Jill Stein is a real progressive and not a DINO who will perpetuate a Republican agenda as defined by various Marxists on this board.
The real progressive, this is a partial listing of Jill Stein's 2016 platform:
* Enact a Green New Deal and create 20 millions jobs by transitioning to 100% clean renewable energy.
* In her Just Transition program, communities will move towards more green energy. Displaced fossil fuel workers will receive full income and benefits as they transition to alternative employment.
* Treat energy as a human right.
* Redirect research funds from fossil fuels to energy and conservation.
* End destructive energy extraction such as fracking, off shore drilling and pipelines.
* Protect pollinators
* Ban neonicotioids and other harmful pesticides that threaten the survival of bees and butterflies.
* Support an acceptable global climate and impart funds to that end to developing countries.
* Invest in clean air, water, food, and soil for everyone.
* Enact stronger environmental justice laws which will help low=income communities currently disproportionately affected.
* Conversion to zero waste processes.
* Enforceable rights to work for government as last resort.
* Workers earning fair shares.
* Grants and low interest loans to green companies.
* REPLACE NAFTA and other corporate agreements that export American jobs.
* Effective anti poverty programs that restore dignity and guarantee economic human rights such as housing, water and utilities.
* Healthcare: NO COPAYS, PREMIUMS, OR DEDUCTIBLES. (You pay for the treatment you receive and only the treatment you receive).
* Women's right to morning after pills.
* "ELIMINATE THE CANCER OF HEALTH INSURANCE"
* Tuition free education from K-University.
* Eliminate the authoritarian common core and put education back into the hands of communities.
* Recognize poverty as a key obstacle to learning.
* $15 minimum federal wage.
* Make corporations pay their fair share.
* Take action against wage theft.
* LGBTQIA+ protections.
* Demilitarize border crossings.
* Halt deportations of law abiding undocumented immigrants.
* Protect free internet; opposing the online piracy act and all other legislation that undermines freedom and equality.
* Abolish the death penalty.
* REPEAL THE PATRIOT ACT.
* End US role as world's arms supplier.
* Cut military spending by at least 50 percent.
