Benjamin Netanyahu may have a ‘close, personal friend’ in our current president – but he won’t when I am elected.

As president, the first thing I will do is end the supply of weapons and military aid to Israel, while it is in violation of international law, including its practice of genocide, ethnic cleansing, and the occupation of Gaza and the West Bank.

I will push the Senate to ratify the Rome Statute recognizing the legal authority of the International Criminal Court. And I will direct all U.S. federal agencies with the proper authority to recognize and execute any valid arrest warrant issued by the ICC over Israel’s war crimes.

I will not allow the foreign policy of the most powerful and influential nation on earth to be dictated by a despot clinging to the last threads of his power in a genocidal apartheid state.

Benjamin Netanyahu will face justice under a Jill Stein administration.

In solidarity,

Jill

    I feel like you could have the most patriotic, acceptable lib woman as a candidate and she wouldn't win the election, the US just has too much misogyny still. But it's good that she can at least use this messaging to shame Biden and Israel which may help some libs accept the truth of the genocide.

      There's a decent potential for third parties in this election. None of them will win, obviously - and the feds will JFK her before she can get within 10 miles of the White House even if she gets the votes - but the hatred of the two party system is reaching real heights.

      Will there be any meaningful result from this, even if the winner will still ultimately be Biden or Trump? I have no idea, but it's possible. I don't think that analyzing the situation electorally is productive given that the powers that be will have us voting between Dems and Reps until the sun freezes if they had their way, so I mean "results" in a more general domestic sense. Mix a few massive protest waves together with big recessions and higher gas prices and a visibly awful foreign policy and a decaying empire and who knows what comes out over the coming years. Nothing ever happens until it does.

        The biggest states block 3rd parties from even getting on the ballots through various ridiculous hoops they force them to jump through, which makes it basically a 0% chance that a non dem or rep could ever be elected to the white house

          Including California, de la Cruz of PSL is going to be on the ballot in most of the biggest states. We should be in enough states that we could technically get 270 electoral votes.

    It sounds like the Greens will be on the ballot for a lot of states, certainly more than PSL. With that and more name recognition it is likely they receive more votes.

    Is there a potential for huge protest votes this time? Are the electorate's fears of spoiling the vote finally waning?

    Magical thinking best case scenario could be PSL 5%, Green 15%. That would be a huge success, not to mention all the possibilities down ballot with that protest vote energy.

    Time to get your hopes up folks, that's what election season is for. Just be prepared for them to be dashed come this dark November.
