Episode 174 with Jill Stein
In the latest installment of our series interviewing presidential candidates, we’re honored to sit down with Jill Stein, who’s running again on the Green ticket. Recently, she was arrested at an encampment at WashU — she talks to us about what’s at stake for those protesting the genocide in Palestine, and why it’s so central to her politics, alongside her plans for the election. Watch below:
Hundreds of people around the country, largely on college campuses, have been arrested and assaulted by police for peacefully engaging in pro-Palestine encampments. The persecution of these people, and the infringement of their First Amendment rights, reveals how solidly our political establishment backs Israel at any cost, and how willing it is to compromise the so-called foundational values of this country in order to avoid challenging Netanyahu’s genocidal campaign in Palestine. There have been far too few courageous voices in American politics taking on this status quo. Jill Stein is one of those voices, and in our exclusive interview, we check in with her about the shocking details of her arrest, her ongoing advocacy for Palestine, and how it fits into her view for the presidency.
In terms of the presidency, the Democrats are making an ever stronger case that Biden is the only choice for anybody opposing another four years of Trump. Now, we’ve spent plenty of time on the show challenging this framework and pointing out the way it only supports a status quo that doesn’t work for working-class Americans. On this episode of KK&F, we have the opportunity to talk to Jill about what a third-party, pro-Palestine presidency would mean for the nation, how she plans to fight this uphill battle, and why fighting back against two-party hegemony is more important than ever.
