Green Party opinion
Interview to Myles
Hoenig by Press TV
MY OPINION ON THE
QUESTION:
Where will Sanders’ supporters go if they won’t go to
Clinton?
By Hugo Adan , April 27, 2016
1st , I
should say that I have great admiration for Jill Stein, the candidate of the
Green Party to the US Presidency. I said before that this is the party with
whom the democratic socialist party, plus other socialist party already in
formation, will form the PEOPLE’s FRONT.
In my opinion, the only way to
defeat the 1% parties - the DEMS lead by Hillary and the GOP- is a united FRONT. It is that most people want , said the recent
poll, the Reuters/Ipsos poll “Some 71
percent of respondents said they would prefer to pick their party’s nominee
with a direct vote, cutting out the use of delegates as intermediaries”.
But Reuters-Ipsos didn’t explore the opinion of Sanders supports dissatisfied with
Clinton. I did such exploration
in 3 states and very few mentioned the Green Party as an option; instead most
of them opted for ABSTENTION if Sanders betray us.
To me, Sanders as leading figure of the Democratic
Socialist Party is my 1th option. In this option I considered the chance of a
FRONT with other parties -if he split with the Dems Party- starting with the
Green Party. Yesterday in MSNBC Sanders mentioned the chance of senator Elizabeth Warren as possible option for VP among
other female candidates, he said. By
saying so, he clearly admit the chances of splitting from the Dems party. I don’t think E.Warren was consulted .. I
know that she is tempted by Hillary too (perhaps to neutralize her). To me Sanders only mention her name because is the most
leftist among the Dems that work with him, but this lady doesn’t have a party
either.
We all need a registered party to run the FRONT and we don’t
know if the Green Party will accept it or not. I suggested: give the VP to Jill Stein in retribution for
using her party. I don’t know if this suggestion went through. Up to now, all
is in limbo.
Sanders know that a
democ-socialist party is in formation, but he denied when he was asked about.
So, for us there is a chance that Sanders will betray his socialist stand &
give up the votes he got to the 1%. He may called “loyalty” to such move, some among us are already calling this “chances
of treason”. This is why we are doubling
the work for cells and mobilization to streets. If
after the CA primary we don’t succeed in creating the Socialist Dem Convention
& get out of the Dems party. Then our 2nd option
will be the Green Party or Abstention.
I said clearly yesterday : IF WE
ARE NOT ALLOWED TO CREATE A 3rd OPTION, WE SHOULD ABSTAIN. Abstention
will be a conscious imperative and a moral duty to punish the PARTIES from the 1%. To me creating the 3rd
option implies a FRONT with the green-party and other socialists parties. Personally,
I do not plan to vote in elections if there is not chance to fight & win
with a socialist FRONT. For me, voting without PEOPLE’s FRONT is a waste of time.. I would
prefer ABSTENTION.

Here the art: CLINTON, TRUMP, SANDERS OR JILL STEIN?
The Green Party opinion
“[Bernie] Sanders wants free
college but wants to make student debt more affordable. [Jill] Stein of the
Green Party wants to abolish student debt as the US abolished bankers’ debt,”
Myles Hoenig told Press TV on Wednesday.
US Republican presidential candidates, particularly
Donald Trump, fear Bernie Sanders the most as their possible Democratic
challenger, but Sanders is not revolutionary given his support for American
wars of aggression, an American political analyst and activist says. Myles
Hoenig told Press TV on Wednesday that Jill Stein of the Green Party is a true
revolutionary politician in the United States, not Sanders or Trump.
On Tuesday, Trump
called Sanders to run as an Independent in the 2016 presidential race. Trump
made the comment after the Vermont senator complained in a Sunday’s
interview with NBC News channel, about his unfair treatment at
the hands of the Democratic Party.
“It is very
unlikely that Sanders would run an independent campaign. He said he
would remain a Democrat and is known for his honesty and integrity. To make
this radical departure, as Trump suggests, would kill his credibility. He never
said anything about campaigning for Clinton, however,” Hoenig said.
“The one candidate most Republicans, and
especially Trump, fear the most in a Democratic challenger is Sanders.
All polls have shown a large lead for this Democrat if he were matched up with
any on the other side. Both Trump and Sanders speak to the anger of the
American people, especially with regards to this being a rigged system.
However, Sanders’ positions are far more detailed than Trump’s and speak
directly to the economic and political concerns of Democrats, Independents, and
even Republicans,” he stated.
“For him to split from the Democrats would
splinter the already weak support that Clinton has,” the analyst
noted.
CLINTON IS A REPRESENTATIVE OF US
ESTABLISHMENT
“Clinton, on the other hand, represents status
quo and the establishment. Such a contest between Trump and Clinton
favors the Republicans. She is disliked and not trusted by many Democrats, nearly all
Republicans, and Independents. Only the Democratic Party machine’s
efforts in getting out the vote can win it for her. And with the scenarios of
an indictment, no indictment, or a stall in progressing with the investigation,
Trump, or any other Republican, would have a field day with her,” Hoenig said.
“One likely
scenario is that many of Sanders’ supporters will support Clinton,
whether he campaigns for her with his lukewarm endorsement. However, a very
large percent, some say 30, say they would never vote for her under any
condition. That is one thing that is
so unusual about this election. Regardless of positions, voting is often done
based on party loyalty. When Kucinich, considered the
peace candidate, lost to Kerry and none of his ideas were accepted into the
platform, not only did he endorse Kerry, a warmonger, but many of his
supporters held their noses and did likewise. Today, the conditions have radically changed,” he added.
SANDERS’ SUPPORTERS WILL GO FOR
GREEN PARTY
“Who benefits from all of this? The Green
Party. Where will Sanders’ supporters go if they won’t go to Clinton? These voters are progressive and untrusting of our
political establishment. The Green Party addresses all their needs and goes
much further than even Sanders on positions,” the commentator stated.
“Sanders
wants free college but wants to make student debt more affordable.
[Jill] Stein of the Green Party wants to abolish student debt as the US abolished
bankers’ debt,” he said.
“Sanders wants
to pay for single payer and education with taxes on the wealthy and their
transactions. He says nothing about the bloated
military. Stein calls for at least 50% reduction of military funding and the closing
of our bases overseas,” he added.
“Sanders votes against certain (not all) wars
but votes to fund them all. He even supports the murderous drone program under
Bush and exaggerated under Obama,” he
stated.
“The Green Party takes a non-violent,
diplomatic approach to foreign policy.”
SANDERS SUPPORTS ISRAEL 100%
“Sanders,
the first ever on a national stage, actually gave recognition to the plight of the
Palestinians. However, he supports
Israel ‘100%’ [that is not true. Hugo
Adan]. Many in the Green Party support a One-State Solution,” said Hoenig.
“Trump is smart to add fuel to the
fires burning in the Democratic Party. He knows it’ll be a tough fight taking
on Clinton and her establishment but very doable. No one other than Clinton
provides so much ammunition to an opposing camp as she does,” he stated.
“Soon, Sanders will become irrelevant. His supporters will be the ones changing the direction
of our political establishment with the Green Party taking the lead. This will not be a
victory for the Green Party, though, as both the Electoral College and the
House of Representatives, the only two groups who actually have a say in our
presidential elections. They would never give up power to a third
party that sees the 1% as the predators in our society, and those that feed the
two mainstream political parties,” he concluded.
[ So, why to vote for a Green Party without fighting for a
UNITED FRONT?]
