Happy birthday, Jill Stein!

I made a small contribution today (Sunday 15 May) at jill2016.com in honor of her 66th year. I wish her a success of 1 million votes in General Election this year, even as I'm not giving up on Bernie.

And they might. Bernie obviously can't talk about that right now, as long as he is still running for the Dem nomination (I think Nevada yesterday proved how that is going to turn out.)

Their Number 1 issue, of course, is the environment and what monopoly capitalism is doing, and has done to it. It is definately an existential issue, perhaps the only one, or at least the overriding one, and the party is dedicated to putting into place a solution.
I wish them well; I hope they gain power and avoid the cooptation that has befallen to some of the Euro-Greens.

are Bernie v2.0 or higher, IMHO.

For sure, like Bernie, she's addressing the madness of infinite growth within a finite planet. It's the irreconcilable rifts between nature and global exploitation of resources. The engine of destruction being the economic system of monopoly capitalism, which will abruptly end with humanity's Götterdämmerung. It's started with melting of Arctic icecaps and the methane clathrate gun. The curves are all exponential, which leads to a sudden event on a global scale, as in the freight train running off the track with no brakes. This is the science which is ignored because there is no solution.

"Quantitative easing" of student loans, I don't think Bernie has gone that far.

She's been facing the corruption right at ground-zero since 2012. The establishment turns screws on the Green Party a little bit tighter than they're doing with Bernie under a challenger Dem status, but it's the built-in corruption all the same.

She's locked out of debates and voters won't ever be allowed to vote for Green in a number of states for 2016. This is open, in-your-face election scamming, and that's not including the covert fraud which is intentional and hidden but can be statistically-inferred by exit polling as Charnin and others are doing.
