Democracy Now! speaks with the Green Party’s presidential ticket, Jill Stein and her running mate Butch Ware, after the Green Party suffered a setback Friday when the U.S. Supreme Court declined a request to put Stein on the ballot in Nevada. The Democratic Party had sued to keep Stein off the ballot for failing to submit the proper forms. In this campaign cycle, Democrats have fought to keep the Green Party off the ballot, while some Trump supporters, including a former Trump lawyer, have helped the Green Party obtain ballot access. “They are terrified of actually meeting us in the court of public opinion and having a real debate about the crises the American people face and the real solutions that we alone have put on the table,” says Stein. “The American people are in crisis in virtually every dimension of our lives.” Stein’s third run for the presidency is receiving support in some areas over Vice President Kamala Harris’s refusal to call for an arms embargo on Israel. The Council on American-Islamic Relations recently published a survey that showed Stein is leading Harris among Muslim voters in three battleground states: Arizona, Michigan and Wisconsin. “This effort to try to pin an inevitable defeat of the Democrats upon third parties or upon Muslims is at best disingenuous,” says Ware, a Muslim historian and professor. “Every effort to protect Team Blue, to protect the Democrats from facing accountability for the evil that their own hands have wrought is equally evil.”
