Green Party presidential nominee Jill Stein on Sunday said the Democratic and Republican parties have thrown voters "under the bus" this election.

"It's been a race to the bottom between those two parties that have thrown us under the bus," Stein said on ABC's "This Week."

Stein said people shouldn't vote based on fear, but rather voters should chose a presidential candidate based on who represents their values.

"What we have seen over the years is that this politics of fear actually delivered everything that we were afraid of," she said.

"All the reasons people were told to vote for the lesser evil, because you didn't want the offshoring of our jobs, you didn't want the massive bailouts for Wall Street. You didn't want the endless expanding wars, the attack on immigrants. That's actually what we've gotten because we, the people, have allowed ourselves to be silenced."

Democracy is in need of a "moral compass," Stein said.

"It needs a vision, an affirmative vision of what we are about and an agenda that we can actually put forward," she said.

The Green Party nominee also made clear that politicians aren't entitled to votes.

"They have to earn our votes," she said.
