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.

We need a broad commitment to human rights across the board. We cannot attain that simply by protecting one oppressed group or the other.
Jill Stein

I think we have a very critical role to play, within the spectrum of international law and human rights.

Hillary Clinton and the policies of Hillary and Bill - passed by Bill, but enthusiastically supported and promoted by Hillary - have really created this right-wing extremism that has produced Donald Trump.
