More quotes by Jill Stein

Jill Stein
It's this mingling of the economic and political elite which is really destroying our democracy.
Jill Stein
It takes truth, and it takes speaking truth to power, but because the stranglehold is so tight it seems to take something else - a real political threat.

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
This is very dangerous for us, as a society, and I think people deserve a politics of integrity that is not bought and paid for by big banks, fossil fuel giants, war profiteers, insurance companies, the things that those two corporate parties both represent and which pull the strings inside the party.

It's really quite astounding to see what the science says we can actually do.
Jill Stein
Bernie [Sanders], the team player, he made it known from the very start that he would be supporting the Democratic nominee, presumably Hillary Clinton, and what we learned in the course of Bernie's campaign is that you cannot have a revolutionary campaign in a counter-revolutionary party.
Jill Stein
At a time of great social upheaval, all things are possible.
Jill Stein
Yet we have a voting system that forbids us from actually bringing our values into our vote, which is, in my view, quite a disaster.
Jill Stein
There is no such thing as a survivable or local nuclear war.
Jill Stein
Big Money politicians do not have a new form of entitlement. They do not own our votes.
Jill Stein
We call for a bailout for an entire generation that is basically held hostage by unpayable student-loan debt.
Jill Stein
I came from a very comfortable, middle-class family living in Highland Park, Illinois.Really growing up in a Jewish community with a fabulous public school.
Jill Stein
I was really interested in how a health care center could also be a center for the arts and for music, and for bringing together sort of the isolated elements of the community.
Jill Stein
We call for cancelling student debt, for bailing out young people like Wall Street was bailed out to the tune of $16 trillion.
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.
