Episode 14: The woman trying to upend the U.S political system | Jill Stein | UNAPOLOGETIC

UNAPOLOGETIC

Saying it is antisemitic to oppose genocide is the most antisemitic statement of all"
Who is Jill Stein?
In this extended interview, Jill Stein speaks about what drives her to want to change the way the USA is governed.
We speak about her early life and the events and ideas that inspired her, and the experiences that convinced her that the best way to make the USA a better country - and more responsible global power - is to try and challenge the political status quo, in particular the machinery of the Democratic and Republican parties. She talks about why she chose to do this from outside the machine as a Green Party candidate.
She speaks about how “the squad” of Democratic progressives in Congress have inevitably lost their ability to influence change due to the corrosive nature of party politics.
Stein believes that the Democrats and Republicans are “evil parties”, one “conducting a genocide” and the other wanting to “dismantle nuclear weapons treaties”, and that neither party represents the American people.
She is hopeful that the Green Party could quadruple the vote it achieved in the 2016 election, meaning it could gain almost six million votes.
She says that in the unlikely event that she wins the election, she would immediately stop the “genocide in Gaza”.
