I choose to go with People, Planet and Peace. #VoteGreen for jillstein2024.com Dr. Stein would put an end to the MIC and the endless wars that are murdering millions and destroying our environment.

To be fair, if Jill Stein were to become president today, she'd find herself unable to accomplish anything, blocked at every stage by people in an out of government.

Of course she would. The empire just wouldn’t allow it.

Reality is she can't win. Why doesn't she win some lower offices and work her way up gaining support?

Maybe. But it would probably not be only her making the decisions. I have seen people who had great ideas get railroaded into doing what the moneygrubbers want. What is the MIC?

The Military-Industrial Complex. US Greens do not take any corporate money or PAC money (Political Action Committees--groups of rich people/corporations' money). Dr. Stein has spoken at length about shutting down the war machine/MIC, disarming the nuclear arsenal, and putting our tax dollars to use in building up the people, not trying to explode the planet.

I don't live in the US. I would vote for her if I did, but I still am not sure that one person or even one party can really change things all that drastically. We need another system. One that can escape the threats and intimidation of AIPAC and other money grubbers.

You're right. We need a Revolution. I see wiping the duopolists (Democrats and Republicans) off the map as a much needed first step. Take the money out of politics in the US and regulate the billionaires and tax them until their pips squeak goes along with that first step, too.

What sort of a revolution is it that would leave the Rothschilds in control of the global money supply? They and their usurious money system are most definitively the fundamental problem.

What the central banking model boils down to is theft and usury and institutionalized corruption. Of course, most of what we decry is institutionalized corruption of one sort or another.

When I lived and worked in Denmark a long time ago, a huge part of my salary went to taxes. But dental, medical, daycare and more were paid for. They had a system of taxation where the more money you earned, the more your taxes went up until it didn't make sense to earn any more money because most of it would be taxed. There is a name for that system, but I can't remember it. Unfortunately, I think they may have changed that system. Denmark has been sadly influenced by the US. I realized that the shit had hit the fan a long time back when I saw cops beating up protesters at a gathering of politicians regarding the climate. When I lived there, I got kicked out of a park for picking the flowers. I was also drinking wine, but that was not the problem. It was picking the flowers that really got him riled up.

ALAS, YOU CAN'T TAKE THE MONEY OUT OF POLITICS. ANYMORE THAN YOU CAN TAKE IT OUT OF THE SUPPLY OF FOOD -- OR ANYTHING ELSE!

Hi TRC

Jill Stein’s had my vote all along. It’s a matter of conscience.
