- #ImVoting4JillBecause She has only one policy position! Both in public and private!
- #ImVoting4JillBecause She is the candidate who will finally stop the US military-industrial complex.
- #ImVoting4JillBecause she is serious about addressing climate change and doesn't think I'm a "basement dwelling" naive child.
- 1 in 4 women in our country is a victim of sexual violence. To have a presidential candidate modeling this behavior is unacceptable.
- The Commission on Presidential #debates is controlled by the Democratic & Republican parties. It's a fraud. #debate #OccupyTheDebates
- A real #debate would include the 4 candidates on enough ballots to win, as 76% of Americans support. #OccupyTheDebates #OpenDebates
- We can't rely on pro-fracking Clinton & her frack-happy transition chief Ken Salazar to save us from climate meltdown. #banfracking
- The corporation building the Dakota Access Pipeline is the real vandal in North Dakota. #NoDAPL #StandWithStandingRock
- Tonight's #debate showed why Clinton & Trump are the least liked or trusted candidates ever. It was not a good use of the viewers' time.

- It's been a race to the bottom between the "lesser" and "greater" evil. It's time for a voter revolt and a people's party. #debate
- Tonight's #debate showed why Americans are tearing their hair out over the establishment party candidates. #OccupyTheDebates
- Tonight we barely heard about the climate crisis, the greatest threat to human civilization in history. #debate #OccupyTheDebates
- Tonight we heard a lot of personal bickering between Clinton & Trump. We didn't hear a thing about student debt. #debate #OccupyTheDebates
- It's happening now! Head on over to http://facebook.com/drjillstein for my live and unfiltered Facebook Town Hall: http://facebook.com/drjillstein #debate
- Help us build a people's party by giving $5 for each time Clinton & Trump talk trash instead of real issues! http://jill2016.com/donate #debate
- The science tells us that we have about 17 years to cut out fossil fuels completely to avoid catastrophic climate change. #debate
- The FEC raised the alarm that Clinton and Trump's campaigns are both colluding with super PACs, violating even Citizens United. #debate
- Every time you hear Hillary or Donald argue over personal issues instead of policy, fight back with a donation: http://jill2016.com/donate
- We are not hearing anything about the consequences of these endless wars or the emergency of climate change. #debate
- Corporate politicians Hillary Clinton, Donald Trump and Gary Johnson all support(ed) NAFTA. @DrJillStein is the only candidates who opposes.
- We're now seeing many Republican leaders join Hillary Clinton in a neoliberal uni-party that will fuel right-wing extremism. #debate
- More Clinton-style trickle-down won't stop right-wing extremism. We need a people's party with a populist progressive agenda. #debate
- We need truly transformational policies that put people ahead of profit - like universal health care and abolishing student debt. #debate
- The Clintons' crime bill opened the door to today's mass incarceration that is deeply entangled with systemic racism. #debate
- The Clintons' support for NAFTA destroyed millions of jobs, including in Mexico where many farmers became economic refugees. #debate
- We can address the immigration crisis by fixing the policies that created it in the first place & ending support for coups & NAFTA. #debate
- Donald & Republicans have been the party of hate & fear but Hillary & Democrats have been the party of deportations & night raids. #debate
- Donald Trump has a record of offshoring jobs, ripping off working people, dodging taxes, and abusing women. #debate
- There's a civil war in Syria, multiple proxy wars and a fight over who gets to run oil pipelines through Syria. It's complicated. #debate
- A no-fly zone also means bombing ground targets, which will mean the U.S. killing a lot of Syrians. #debate
- Let's be clear: a no-fly zone means we'll be shooting down Russian planes. Between us we have 2000 nukes on hair-trigger alert. #debate
- Our interventions in the Middle East have created failed states, mass refugee migrations & worse terrorist threats. #debate
- The US needs to stop fanning the flames of war. We need a cease-fire & weapons embargo on the Middle East. #debate #PeaceOffensive
- Russia and Assad are not the “good guys”, but neither are we as we fan the flames of war and pump weapons into the Middle East. #debate
- We aren't winning anything in the Middle East - our wars are strengthening extremists from Afghanistan to Syria. #debate
- I don't know which one is scarier, Hillary who wants to start an air war in Syria or Trump talking about more nuclear weapons. #debate
- With both Clinton & Trump melting down under scandal after scandal it's more crucial than ever that we build a party for the people. #debate
- Both Democrats and Republicans are funded by big corporate interests including Wall St. Banks, fossil fuel giants, & war profiteers. #debate
- The American people are more hungry than ever for a candidate not mired in scandal and swimming in billionaire money. #debate
- The crisis of our economy, the climate, and our education system will not be solved by the old guard establishment parties. #debate
- Wall Street use to pay a transaction tax, it should pay that tax again. #debate
- Major tax cuts for the wealthy, which shifted the burden on to workers and the poor during Bush, were made permentant by Obama. #debate
- The spin is dizzying. The US needs candidates w/ the political courage to stand up and talk about real issues, not public/private doubletalk
- There was very clear evidence that the DNC definitely tampered with elections behind closed doors to smear Bernie Sanders. #debate
- The Syrian civil war is a complicated mess. The US has been arming "good" fighters but somehow our arms get to "bad" terrorists. #debate
- There is a refugee crisis created in large part by US military interventions. We need to do our part by taking in refugees. #debate
- Let's be clear, there's a massive humanitarian crisis in Syria, Libya, & Iraq in which the US had a hand in military intervention. #debate
- If we want peace at home we need peace abroad. It's despicable for Trump to bash Muslims and Hillary to bomb them overseas. #debates
- Bill Clinton labeled universal health care as the "craziest thing in the world". I guess every other developed nation is "crazy". #debates
- We don't need the insurance friendly Affordable Care Act, we need to treat health as a human right with a Medicare For All system. #debates
- The American public needs to hear who would make the best candidate, not who is the worst candidate. #debates
- Rather than discussing the policy that impacts us all, the corporate candidates insist on insulting each other. This is a disgrace. #debate
- I'm the only candidate standing up for what the American people and future generations need, not what billionaires want. #debate
- While Hillary and Donald might be occasionally saying the right things, it's important to look at their terrible records. #debates
- I'm the only candidate in this race not corrupted by super PACs, billionaires or corporations. #debates
- In contrast to the political establishment, youth and society at large are my number one priority. #debates
- Head over to http://facebook.com/drjillstein to watch me #debate Clinton and Trump live! Retweet if you'll be tuning in!
- “Jill Stein supporters explain why she's getting their vote” During the #debate tweet #ImVoting4JillBecause!
- Here's what we know: Unless we transform existing social, political, economic & legal systems, we won't have a peaceful, sustainable future.
- As necessary as social movements are, they must be accompanied by a campaign at the ballot box to get their demands into law. #debate
The Third Estate Sunday Review focuses on politics and culture. We're an online magazine. We don't play nice and we don't kiss butt. In the words of Tuesday Weld: "I do not ever want to be a huge star. Do you think I want a success? I refused "Bonnie and Clyde" because I was nursing at the time but also because deep down I knew that it was going to be a huge success. The same was true of "Bob and Carol and Fred and Sue" or whatever it was called. It reeked of success."
