the side of diplomacy and international law.
Jill Stein
[Hillary Clinton'] transition director being Ken Salazar, I think, indicates that she will continue to be a friend to fracking. It's not possible to solve the climate crisis while we continue to expand fracking.
Jill Stein
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
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
Who knows what it is, but he [Donald Trump] is incapable of having a consistent thought or policy.
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
I have the unique liberty as part of the Green Party that operates on the same terms. We have the ability to actually speak for everyday Americans. We are not controlled by major donors, by the influence of big banks, by fossil fuel giants, by war profiteers or insurance companies.
Jill Stein
You cannot solve the climate crisis if you are putting people out of work.
Jill Stein
If pigs could fly, yes, of course I would vote for the Democratic Party, but pigs don't fly.
Jill Stein
We need to have real science, and real science doesn't happen under the hand of lobbyists with a conflict of interest. So get the revolving door done and over with and get the big money out of politics.
Jill Stein
We don't supply a hundred billion dollars worth of weapons to the war criminals in Saudi Arabia nor do we supply eight million dollars a day to the Israeli army that is also violating international law and human rights.
Jill Stein
She [Hillary Clinton] and Bill [Clinton] supported the NAFTA, the adoption of NAFTA that sent our jobs overseas, and they both supported Wall Street deregulation, which laid the groundwork for the disappearance of 9 million jobs and the theft of 5 million homes.
Jill Stein
This is in a nutshell, this is what's wrong with our media, and we see that really played out full in this election [2016], where this is undoubtedly the most toxic election that we've had in - certainly in my lifetime.
Jill Stein
We call for a weapons embargo.
Jill Stein
I'm sorry. If you're working as secretary of state, you do not have time to be spending half of your volume of emails on your own private stuff, whether it's a nonprofit private business or whether it is a for-profit private business. You should not be doing that on company time.
Jill Stein
We saw recently that Donald Trump has gotten now over $4 billion in free media exposure, Hillary Clinton over $2 billion, and of course I've had almost none.
Jill Stein
I think, charitable foundations are, in general, a good thing.
Jill Stein
In my experience what I'm hearing from people now is that they're just desperate to hear about something else.
