Democrats haven’t taken kindly to third-party candidates drawing any attention away from the candidate they’re desperately trying to sell to Americans, and Jill Stein is calling it out.
The Green Party candidate spoke to Breitbart News to air her grievances with what she calls the “anti-Democratic Party” that is trying to keep her from getting her name on the ballot.
“I think we need to rename the Democratic Party. It’s actually the ‘Anti-Democratic Party,’ and I have had trouble with both of the organized parties — I wouldn’t leave Republicans out of this either — but focusing on the Democrats here, they are pulling out all the stops to basically — to shut out political competition,” she said.
“Isn’t that what democracy is supposed to be about?” she continued, pointing out that the party has repeatedly proclaimed their need to defend “democracy” from former President Donald Trump.
“Democrats proudly announced in March that they had hired an army of the big elitist corporate lawyers to throw their competition like me off the ballot, and they are doing that,” Stein revealed. “We currently have challenges in several states, but actually beat them back in Nevada. We beat them back in Wisconsin.”
“They’re dredging up any reason to challenge us, to drain us of our resources, and basically to shut us down.”
Stein is currently slated to be on the ballot in a number of states including California, Oregon, Montana, Arizona, New Mexico, Utah, Colorado, Texas, Arkansas, Louisiana, Mississippi, Wisconsin, Michigan, West Virginia, North Carolina, South Carolina, Florida, and Maine, according to the New York Times. She is still working toward qualification in Idaho and Delaware but has failed to qualify in New York.
