More quotes by Jill Stein
I don't use those terms [like Uncle Tom], and I would never speak in that kind of language.
Jill Stein
Who benefits from Wi-Fi? We all benefit from Wi-Fi. Is there an industry here? Of course, there is an industry, as well. The point is public health needs protecting.

Neoliberalism, arguably, sets the course for this kind for this kind of neo-extremism, this right-wing extremism that we are facing. The only way we solve that crisis, the rise of the right-wing extreme, is by truly progressive policies that address this crisis of economic security. That will not come from the lesser evil.

Jill Stein
The climate is not tomorrow. The climate is a year off or maybe 10 years off. So we have to be really clear that we're solving the crisis of economic insecurity at the same time.

Jill Stein
They [Democrats] are not just going up, they are accelerating on their way up.
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
In the words of Frederick Douglas, power concedes nothing without a demand it never has and it never will. We must be that demand. We are the ones we've been waiting for.
Jill Stein
Hillary Clinton and Donald Trump are the most disliked and untrusted candidates for president in American history.
Jill Stein
There is no question that many people are intimidated and scared. However, the majority of voters are clamoring for something else. So if word gets out that there actually is a candidate out there of integrity, who is not poisoned by corporate money, you could see a lot of people come together from across the political spectrum.
Jill Stein
By needlessly provoking him [Vladimir Putin] and humiliating him, we empower far worse possibilities in Russia.
Jill Stein
We call for a bailout for an entire generation that is basically held hostage by unpayable student-loan debt.
Jill Stein
Remember, Bernie [Sanders] was the guy. He was the one guy that could win this, and head-to-head he could go against [Donald] Trump and win.
Jill Stein

Jill Stein
