Jill Stein thinks she can win the USA presidency: A vote for utopia?
Green Party presidential nominee Jill Stein believes she can win the USA presidency:
August 18, 2016
WASHINGTON —
Green Party candidate Jill Stein says she has a chance to become the next U.S. president, despite the big task of overcoming what is largely a two-party system when it comes to national elections.
During a CNN town hall event Wednesday, Stein called Democrat Hillary Clinton’s record “very troubling” and described Republican Donald Trump as someone who “bashes immigrants and is a xenophobic and racist loudmouth.”
“I will have trouble sleeping at night if Donald Trump is elected,” she said. “I will also have trouble sleeping at night if Hillary Clinton is elected.”
In 2000, Green Party candidate Ralph Nader won just under 3 percent of the vote in an election that many believed Democrat Al Gore lost to Republican George Bush because those voters chose Nader. When asked about that prospect this year, Stein did not see her candidacy that way.
“Not splitting the vote, but potentially flipping the vote so that we who are the underdog deserve to be the top dog and actually could be the top dog if we stand up with the courage of our convictions.”
A big part of her belief in her chance of winning is a plan to attract what she called a “winning plurality” of 43 million young people who are trapped economically by student loan debt. Stein wants to abolish that debt through action by the Federal Reserve that would then allow people to spend money in other areas of the economy instead of making loan payments.
“It’s terrible for them, it’s terrible for our whole society, because it’s always the younger generation that leads us forward to create the economy of the future and to lead the social changes that we urgently need right now.”
She also wants to create jobs through transitioning the nation’s energy industry to completely renewable sources by 2030. Regarding the military, Stein wants to cut spending by 50 percent, end the use of drone attacks and close all U.S. bases abroad.
“Make higher education free, and healthcare as a human right, and create a welcoming path to citizenship, end police violence, and a foreign policy that’s based on international law, human rights and economic justice, not military and economic domination that’s blowing back on us so catastrophically,” Stein said of her platform Wednesday.
One hurdle Stein must overcome is that Trump and Clinton are well known publicly and as the nominees for the major parties they get lots of exposure. Stein released an open letter calling for the two candidates to participate in debates with her and Libertarian candidate Gary Johnson.
There are four planned debates, but the commission that runs them requires a candidate to get 15 percent support in five national polls in order to be eligible. The latest polls put Johnson at about 8 percent and Stein around 3 percent, so currently neither would take part.
“The presidential debates are the single most important election events in the presidential campaign,” the letter says. “They should provide voters with multiple opportunities to see all the candidates on the ballot across the country discussing important issues in an unscripted manner so the people can make informed decisions.” http://www.voanews.com/a/green-party-jill-stein-sees-way-to-beat-clinton-trump/3470102.html
It is not clear, to me at least, how she would end police violence, etc., though reducing violence is an admirable goal.
As far as education goes, notice the following:
Stein has spoken in favor of cancelling all student debt, arguing that it is possible through quantitative easing and does not require raising taxes. (Jill Stein. Wikipedia, accessed 08/18/16)
In other words, she wants to just print up money without any real backing–that is what ‘quantitative easing’ actually is.
This type of approach is condemned in the Bible (Isaiah 1:22,25; cf. Ezekiel 22:18-22). Ultimately, it will lead to hyperinflation and the destruction of the US dollar and the USA (cf. Habakkuk 2:6-8). But this may also be how she plans to ‘pay’ for free higher education and healthcare. This is not economically sustainable.
But some seem to feel that Jill Stein is the answer.
Notice, for example, the following by Caitlin Johnstone:
A vote for Jill Stein is a vote for a beautiful life17 August 2016
The corporate vision for America and the world includes “endless, stupid war” so they can make a fortune out of selling munitions for it, oil to keep their petrodollars afloat, Wall Street installing usury banking in Muslim countries, taking global control of food and water for Nestle and Monsanto, grinding down wages to under subsistence level for Wal-Mart et al, and exorbitant health care price gouging for all those big pharmaceutical companies.
That’s their grand plan for us. That’s their utopia. That’s their promised land. Oh, what fun!
Isn’t it revolting? I’m sorry, but someone has got to let these guys know they are terrible visionaries. By the time they’re through with us, this planet will be an apocalyptic dustbowl. They clearly have no idea what comprises a beautiful life. Imagine thinking all that was something to reach for? Wars and poverty. They think that’s a fun time for Earth. A vote for Trump or Hillary is a vote for that vision.
No thanks. I want Jill’s vision. …
I imagine a utopian future for my children, I imagine no poverty, people enjoying looking after each other, lots of time for play and fun as technology takes over jobs and we all get to reduce our work hours. More time for volunteering and making beautiful things together just for the fun of it. …
A vote for Jill Stein is a vote for a habitable planet.
I want a sparkling environment with clean oceans to swim in, and the fresh air of the forests to breathe into my lungs. I want to improve our environment through technology, not destroy it. I want to improve where we get energy from, I want to improve how we re-use materials, I want to improve the lives of those less fortunate than myself by decreasing our impact on the planet’s resources and getting smarter about how we use what we already have. …
So friends, family — please just understand that I want to vote for a beautiful future. I want to vote for Jill Stein’s vision. http://www.inquisitr.com/3426040/a-vote-for-jill-stein-is-a-vote-for-a-beautiful-life/#89cGWSgIYkRgAy1z.99
As far as utopia, it sounds like Caitlin Johnstone’s vision of Jill Stein is like Pope Francis’ Laudato Si vision and the United Nation’s ‘New Universal Agenda’ vision of utopia.
But those are false gospels (watch also the videos UN’s ‘New Universal Agenda’ is a False Gospel! and Galatians 1 and the False Gospel) .
Humanity is incapable of solving its problems and bringing in a true utopia. Any who believe otherwise are accepting a false gospel.
To understand the true gospel and how utopia will be brought in one should read the free online booklet: The Gospel of the Kingdom of God.
No matter how laudable some may feel that Jill Stein’s vision is, it will not work according to the Bible. The USA needs prayer, national repentance, and the Kingdom of God.
Jill Stein also holds to various specific positions that oppose biblical morality and concepts. This list in not all inclusive:
- Federal funding for embryonic stem cell research. (May 2012)
- Give women easy access to “morning after” pill. (Oct 2002)
- Protect a woman’s right to choose. (Nov 2001)
- “Religious Freedom” is surrogate for patriarchal domination. (Jul 2015)
- First pro-gay-marriage candidate in first gay marriage state. (Dec 2011)
- Legalize gay marriage. (Nov 2001)
- Death penalty is ineffective, and also barbaric. (Dec 2011)
- Marijuana is dangerous because it’s illegal, not vice-versa. (Dec 2011)
- Increase inheritance taxes; use it as “Aristocracy Tax”. (Jul 2015)
The above was extracted from: Jill Stein on the Issues – OnTheIssues.org.
Jill Stein’s policies and positions will not lead to utopia, but death (Romans 1:18-32) and disaster (Habakkuk 2:6-8). So, too, however, will those of the other three major candidates.
As far as a future utopia goes, a sermon is available online titled Millennial Utopia.
