Meet the (Third Party) Candidates: Jill Stein

Green party candidate for president Jill Stein.  Democrats believe she’s the Yoko Ono of the presidential race.  Donald Trump believes she’s...yet another faceless disgusting woman who probably has periods.  Both major parties would like you to think she’s some sort of dreadlock-y hippie that isn’t worth your time.  If corporate shills and/or flat out insane people aren’t your cup of tea, join us as we meet our first of the two major third party candidates and dive a little deeper into this thing called democracy!
