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

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.
