Some Utahns might go for Gary Johnson this year, but my vote goes to Jill Stein. No, she won’t win the election, but to vote is to make a statement. I don’t like the direction our country is going in. Our overly aggressive foreign policy has done the world no favors. When ISIS is destroyed, Iraq and Syria will still be sectarian hot zones. We failed to restructure Afghanistan, the cultural differences being too significant. Clinton's and Trump's economic visions will increase capital flight and national debt, and Johnson just wants to pander to drug users. Stein’s proposal to close overseas military bases to cut costs is a sound argument, and wanting to have green jobs for the future is sensible. Being rich isn’t a crime, Hillary is one to talk, and neither is being an immigrant, though Trump forgets his own family history. No, I don't agree with Stein on every issue, but the delegates from the GOP and the Dems voted for populism this year. I can't approve of either of them.
