Real Progressives Vote Jill Stein

[Disir]

Mortimer: Aunt Abby, how can I believe you? There are twelve bodies in the cellar and you admit you poisoned them.
Abby: Yes, I did. But you don't think I'd stoop to telling a fib.

I understood what you were referring to. It would be pretty stupid to do something like that when they'd be "taste testing" the meals and poor tasting meals would end up getting them "fired".

heh.

 

[TheGreatGatsby]

This looks like a desperate thread started by a Trump supporter

That's exactly what it is .. by someone who probably wouldn't vote for Stein if his life depended on it. A RWer telling progressives what they must do.

Republicans .. win by gimmick.

It's laughable and won't work.

Sounds like you'd (and your ilk) would much rather do ad hom than compare Hillary's lack of progressive policies to Jill Stein's truly progressive platform.

 

[TheGreatGatsby]

Shes defiantly a control freak of the worst type....

A control freak? Stein put fort a straightforward plan that is based upon collaboration. It is Hillary who has a record of corruption and oppression.

 

[TheGreatGatsby]

Jill Stein is a real progressive and not a DINO who will perpetuate a Republican agenda as defined by various Marxists on this board.

The real progressive, this is a partial listing of Jill Stein's 2016 platform:

* Enact a Green New Deal and create 20 millions jobs by transitioning to 100% clean renewable energy.

* In her Just Transition program, communities will move towards more green energy. Displaced fossil fuel workers will receive full income and benefits as they transition to alternative employment.

* Treat energy as a human right.

* Redirect research funds from fossil fuels to energy and conservation.

* End destructive energy extraction such as fracking, off shore drilling and pipelines.

* Protect pollinators

* Ban neonicotioids and other harmful pesticides that threaten the survival of bees and butterflies.

* Support an acceptable global climate and impart funds to that end to developing countries.

* Invest in clean air, water, food, and soil for everyone.

* Enact stronger environmental justice laws which will help low=income communities currently disproportionately affected.

* Conversion to zero waste processes.

* Enforceable rights to work for government as last resort.

* Workers earning fair shares.

* Grants and low interest loans to green companies.

* REPLACE NAFTA and other corporate agreements that export American jobs.

* Effective anti poverty programs that restore dignity and guarantee economic human rights such as housing, water and utilities.

* Healthcare: NO COPAYS, PREMIUMS, OR DEDUCTIBLES. (You pay for the treatment you receive and only the treatment you receive).

* Women's right to morning after pills.

* "ELIMINATE THE CANCER OF HEALTH INSURANCE"

* Tuition free education from K-University.

* Eliminate the authoritarian common core and put education back into the hands of communities.

* Recognize poverty as a key obstacle to learning.

* $15 minimum federal wage.

* Make corporations pay their fair share.

* Take action against wage theft.

* LGBTQIA+ protections.

* Demilitarize border crossings.

* Halt deportations of law abiding undocumented immigrants.

* Protect free internet; opposing the online piracy act and all other legislation that undermines freedom and equality.

* Abolish the death penalty.

* REPEAL THE PATRIOT ACT.

* End US role as world's arms supplier.

* Cut military spending by at least 50 percent.

* ELIMINATE THE DOCTRINE OF CORPORATE PERSONHOOD

* Increase funding for public housing.

Some great ideas and some really goofy ones

Although, these are far from my libertarian principles, I at least see this as a truly pure form of socialism that is based upon honor and dignity. What Hillary and Dems offer is corporate marxism that robs the middle class to enrich her cronies.

 

[TheGreatGatsby]

Obama had plenty of experience in government and understnads leadership. Jill Stein, not so much.

There is no lie that marxists won't tell. As it is, the green party platform has been no secret. Jill's not full of ploys. She won't say one thing and work towards another. The people deserve honor in the people's house regardless of whether they agree with the platform or not.

 

[TheGreatGatsby]

She's a bit too far Left for me, but she does have some good ideas. I can't do the whole 'Green' thing. But if you're a real Progressive, you'd have to support her over Clinton.

Good luck with your odd effort to get Democrats to vote for Stein, this thread is the very definition of Trump desperation.

If I were you I'd be more worried about the GOP leaking votes to Johnson, that's a realistic outcome that could effect the election.

 

[HappyJoy]

Compared to warmongering crook and liar Hillary, Stein is a saint.

Stein and Johnson both look like saints compared to any president we've ever had. There has been zero vetting done because nobody in any great numbers cares about either one of them.

I'll put it in analogy form for ya. I've chosen to go to eat at a three star restaurant (the best option available). Though, my first choice was five star, obviously. But if we're gonna eat Mexican, then give me a nice sit down place over a taco stand that serves rat meat in their tacos. That is the contrast between Hillary and Stein. If people like you are ultimately going to force me to confront that reality, then so be it.

“My Power to the People Plan creates deep system change, moving from the greed and exploitation of corporate capitalism to a human-centered economy that puts people, planet and peace over profit.

It offers direct answers to the economic, social, and ecological crises brought on by both corporate political parties. And it empowers the American people to fix our broken political system and make real the promise of democracy.

This plan will end unemployment and poverty; avert climate catastrophe; build a sustainable, just economy; and recognize the dignity and human rights of everyone in our society and our world. The power to create this new world is not in our hopes, it’s not in our dreams - it’s in our hands.”

Key points of the Power to the People Plan:
A Green New Deal:
Create millions of jobs by transitioning to 100% clean renewable energy by 2030, and investing in public transit, sustainable agriculture, and conservation.

Jobs as a Right:
Create living-wage jobs for every American who needs work, replacing unemployment offices with employment offices. Advance workers rights to form unions, achieve workplace democracy, and keep a fair share of the wealth they create.

End Poverty:
Guarantee economic human rights, including access to food, water, housing, and utilities, with effective anti-poverty programs to ensure every American a life of dignity.

Health Care as a Right:
Establish an improved “Medicare For All” single-payer public health insurance program to provide everyone with quality health care, at huge savings.

Education as a Right:
Abolish student debt to free a generation of Americans from debt servitude. Guarantee tuition-free, world-class public education from pre-school through university. End high stakes testing and public school privatization.

A Just Economy:
Set a $15/hour federal minimum wage. Break up “too-big-to-fail” banks and democratize the Federal Reserve. Reject gentrification as a model of economic development. Support development of worker and community cooperatives and small businesses. Make Wall Street, big corporations, and the rich pay their fair share of taxes. Create democratically run public banks and utilities. Replace corporate trade agreements with fair trade agreements.

Protect Mother Earth:
Lead on a global treaty to halt climate change. End destructive energy extraction: fracking, tar sands, offshore drilling, oil trains, mountaintop removal, and uranium mines. Protect our public lands, water supplies, biological diversity, parks, and pollinators. Label GMOs, and put a moratorium on GMOs and pesticides until they are proven safe. Protect the rights of future generations.

Racial Justice Now:
End police brutality and mass incarceration. Create a Truth and Reconciliation Commission to understand and eliminate the legacy of slavery that lives on as pervasive racism in the economy, education, housing and health. Ensure that communities control their police rather than police controlling our communities, by establishing police review boards and full time investigators to look in to all cases of death in police custody. Demilitarize the police.

Freedom and Equality:
Expand women’s rights, protect LGBTQIA+ people from discrimination, defend indigenous rights and lands, and create a welcoming path to citizenship for immigrants. Protect the free Internet, legalize marijuana/hemp, and treat substance abuse as a public health problem, not a criminal problem.

Justice for All:
Restore our Constitutional rights, terminate unconstitutional surveillance and unwarranted spying, end persecution of government and media whistleblowers, close Guantanamo, abolish secret kill lists, and repeal indefinite detention without charge or trial.

Peace and Human Rights:
Establish a foreign policy based on diplomacy, international law, and human rights. End the wars and drone attacks, cut military spending by at least 50% and close the 700+ foreign military bases that are turning our republic into a bankrupt empire. Stop U.S. support and arms sales to human rights abusers, and lead on global nuclear disarmament.

Empower the People:
Abolish corporate personhood. Protect voters’ rights by establishing a constitutional right to vote. Enact electoral reforms that break the big money stranglehold and create truly representative democracy: public campaign financing, ranked-choice voting, proportional representation, and open debates.

Vetting is a phony establishment buzz word.

We know who the candidates are and what they're about.

Green Party Convention Cornel West Interview

Debbie from the Sane Progressive interview Cornel West at the green party convention in Dallas Texas. I really like Cornel's point about us having two of the most progressive candidates of our time. Keep sharing and getting Jill's polling to 15%

If you consider yourself a Progressive, you have to support Stein over Clinton. Clinton can never be trusted. She'll sell out at the drop of a hat.

Jill Stein is a doctor...I suspect she knows all about slow-acting poisons and/or binary poisons. Failing that...amanita phalloides is common enough.

You claim to be a Republican, but you troll like all the other usmb libtards.

But sticking to the tenets of the thread, Hillary is not a progressive. She's a corporatist who hops onto select progressive trends for her benefit. She is not out on front on progressive causes.

 

[rdean]

If you're gonna be with any "her" this election season, the choice is obvious:

Oh God no. No "revolutions" They always seem to turn out bad. See Russia, Cuba and China.

I'm a Green .. they aren't a real political party.

Can't build a party from the top-down.
