The Democrats have passed legislation in the House to fix dark money in politics nearly every year since the Citizens United ruling in 2010.
Every time, Republicans block debate and kill the bills with filibusters and other stalling tactics, unwilling to even let the legislation come up for a vote in the Senate.
So politicians are up for sale
It’s been that way for a very long time. ☹️
Please interview Dr. Shiva Ayyadurai who is also running for president
They devised a system then made laws proportionate to it. They did not make laws and then devised the system That’s all about how the United States of America functions. In short Mafias rule the country and commoners are just tools to be used.
I used to be a great admire of America.
Now I have nothing but contempt.
American democracy is definitely not good for emulation
Okay Abdul.

I am from Australia and totally agree with this. Enough of their warmongering. Instead of agreeing still trying whitewashing it by the comments here from Americans. The ones biggest victims of it all still defending the indefensible.
I see the Democrats and Republicans are basically on the same page and that is pleasing corporations and billionaires over the will of the peoples
vote jillstein
Facial Recognition Book
💯 Jill.
Jill Stein received my vote October 8th, the democratic party tried to keep her off the ballot here in Indiana
Like RFK Jr she is in Trump’s orbit of influence. I don’t know if she is influenced by Putin as she has had dinners with him in Moscow, but my guess is she is probably not a traitor, which Trump certainly is.
Jill for president of USA.
Jil only gonna result in trump win as she is banking on democrats followers
Why were you hanging out with Putin? I don’t trust this person AT ALL. 👎
Notice she doesn’t talk about trump’s more billionaire support. She’s a plant to take away democratic voters
She’s the only one who wants to stop sending weapons to Israel. And she’s Jewish herself.
simply called bribery😏

how is this not treason?
Proud to have voted for you in 2016. Will be voting for you again in this Presidential election. 👍👍
So you’re voting for Trump. Cool cool cool.
Just vote for Trump.
_Fresh off her 2016 political quacksalvery, in which she handed that year’s election to Donald Trump, this professional grifter — who’s been doing real damage to the Green Party for over a decade — is trying to get Trump back into the White House._
Jill Stein ❤
We have to vote for Jill Stein!!! They want us to believe that we only have two choices for president, and that we have to vote for what we feel is the lesser of two evils… But it’s just not true Jill Stein is a viable choice, and the only choice if we want to have someone who’s not being backed by the billionaire donor class, the people that do not care about you or I, they only care about the profits that they’re raking in and continue raking in the profits, even if it means destroying our country in the process
She described it better than ever
If Jill shakes the system where she gains huge votes without the billionaires, it’s enough for leading parties to see that people hold morals and intelligence over hype. The days of blindly following BS will be gone.
Simply put “da juice “
What’s crazy is most the people in my country don’t even know about Jill Stein I barely learn that she was running for president last week so we need to do some more campaigning send some more money or do something to get her to rise up. We were stuck with two crappy people to become president but she was here all along. So I ask myself how did I not know it’s not like I’m this alt-right person or anything like that so why didn’t I see any ads?why didn’t I see that she was campaigning? Why do most Americans not even know about her running for president or even ever mentioned her?
they spend billions, she only has thousands to spend. Send her money & she’ll put out more adverts
Sharing the videos where she’s being broadcasted is helpful too.
Then do your part and put her name out there.. share her videos, talk about her on your social media platforms. She stands a REAL chance of making history in this election! The numbers say so. Let’s not waste our vote on the two clowns representing blue and red. Vote Green!
Stein attacking the DNC instead of GOP like always.
DEMOBLICANS VS REPUBLICRATS.
She basically was talking about AIPAC
and the other lobbies
MIC biggest donors. But don’t forget Pharma corps&Wall st
Jill Stein is a Putin apologist. I will never vote for her. Never
Kamala Harris is better than Trump and Biden on Middle East policy
American politics in a nutshell, and pretty much all western governments!
Third party candidates have no chance of winning presidential elections as long as the electoral college exists.
Vote Jill stein 2024
To call US. a democracy is a joke
American who believe in justice and humanity should vote Jill Stein😊.
Jill’s objective is to siphon votes from the Dems! She is running agains Trump too but has no criticism for him. She put Trump in office once ans she’s trying to do it again!remember her at the table with Flynn and Putin!!!
I really appreciate this woman for her fairness, honesty, and effort. I don’t think much of America but the world needs leaders like her that are honest, too bad the system is corrupt. Regardless I will pray for her.

More Awareness and reminder of “Our World ” new order corruption , And they control ” A.I “,.! Are we all sheep that will always follow ???
And the US supreme court allowed all this happened.
Remember when she raised money after the election of Trump and kept it all?
Not true at all.
Put it simply: its bribery. You cant make an impartial decision when you are in a conflict of interest scenario.
Please make this woman president, the US citizens I beg you!
And u can see how Washington politicians v extended their game to the rabid dog called Isarel
Jill Stein is Jewish, anti war, pro Palestinian, pro environment, has a Muslim vice president pick, is a doctor, and obviously an extremely intelligent and moral person. She is the obvious choice for president yet because of corrupt donations and a disgusting system designed to perpetuate itself, we will end up with one of two mass murdering clowns that will destroy the world. The people deserve a real leader like her but the people are also incredibly brainwashed and will vote for a dangerous con man/woman. Kamala Harris is married to a Zionist and no better than Trump.
+ psychopathy
And Jill Stein is purchased by Russia
Looks like the planners of Democracy have reached the apex of achievement 😢
Shes got my vote! She’s the only candidate who wants to stop the war and the carnage! Shes soap tge onky candidate who wants to make things better for the American ppl!
And mainstream media, h K as ignored her. As they are only loyal to big money just like our politiciansin fact mainstream media works for the goverment , in favor of corporations and the war machine!
We the American ppl no longer live In a democracy !
And Harris and Trump are both bought and paid for by the corrupt billionaires! Who are really running this country!
That’s enough they are loyal to ! Not the American people
She is brave I can telling you she is a brave
The right wing Federalist Society run by Leonard Leo received hundreds of millions in dark money donations over many years to fund campaigns to appoint Republican / religious bigots and reactionaries on the Supreme Court. This led to decisions like Citizens United which legalised the political corruption seen today. There is now corruption by members of the court.
You can tell what a society’s priorities are by how it spends its money.
Last week, Hurricane Helene raged through the southern U.S., killing more than 230 people. But before a full count of the wreckage and death could even be made, FEMA announced a $9 billion funding shortfall. That same day, Israel announced it would receive another $8.7 billion in military aid from the U.S. government.
The Biden administration is making it clearer by the day that it would rather pay for the murder of Palestinian children than the rescue and rebuilding of communities in the U.S.
AIPAC ARE TRAITORS AMERICA.
Are this dirty money clean up maybe in USA maybe?
And we think the average Persons vote means anything at all in Western Democracy. Thats the biggest illusion and lie in Democracy. Where the Average person has a say in who is in Government. A person for the people, by tbe people. Thats the illusion and trick.
A Politican for the Elite, by the Elite. The citizens have absolutely no say at all. Wake up. Democracy like Communism sounds like a great idea, until the Elites change it ti suit themselves.
Thank you Jill for your tenacity and humanity and honesty. The war in the middle east by Netanyahu has opened up a Pandora’s box of how the war machine works. GREED AND POWER places all the wealth in the hands of a few. Weapons and mass killing is how the money goes into the hands of 1%. We talk in terms of billionaires and trillionaires these days😢.
Netanyahu and Biden have violated the principles of God and Man 😢
whenever I hear the speech about how United States defends Democracy of the World, defends Freedom of Speech, defends Human Rights( ? those in Cuba, Venezuela, Iran, Russia, China, Afghanistan, Palestinean? ), I could not help but laugh at anyone who believed in this foolish hypocracy!
Kingdom ship is better than Democracy is Failed in many Countries Politicians is making Good money they’re spending lot’s of Money in Campaigns in Elections.
Why is the third political party in the US also lead by someone with friends and relatives living on land stolen from the Palestinians?
Thankyou for being honest🙏🏻
My vote is for her ❤❤
Free US. US is no democrasy or free speach country
voting her would result in Voting Trump.. don’t waste your vote as she is not gonna win 100 percent..so vote so that your vote matters ✅ Either Trump or Kamala
Over this BS. Vote for Trump is vote for Harris. Vote for Harris is vote for Trump. Both are under the control of AIPAC, MIC esp.

“The Holy Roman Empire is neither Holy, nor Roman, nor an Empire.” ~ Voltaire
So here’s the actual numbers for billionaire donors: Trump 26, Harris 6. They are required to report their donations for public perusal. So she was incorrect that Harris has more than ever. Trump far exceeds Harris. Throughout American history lobbyists for special interest groups have been an integral part of the political landscape. PACs or Political Action Committees for every interest group exist in Washington to ensure their relevant Congress member is up to date and aware of the latest on their needs and wants for them to accomplish their goals: new industry for their region, bridges, whatever. Over the past 60 years the relationships have involved increasing amounts of donations. The role of lobbyists needs to stay. They are a necessary conduit of information. What needs to change is the role of donations. The donations should be either capped or made totally anonymously so that the appearance of Congress members being bought off goes away. So yes, we need to tweak the system to improve it.
Bribery and corruption
Thank you for sharing 🙏 i VOTE for JILL STEIN 2024 President of America 💚💯
She would be fine except for the green new deal and anti gun ownership bs
You win or not iwill vote for you. As American we should try to save our country from AIPAC Occupation.
Peoples power can definitely win over any billionaire support.
The American people has to decide and take action to save America from continuously being controlled by the Israel lobby.
Kamala and Trump get money from Jews Zionist lobbies. Both leaders meant disaster to the Middle East and the world.
Been saying this for years politicians are just gangsters. Political parties are crime syndicates.
Actually, in every election. Don’t be fooled. All politicians accept money from places they would rather not stand up and applaud in public 😂
Please, Americans, VOTE FOR THIS WOMAN!
Vote for this woman to get Trump back into office.
You are so right. 1 million dollars has string attached
America is an oligarchy cosplaying as a utopian democracy.
Sadly many of the hoi polloi don’t even realize it.
The Russian spy who only shows her face ever election system to help Republicans. So what do you call Elon Muskette funding of Republican?
America?
Globally, this is a problem. It’s holding the human race back and it will be our end.
In Africa we call it: BRIBERY AND CORRUPTION
She describes the Quatar !!!
Thank god almighty there are still loads of ‘Good Jews who stand for the Truth’ and this lady is one of them .
Blame central bankers and their ilk.
Agree with you
Jill Stein 2024 💚🌍🌱. Thank you aljazeera, for platforming this candidate.
Jill Stein 2024
Don’t trust this putin schill
Now tell me how are we not headed for a trajectory of an all out Global Nuclear catastrophe.
Hi gorgeous You are so beautyful
That’s way your truth voice sitting in deep heart
Honestly, the US has not been a Democracy for more than half a century.
The president is the HR head at this point.
Administrative Europe, Le Deficit Democratique, supports and certainly is one rich donor for Mrs Harris, to avoid the firing of the most civil servants of Le Deficit Democratique.
Thankfulness to this distinguished Lady who escapes the common vulgairity pattern. Bitte Teilt Euch wieder und weiter mit und nimmt Eurer Folger. Veuillez repartager s’il vous plait et retirez vos conclusions. Please reshare and draw your conclusions. Por favor tomai consciência e recompartilhai. Assumi as vossas conclusões.
I invite those interested to search how EU supports Mrs Harris financially. And to reshare. We all will understand interesting things.
A politician….. calling out politicians…..
This can only mean that they’ve noticed that enough voters have now come to the same conclusion to make them (the oligarchs) worry, and has finally decided to intervene to control the growing dissent.
Now let’s see what brilliant trick she’s going to pull out of her hat to keep the sheeple voting and quiet ….and status quo untouched.

Love you Jill Stein 💞💞❤❤
Where did all that money you got in 2016 disappear to Jill? The nerve of these corrupt people who literally raised a bad t net of money to run away with, talking g about the corruption of others. I can understand supporting one of the 2 parties even though they both suck, but the entire purpose of the Green Party is to scam money that will NEVER be used on gaining any political power. If the Greens were a real party the they would actually try to get seats in Congress. Pay attention to the fact that they never do.
Well, this isn’t just peculiar to the US. It happens everywhere in the world where there’s government or semblance of one.
She is right, I am going to vote for you
I’m guessing Biden agreed to drop out if she keeps his establishment Whitehorse team..?
