On the eve of the election, Dr. Jill Stein takes questions from TRNN viewers.

Of course I supported Jill. But wouldn’t it be nice to actually get a candidate that has a legitimate chance to effect some degree of change? If we’re to be honest, we’ve accomplished nothing this time around. Meanwhile, the Tea Party experiment has, at least for now, succeeded. We need the People’s Party.

Alice Walker said it well.
Sound advice and wise words from Dr Stein and Chris Hedges.
What a marked difference, and how telling it is, that mainstream apparatchiks can peddle such outrageously tawdry, shoddy ‘mainstream’ goods to 320 million people (not all of whom are yet of an age to vote of course, or necessarily able to do so) when here are two intelligent, well trained, educated and professionally experienced people elucidating another political story altogether ~ that is totally ignored by the majority and sidelined or eclipsed by the foghorn blizzard of dominant ideological bigotry.
Incredible.
How can the US electorate be so stupid as to believe the specious fantasies of the incumbent candidates, the flimsy ostentation of their pathetic, bi-polarized war-engines? It really is beyond me; and it makes one wonder whether US citizens have actually totally lost their metaphorical marbles.
I’ve just streamed Greg Palast’s latest epic report; its a powerful indictment of this monstrous red-lined dead-end, of the moral cul-de-sac that is Apartheid America.
Jill Stein, it was reported, recently had a bout of pneumonia, so she is clearly in need of a hard-earned, well deserved rest; but what an excellent and lucid exponent she is of genuinely progressive politics.
Yes, I also hope she gets her well deserved rest after this long campaign.
But do remember that the youth of today and of the future will be receiving their news via alternative and independent media via the Internet, not corporate media, so there is hope.
So glad you watched Palast’s film. I was fighting back tears by the end of it. I updated that post today with a clip from the film and an interview with Greg Palast.

Thanks Lo. Yes it affected me the same way ~ that’s the shameful African-American reality; but the excruciating anguish of Indigenous America was never more poignantly expressed than in those few excoriating words “bury my heart at Wounded Knee.”
Yes, I so agree, David. I have deep sadness for the Native Americans, too.
Palast’s film plus Abby Martin’s video report both conclude that the very, very wealthy and corporations rule the US (and the world). And it’s both the Republican Party and the Democratic Party.
I voted for Jill Stein today.
