    Third parties actually push important issues into the spotlight, challenging the status quo. And they give voters more options.

    Jill Stein has run for public office a total of 8 times. Of those she was successful in getting elected and completing her term one single time. This office was: Lexington Town Meeting, a representative town meeting, the local legislative body in Lexington, Massachusetts. 3 years later she ran for the same office and won again…but then resigned during her term. source

    This doesn’t look like a realistic candidate interested in a political career to change policy. How is this giving voters more options?

      I’s about challenging a rigged system and giving a voice to those who are fed up with the same old politics. Her campaigns have always been about pushing the boundaries, forcing issues into the spotlight that the two-party system would rather ignore.

      If you measure success by who stays in line, she’s not your candidate.

      But if you value someone who stands up, even when the odds are against them, then Jill Stein represents the fight for real change.

      Third parties are the relentless pulse of revolution, defying the chains of the status quo and daring to ignite the flames of true change in a system built to silence them.
