Jill Stein, who famously ran in the 2016 presidential election, announced on Thursday that she is running for president yet again with a platform that includes guaranteeing the “right” to a living-wage job, housing, food, healthcare, education “and more.”
“Over 60 percent of us now say the bipartisan establishments failed us, and we need a party that serves the people. I’m Jill Stein, and I’m running for president to offer that choice for the people outside of the failed two party system,” she announced, promising to address “crushing inequality, endless war, and climate collapse.”
Democrats, she said, have “betrayed their promises for working people, youth, and the climate again and again, while Republicans don’t even make such promises in the first place,” she said, concluding that both parties are a “danger to our democracy,” listing off examples — “expanding censorship, criminalizing protests, throwing competitors off the ballot, suppressing debates, rigging their primaries.
Further, Stein believes the country can “use diplomacy and international law instead to end violence, occupation and apartheid.”
