Jill Stein Wins Green Party Nomination
In case you’re extremely dissatisfied with the current state of corporate politics in this country, — or Ralph Nader bewitched you with his charm and grace in any of the previous decade’s presidential elections — Stein will be running on a pretty ambitious platform: she aims to create 25 million new jobs, downsize the military, legalize marijuana, end unemployment, and guarantee college education for everyone. Excited yet? Hopefully after a few more elections a candidate like Stein will achieve broader appeal, or at least not have to read the phrase “long-shot Green Party candidate” in front of her name whenever she’s mentioned in the news.
