Jill Stein, known for her 2016 presidential run, has announced her candidacy for president again.

Stein aims to address issues such as inequality, war, and climate change, criticizing both major parties for their failures.

Stein’s platform includes an “Economic Bill of Rights” and a Green New Deal, emphasizing diplomacy and international law to end violence.

“Over 60 percent of us now say the bipartisan establishments failed us, and we need a party that serves the people. I’m Jill Stein, and I’m running for president to offer that choice for the people outside of the failed two-party system,” she said, assuring listeners that she will be “crushing inequality, endless war, and climate collapse.

“And we’ll put these front and center in the selection and on the ballot across the country. The ruling parties that got us into this mess aren’t getting us out,” she added, emphasized that both sides are “squandering trillions on the endless war machine, fueling conflict around the world.”

Stein stated that Democrats have “betrayed their promises for working people, youth, and the climate again and again, while Republicans don’t even make such promises in the first place,” and believes that both sides are a “danger to our democracy.”

“Change won’t come from the ruling elites. It comes from we the people,” she added.

“We do have the power and we can use it in this election to start building an America and a world that works for all of us,” she added.

Her campaign website highlights priorities like freedom, equality, and justice for marginalized groups.

This could impact the Democratic base, as concerns arise about potential voter diversion.
