The Party of Our Discontent? An Interview With Green Party Candidate Jill Stein
Sunday 29 January 2012
by: Steve Horn, Truthout

Discontent with the political system as a whole is rising, as seen clearly through the lens of struggles around the world and right here at home...

This is the background to my conversation with Jill Stein, Green Party candidate for president of the United States, during a campaign stop in Madison, Wisconsin, on December 15. Stein is hoping to ride the momentum of the Occupy movement and reach uncharted water for a third-party candidate for president, and has a central campaign platform called the "Green New Deal."

We've had this experience over the past eight years where we've been told to silence ourselves, muzzle yourselves, shut up, hold your nose, you know, vote for the "lesser evil." Yeah, so now people now really have the evidence that silence is not an effective political strategy, and what we do if we silence the public interest, which is so hard to hear anyway, is that we silence ourselves and then we do not have a democracy.

- in fact, I've met Republicans and Ron Paul supporters who have told me, who have said that when Ron Paul doesn't make it in the Republican Party they're supporting us in our campaign because we are the only voice in the race for our assaulted civil liberties.

I'm done voting for the "lesser of two evils", corporate-bought, bailout-giving, tax loophole-passing, destroyers of our economy who've suffered no reparations despite their actions.

It's not just Democrat or Republican - dozens of third-party candidates are also running for president this fall.
