If my campaign is not in the debate, we will not be talking about how we really fix this problem of endless and expanding war, why we need to cut the military budget by 50%, why we need to bring back our troops scattered overseas, the police force of the world, in over a hundred countries, something like eight hundred bases, but who's counting, why we need to basically bring those troops home and why we need to stop this policy of regime change, these wars on terror, which only create more terror. This needs to be debated.
Jill SteinThat is enough to win a three-way presidential race. If young people understand they have the numbers and they have the power to come out and turn this election on its head.
Jill SteinRemember, the majority of Donald Trump supporters don't actually support him. They're mainly motivated by not liking Hillary Clinton.
Jill SteinWhat's going on with [Donald] Trump, you can't even get at, you know, and what he said was that even to clarify 15 out of these 500 deals, these are just like the most frightening Mafiosos around the world.
Jill SteinWe saw recently that Donald Trump has gotten now over $4 billion in free media exposure, Hillary Clinton over $2 billion, and of course I've had almost none.
Jill SteinI don't want to revisit history or try to re-interpret it, you know, but starting from where we are now, given the experience that we've had in the last, you know, since 2001, which has been an utter disaster, I don't think it's benefited us. Half of our discretionary budget, right, it's like 54% of our discretionary budget right now is being spent on the military. This is not working.
