- In a Democracy Now! exclusive, Dr. Jill Stein officially launches her campaign
as a Green Party candidate for the 2016 presidential race. "I have a
people-powered campaign," Stein notes. "I am running with the only national
party that does not take corporate funding." Stein, a physician and activist who
first ran in 2012, outlines her platform. She joins the fray as the race for the
Democratic Party nomination heats up. Vermont Senator Bernie Sanders, a
self-proclaimed democratic socialist, has emerged as Hillary Clinton’s main
rival for the party’s nomination, as his poll ratings have surged in recent
weeks. "Hillary is the Wal-Mart candidate. She has been a member of the Wal-Mart
board. On jobs, on trade, on healthcare, on banks, on foreign policy, it is hard
to find where we are similar."
