More quotes by 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
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.
Jill Stein
By needlessly provoking him [Vladimir Putin] and humiliating him, we empower far worse possibilities in Russia.

To millennials, the Democratic Party is the party of endless debt, it is the party of low-wage jobs, it is the part of the Trans-Pacific Partnership, it is the party of the KXL pipeline, which was only stopped because, you know, because we, the voters, you know, just worked our bones - you know, worked ourselves to the bone in order to stop it.

The policies that Hillary [Clinton] advocates are going to be more of the same, whether you're looking at her cozy relationships with the banks, her refusal to support Glass-Steagall, her vagueness about what actually she's going to do about the control of the big banks.
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
Which is a real heads-up about what Hillary's [Clinton] agenda is. We've seen Hillary flip-flop, but she's had a pretty consistent track record. Which is that she has been a very good friend to the banks, received enormous support from them.
Jill Stein
I think we have a very critical role to play, within the spectrum of international law and human rights.
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

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
Democracy needs a moral compass.
Jill Stein
That's in part what the Green New Deal is designed to do. So it's not only to address the climate emergency, but also to address the economic emergency, because the recovery has really gone to the top.
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
The politics of fear has brought us everything we are afraid of, including the endless wars, the collapsing economy - all the rest.
Jill Stein
They [Democrats] are not just going up, they are accelerating on their way up.
Jill Stein
There are very complicated issues here [about NATO], and I don't want to give them short shrift.
