Still Mad As Hell in 2016

Although she probably didn’t know exactly how mad voters were going to be in 2016, Green Party presidential nominee Jill Stein was already tapping into voter dissatisfaction in 2012.In the madhouse of the 2016 election cycle, Jill Stein is still reaching out to the “I’m as mad as hell, and I’m not going to take it anymore” voter – and there seems to be more of them every day (and much more of them than in 2012).But who knew that her first TV ad of 2012 would fit so perfectly into the national mood of 2016?“A green party president means an end to unemployment, to foreclosures, to student debt, to climate change – and an end to corporate rule.” No this is not October 2015 – and no that’s not Bernie Sanders. Stein was ahead of the game in 2012.“We’re not talking spare change,” Stein tells the camera. That’s a rebuke of Obama’s “Hope and Change” slogan from his 2008 campaign.

That brings her to a total of 38
