10 Reasons Why I'm Voting For Jill Stein

[Anonymous]

#Election2016

1. She doesn't have a Super PAC

2. Supports overturning Citizens United

3. Doesn't support the Military-industrial complex

4. Opposes for-profit, private prisons

5. Isn't controlled by Wall Street and Special Interest

6. Supports Medicare for all

7. Supports legalizing Marijuana

8. Opposes drone warfare

9. Favors green energy over fossil fuels

10. I refuse to vote for the lesser of two evils

Mostly naive points of view. The first-world lifestyle you live in today is the result of the policies you appear to oppose. When all the benefits the US gives you are shoved up your ass from birth, you do not realize how precious they are. Only when you grow up in a shitty third world country would you ever realize what happens to societies with a weak military and rampant drug problems.

Voting for someone who has 0% probability of winning isn't quite making a statement of your stance. It's more like making a statement about your stupidity, because ultimately, nobody cares about the losers in the race, nor do they care about the people who voted for candidates that don't count.

In politics, there is no policy decision that will satisfy 100% of the population. It's simply impossible. Opposing a politician's policy position doesn't make them evil. It means they have a different solution that yours. Often, politicians and policy makers have a full range and depth of understanding of the issues, while the public only skim over the superficial details. Essentially, you (the public) are too stupid and don't even know what you don't know.

It's amusing to see the public all angry at rich businessmen, yet, most people strive to become wealthy themselves. Somehow thinking that if they reach a high level of wealth, they deserve it more than the people who have already achieved what they desire.

Love the Take. More people should be aware of third party candidates so we can start weeding out some of the corruption.

Its kinda funny and sad. That if people did what you are supposed to do with your vote, to vote for the one you want to be president, then neither Hillary nor Trump would win. Yet majority seem to think they should vote either of them still. Some even believe its a waste to vote anyone else... Its just ironic really. Cause of that mentality, which is all it is. A mentality, you are selecting either Trump or Hillary for president. When hardly anyone really want to vote for either, the fights are more about who is less bad.

I may be a libertarian who will be voting for Johnson, but I agree with 8 of your points here and support you. Let's stand up to the 2 parties and make them remember that they aren't the only ones around. Any 3rd party that gets ≥5% vote gets "major party" status (with automatic ballot-inclusion and taxpayer's money proportional to the votes received, starting at $10 million).

So, don't get intimidated. Don't compromise. (You're right:) Don't vote for the lesser of 2 evils. Let's make this vote revolutionary.

It all seems great until you get to the green energy scam. Maybe you should read up on United Nations "agenda 21". Maybe you should check out a website called "clomatedepot". This info will make your jaw drop! Any politician that pushes green energy (that doesn't work) is a genocidal globalist funded by some very powerful robber barons. Maybe she should be educating you an the virtues of clean coal energy and hydrogen energy. Jill Stein is a feel good globalist shill who really wants to see you dead!

[castratedwhiteguy]

I meant to say "climatedepot" not "clomatedepot". Spain and Portugal have already gone bankrupt because they got sucked into the green energy scam. The same thing will happen to us. What is it about the Solyndra scandal that you still don't understand?

[openthedoors]

I'm not voting for someone who's arrested. She broke the law and was arrested. Why should she be in office if she was arrested?

[myTake Owner]

So what she broke the law spray painting a bulldozer. it's nothing compared to all the laws Hillary broke. The only reason Jill got arrested and Hillary didn't is because Hillary has power and money.

[openthedoors]

I was kidding dude ofc Jill would be better then trump or hillary it's just a vote for her is a vote thrown away isn't it?

[myTake Owner]

That's what the corporate media want's people to think so they fall in line and vote for one of the establishment candidate. A vote for Jill Stein isn't a wasted vote if you actually agree with her. What is a wasted vote is voting for someone you hate cause you hate the other person more.

[castratedwhiteguy]

Vote for Trump! He's a real patriot!

[myTake Owner]

@castratedwhiteguy Real patriot? A real patriot pays taxes.

So you're essentially just splitting the vote if anything. Everything seems pretty decent apart from "Opposes drone warfare". They'll just stick to ac-130s, Jets Apaches, etc. I question even a tank crews ability to hear screaming, especially during a firefight.
Collateral damage is shitty, but it will happen regardless of drone strikes. Guerilla warfare and hiding among civilians as shields, is the real issue.

Actually she is right, Trumps words are less dangerous than Clinton's actions.

[Bananaman177]

She's right about Bernie too, he was never planning on actually running, from the start he was going to fold like a wet rag for Hillary. Even his wife didn't know, that's why he had rush over to shut her up at the Convention when she started questioning him about it in front of a hot microphone. Always remember to never forget! The Democratic and Republican parties both sold your votes to Hillary.

[TripleAce]

Most likely... most probably... just saying. It's wasting a vote though

So by not choosing a lessor of the two evils you risk choosing the most evil one

[myTake Owner]

At this point Clinton and Trump are equally evil, so one isn't more evil than the other.

[TripleAce]

Yea you might be right. Man usa has had some great presidents

Reagan
Washington
Lincoln
Jerfferson
Truman

[TripleAce]

What happened lol

Obama is pretty low on that list

[John_Doesnt]

Great, spoil your vote on a woman with 2% of the votes. Just like what happened in Maine where they "elected" a bigot because of a bunch of young people were split between a few points on a third party candidate. Just ruin the country again with your pathetic pipe dream.

[Wulfila]

Stein lost me with her slavery reparations platform.

[OlderAndWiser]

Based on your last quote, an evil candidate will be selected on November 8. Jill Stein has absolutely no chance of being elected. Your vote is a conscious decision to not participate in the real election.

[Anonymous]

Here's why I'm not going to vote for her. She has no strategy to make anything she wants to happen to even happen.

Jill Stein: "I'm going to fix America!"
Me: "Okay but how?"
Jill Stein: "By lowering our debt without impoverishing citizens."
Me: "Okay but how?"
Jill Stein": "By getting rid of corruption in our government"
Me:"Okay but HOW?"

She is saying a whole lot of stuff without talking about any kind of plan that would accomplish what she wants.

[JoyGirl]

Well done on your take. 👏
She sounds better than Trump and Hillary. 😏😅😂

[myTake Owner]

She is, she's the female version of Bernie Sanders.

[lime_rampljuset]

I really hope she wins. She is the only candidate who is supporting the Native Americans with their problem with the Dakota Access Pipeline which is being funded by corporations behind Trump and Clinton campaigns

[Paris13]

I am Not into the Pot, but I Bet you Dollar to Donuts She is more Like an Honest Abe than Crooked Clinton.
Good luck and Great question. xx

[Paris13]

*My Take xx

[Paris13]

Thank God @TripleAce is Voting for the one who is Trying to get rid of the shady government and this is Trump. xx

[Paris13]

Thanks for the Like. xx

[Jager66]

It's insanity that this election isn't a choice between Johnson and Stein instead of Trump and Hillary.

[Joshua2332]

Except she thinks that WiFi is a threat to our brains. Strong candidate lol Trump2016

[Saoirse_Nua]

Great points but Donald is just so much the greater of two evils that I have to support Hillary. I would normally support a Bernie or a Jill.

[castratedwhiteguy]

You fool! Another millennial burning down his own future. It's your choice, loser...

[Rissyanne]

Stein said in an interview... when ask what she would do with Snowden. She said she would put him in her cabinet. I think that is crazy. But I do agree with her on a couple of thing. Legalizing marijuana. Taxing it could pay for health care. I believe prisons should be self sufficient. And any profit they get... it goes back to the prison.

[TripleAce]

Whats wrong with bringing snowden back. He's a smart programmer?

[myTake Owner]

@TripleAce Can't handle the truth about all the shady the US government does.

[Rissyanne]

How do you feel now about her scamming people out of their money... for nothing.

[myTake Owner]

No different than Trump scamming people. Still don't see the wall Mexico is going to pay for.

[Rissyanne]

Dude the election is over. Stein is a has been. Scamming? My 401k and the $1000 bonus I’m getting doesn’t think so.

[TripleAce]

But the wall is actually going up lol

[myTake Owner]

@TripleAce With tax payers money and not Mexicos money like Trump promised. Trump scammed people with Trump University.

[TripleAce]

Ok there lol
thats what you do when you run for office. You make promises you hope to fulfill. Some you do and some fall short. Dude. Thats so obvious lol

getting a wall but mexico isn't paying lol
Damn the demands are pretty high aren't they lol. I think we all knew he will try but it might not happy 😛

[Rissyanne]

Obama didn’t make my 401k grow or get me a bonus. He just put in more debt and ruined healthcare

[ProbablyTooMature]

Reason 11... You want your vote to count for even less that it normally would.

[Zorax]

Well, if I were American, I'd probably vote for her too, i support the Green party in my country.
