Dr. Jill Stein: Being in a Bernie Sanders Administration “Could Be Discussed”

I have been a supporter of Dr stein for president in the past, this year I have been torn between Sanders or Dr Stein getting my vote for president. Honestly living in a red state I feel my vote for a Dem does nothing, a vote third party promotes having a third party in US politics.

I have hope that Dr Stein will become Sen. Sanders choice for VP, I feel a choice of a moderate may result in an ending like JFK had.

It would be nice to see a left side to politics, that was not owned by global corporations of Wall Street!

We asked Dr. Jill Stein in our interview with her, if she was open to becoming Bernie Sanders’ Vice President ;

Would I accept a place in a Sanders administration? Well, you know, there are Greens who work in the EU in other administrations – that happens all the time. And that [being part of a Bernie Sanders cabinet] is certainly something that could be discussed.

Regardless of her eventual political connection with Bernie Sanders – whether it results in her unifying and mobilizing his voters behind her if he was to lose, or her being part of his cabinet if he was to win – Jill Stein is a name every progressive and political enthusiast needs to take note of. She has run a Presidential election already, she is excited about her campaign and she is ready to spark a revolution.

Good news!

Feel the Bern- Wall Street is!

In the past, several of those political ideology tests had me lined up with Jill Stein... I would love to see her as his VP pick!

A picture is worth a thousand words!

That would be amazing... wasn't expecting to read anything like this today

It surprised me, dreams just might come true!


Like I said I'd love to see Dr Stein as VP...



...but head of the DOE would be amazing too!

Here ya go , straight off the website:

1)Obama stimulus was ok, but only made slight dent in crisis. - Ok , bank bailout to support the cartels
2)Stimulus plan was not big enough.- What , not enough money shoveled to the big banks?
3)It's un-American that top 1% own 90% of wealth - It is precisely American because we live in a controlled Republic and not a socialist/communist style of government
4)Break up "too-big-to-fail" banks. _ then why state the first 2 ?
5)Record profits-with politicians' help--caused the recession.- Uh no , the predatory lending in the housing market did
6)1776 Revolution threw off corporate rule; it's creeping back. - Negative. The Revolution threw off the Central Bank's rule.(you know , taxation without representation)
7)Immediate halt in all new fossil fuel exploration. - Then WTF will we use for energy then ? Snot from our noses?
8) Completely zero out climate emissions, as fast as possible.- Lets go back to the Neanderthal days...yeah
9) Weatherizing homes creates jobs & addresses climate change. Why state this? If you go with the above 2 doesnt matter . We have nothing to heat with. Even candles emit hydrocarbons.
10)National ban on fracking; natural gas is not clean. That part is just laughable.Must be in there for comical relief.
11) Let states prevent nuclear power plants.- Damn what kinda energy resource is left ? (clean that is) See 8 above
12) World War II-scale mobilization to reduce carbon burden.- Yeah lets mobilize the military to overtake those countries using carbon emitting energy. Oh wait , thats ALL OF EM
13) Nuclear energy is dirty, dangerous and expensive. This lady has NO CLUE WHATSOEVER
14) Logging wood for electricity is neither clean nor green. _wait , what ? we cant even have fireplaces or campfires ?
15)$200M for 50,000 green jobs: address both supply demand.What green jobs ? Cleaning the sewer systems ?
16) Undocumented immigrants are critical component of economy. - And against Federal Laws
17)Guaranteed jobs for all who need work -Hmm a dreamer . And what about those that dont want to work living off my dollar ?
18) Green New Deal: emergency program for 25M jobs.Dream on. Another Obama style give to green companies that will only throw it down the toilet and go bankrupt.
19) Raised Jewish; married to a Protestant atheist.- How the HADES are you a Protestant atheist ??????

Seriously , I agree with the most part of her stances. But they are all talking points every single candidate has stated for a long time now.

Jill Stein on the issues

I feel the same Alaskan Dad. great minds think alike :-)

Corporate Politicians that are owned ,are allowed to use these talking points, but putting these policies into play would bring the wrath of their masters upon them.

It's time, we the people own our representatives!

Feel the Bern- Wall Street is!

a reply to: AlaskanDad

Actually that probably would be better, or in the EPA... which could definitely use some corruption busting.

a reply to: AlaskanDad

Hmmm, I'll keep my eye on this. I'm not sure if she'd be better as a VP or a core member in his Cabinet. Her & O'Malley could make solid members of a Bernie administration. I want him to have a Cabinet that represents the entire spectrum of the left.

Hmm, on 2nd thought, she could definitely be a good VP. Just need to make sure she doesn't have any real dirt on her that people can use against her in the general election. Here's a 1 hour long Young Turks interview with her, so people can get a better perspective on her.

Sanders I kind of understand and find most ideas in the ballpark . The Dr.Stein , not so much. Reread my post (especially my comments tacked on after each line) .

TL;DR wall of text is depressing

a reply to: enlightenedservant

While it raises many questions, it's nice to know there are possibilities of the two working together in the future.

a reply to: Gothmog

How did you go logging wood for electricity to mean campfires and fireplaces?

*scratching head*

That's not even in the same universe, let alone ballpark.

Apparently not enough money has been thrown away.

3)It's un-American that top 1% own 90% of wealth - It is precisely American because we live in a controlled Republic and not a socialist/communist style of government

Yup.

4)Break up "too-big-to-fail" banks. _ then why state the first 2 ?

Wait, what? I just about got whiplash here. Talk about contradictory statements 1 and 2 cannot happen with 4.

5)Record profits-with politicians' help--caused the recession.- Uh no , the predatory lending in the housing market did

Combinations of all of those. ...and the American voter sending the same idiots back, time and again. Under the mistaken belief that this time they'd get it right!

6)1776 Revolution threw off corporate rule; it's creeping back. - Negative. The Revolution threw off the Central Bank's rule.(you know , taxation without representation)

Isn't a central bank, controlled by the same lot as controls the East India Company and other monstrous corporations, a corporation?? Seems like it to me.

7)Immediate halt in all new fossil fuel exploration. - Then WTF will we use for energy then ? Snot from our noses?

Does snot burn clean? Just too silly for words.

8) Completely zero out climate emissions, as fast as possible.- Lets go back to the Neanderthal days...yeah

Good luck with that. How do they propose to pay for this, again?

9) Weatherizing homes creates jobs & addresses climate change. Why state this? If you go with the above 2 doesnt matter . We have nothing to heat with. Even candles emit hydrocarbons.

Not that many jobs.

10)National ban on fracking; natural gas is not clean. That part is just laughable.Must be in there for comical relief.

*sigh*

11) Let states prevent nuclear power plants.- Damn what kinda energy resource is left ? (clean that is) See 8 above

Not a fan of nuclear energy...so no arguement from me on this one. The only one so far...

12) World War II-scale mobilization to reduce carbon burden.- Yeah lets mobilize the military to overtake those countries using carbon emitting energy. Oh wait , thats ALL OF EM

What does this even mean?? Go to war with other countries over sooty smoke stacks? What?

13) Nuclear energy is dirty, dangerous and expensive. This lady has NO CLUE WHATSOEVER

No fossil fuels. No nukes. What's left? Wood. Geo-thermal. Solar.

14) Logging wood for electricity is neither clean nor green. _wait , what ? we cant even have fireplaces or campfires ?

Oops. No wood. Damn. Startin' to run out of things.

15)$200M for 50,000 green jobs: address both supply demand.What green jobs ? Cleaning the sewer systems ?

50,000 jobs. How many people in the oil, coal, and associated business' have become unemployed, again? A few more than 50,000 I think...

16) Undocumented immigrants are critical component of economy. - And against Federal Laws

Seriously? I don't even know what to say.

17)Guaranteed jobs for all who need work -Hmm a dreamer . And what about those that dont want to work living off my dollar ?

Doing what? Digging a hole, and filling it the next day? Because with all those others above, you've just gutted the nations economy, and started wars with every single nation on Earth, you know, because of their sooty smokestacks. Oh, right... Fallout shelters.

18) Green New Deal: emergency program for 25M jobs.Dream on. Another Obama style give to green companies that will only throw it down the toilet and go bankrupt.

Using what to ship all these wondrous "green products"? Trains aren't running. Trucks aren't running. etc...

19) Raised Jewish; married to a Protestant atheist.- How the HADES are you a Protestant atheist ??????

Meh. Don't care.

Seriously , I agree with the most part of her stances. But they are all talking points every single candidate has stated for a long time now.

There's nothing original here. Nothing. Not sure what the enthusiasm is all about...

Jill Stein on the issues

Most of these are, at least for the moment, untenable.
