Why any progressive U.S. citizen would fail to vote for presidential candidate Jill Stein continues to confound. Yes, Dr. Jill Stein of Green Party fame and career physician (Harvard Med.). That is, Dr. Stein who, first and foremost—and unlike presidential rivals Trump, Clinton, and Johnson--has pierced the smoke and mirrors of a ubiquitous capitalist socio-economic paradigm that's left this planet's biosphere teetering on the brink of an apocalyptic global-warming meltdown.
Does or does not, might I enquire, the present capitalist paradigm cater to an avaricious “1%," while "the remainder" of our planet's human inhabitants wage-slave their lives away for purposes of mere survival? Is or is not, upon further enquiry, presidential candidate Dr. Stein--a la Bernie Sanders—of definitive socialist bent? And, further, does not candidate Stein advocate, push for, an inestimably reasonable “Green New Deal" wherein green, life-promotive employ will be plentifully available while old, environmentally-destructive (“dirty") employ will be properly provided funeral rites?
Needst it be noted that candidate Stein refuses—in line with long-standing Green Party principles, and in utter contradistinction to Ms. Clinton--any and all corporate campaign funding? Thus, and by simple deduction, Dr. Stein—upon election—would in no-wise be beholden to corporate power unlike Ms. Clinton (were she elected) who would of necessity serve same corporate power as dutiful minion.
Candidate Stein is a “peacenik”—this, inasmuch as she, properly, construes modern-day belligerency to be primarily capitalistically-induced. It matters not whether such belligerency is of international or intra-national scale (e.g., Stateside, the enduring cause of African-American equality—the "Black Lives Matter" movement but only the most recent incarnation)--Dr. Stein understands the ravages and trauma that necessarily obtain in war and war's aftermath for both soldiers and civilians.
And, yet, is not Ms. Clinton widely hailed—oft approvingly(!)--as a "hawk?" Moreover, might I ask, is not war in-and-of-itself primitive? Reactionary? Backwards? Does not war and capitalism stroll proudly, hand-in-hand? War serves the capitalistic paradigmatic multi-dimensionally. Ms. Clinton, proven “hawk," is also in bed with capitalism. War, simply, is both degrading and revolting. Vote Stein.
The source of our latest (“great") recession--as is common knowledge--was Wall Street's and the financiers' avaricious casino-like gambling with our--or, at least, what should be our--money. Yet it is not we, the People, who control our money but the capitalists (via banking and other mechanisms). And do our “avuncular” capitalists/bankers control what is--properly—our money for our own benefit? Hah! If one but reads the published statistics, one will shortly thereby be apprized that the on-going recession of “the Great Recession" (i.e., "recovery") has by no means positively impacted "the People" (a.k.a., "the 99%"), though--strictly speaking and via econometric confirmation--has substantially increased the size of the already overflowing coffers of the power-elite and super-rich! That is, the affluent are becoming more affluent while we, the People, remain mired in recession-level stagnation!
Conversely, does not candidate Dr. Stein repudiate Wall Street and same's profligate “values?” More, does not candidate Stein question the very raison d’etre of Wall Street and the financiers? Vote Stein.
Admittedly, were I a psychologist, Ms. Clinton might prove a worthy subject for psychobiography. Irrespective, should not we all at present be mindfully aware that Ms. Clinton has not her two feet firmly planted upon our Earth? That, possibly, she remains existentially adrift, hiding from said adriftness via the convenient expedients of politics and grandmotherhood? Did not this same candidate Clinton commence her political career knocking on doors for arch-conservative ‘64 presidential contender Barry Goldwater?
Psychodynamically, Ms. Clinton’s life-tableau is of a centrifugal orientation as opposed to a Gestalt. And yet is not our Earth, in truth, a Gestalt--a Gestalt losing more "pieces" to extinction? And are not these lost species principally subject to extinction for capitalistically paradigmatic reason? And is not this same ecocidal capitalism plumped and ballyhooed by candidate Clinton? A capitalist paradigm to which, veritably, Ms. Clinton pays obeisance? Vote Stein.
In conclusion, I continue to remain confounded as to why anyone—beyond the cognitively (capitalistically?) impaired—would fail to vote for Dr. Jill Stein, President, U.S.
