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.

To my mind, to say that says to young people and you probably are not going to get out of debt, and you probably do not have a climate that's going to be here come 2050. And, in my view, the point is not necessarily to win now but it's to begin building our power.
