I interviewed Jill Stein at the Democracy Convention in Madison, Wisconsin, in 2012. I have a problem with her continued political myopia then and now. The interview and article are probative.

Summary:

I met Jill Stein for the first time in Madison, Wisconsin, at the Democracy Convention just over a decade ago. I challenged her candidacy then, as many are now. As I mentioned in the article that follows. Stein has the privilege, given her wealth, of being a spoiler, but many don’t. And while she wants purity from the parties, the article reveals otherwise. It’s incredible how much things have remained the same with her.

In her 2012 interview at the Democracy Convention in Madison, Wisconsin, Green Party presidential candidate Jill Stein discusses her political awakening and the failures of the current two-party system. She emphasizes the importance of independent political movements in driving systemic change and critiques corporate influence over both major parties. Stein highlights the dangers of trade agreements like the Trans-Pacific Partnership (TPP) and calls for a united movement to reclaim democratic power from corporate interests.

• Jill Stein said her political awakening stemmed from her experience as a mother and doctor, witnessing systemic injustices.

• When she tried to pass progressive legislation, she encountered resistance from the political establishment, which led her to join the Green Party.

• Stein argues that social movements and independent political parties are essential for enacting real change.

• The Trans-Pacific Partnership (TPP) is described as "NAFTA on steroids," giving corporations dangerous power over national governments.

• Stein calls for Americans to recognize their collective power and reject the "politics of fear" perpetuated by the two-party system.

Jill Stein’s message is a rallying cry for those disillusioned with corporate-dominated politics. She insists that real change won’t come from within the existing power structures but through independent movements that challenge the status quo. Stein’s vision, rooted in justice and equality, is a bold alternative to the compromises of the Democratic and Republican parties, offering hope for a future where people, not profits, shape society.
