American politician and physician (born 1950).
In August 2011, Stein gave indication that she was considering running for President of the United States with the Green Party in the 2012 national election. She indicated in a published questionnaire that she had been asked to run by a number of Green activists and felt compelled to consider the possibility after the U.S. debt-ceiling crisis which she called "the President’s astounding attack on Social Security, Medicare and Medicaid – a betrayal of the public interest...". In the survey, she suggested that she would announce her intentions by the end of September 201…

She's great! Just nervous that if I don't vote dem, republicans will end up in office. I wish our party system wasn't so trash.
Love her <3
All for basic human rights & the environment. She's a physician too! She understands the healthcare system more than most.
I wish I could be confident more of us would vote third party, it's tough how much of a struggle it is to have your voice heard under this system.
@9JVY7F62yrs2Y
I've been looking up a lot of information about the poor aspects of our voting system. It's so broken right now that even though a big majority of our population aligned with third party candidates, they fear hopelessness for the candidate they must align with. Break from the mold! Vote for who you want to.

This is not the answer. No matter how much I would love to live and vote in a system that can support more than two parties, we first have to change the way we count and allocate our votes. This is a project I'm more than happy to fully support for three years at a time but in an election year we need to vote within the system we have not the one we wish we had.

Duverger's Law + Intent
This is exactly what will happen. Her team even knows it. Her only purpose on the ballot is to pull votes from Kamala at this point. As much as I used to love and respect her, I've lost it all now. She is literally campaigning for Trump at this point. Even if it wasn't her explicit intent, any vote that isn't blue is red until we change the way we count our votes.
@9S4FVNF1yr1Y
She has so much connecting her to Russia. She has tons of pictures with Russian officials like Putin. She also changes her policies every 4 years just to appeal to what people like. She has also never won an election. She is supported by Russian Twitter Bots as an attempt to shift votes away from the Democratic Party. I urge you not to vote for her and vote blue instead. Not exactly the same but closer than getting red.
@9T6KD2C1yr1Y
The Senate Intelligence Committee investigated the charge that Jill Stein has "Russian connections" for three years, and found no evidence to support the claim. There is one picture, not "tons of pictures," showing her sitting at the same table with Putin at a gathering of public figures from all over the world. Putin sat there for five minutes before he got up to make a speech welcoming the crowd. He and Dr. Stein did not converse, since she speaks no Russian and he speaks no English. When she had a brief meeting with him later in her one and only trip to Moscow, she urge… Read more

5% of the National Vote
I generally always vote for the third party most likely to get 5% of the national presidential vote (for the purposes of ballot access). For 2020, that was Jo Jorgensen of the Libertarian Party. For 2024, I think that will be Jill Stein. If you live in a solid blue or red state, vote Jill Stein!!!
