Green party candidate seeks Bernie Sanders backers,
PHILADELPHIA — Angry and disaffected Bernie Sanders backers have a new rallying cry: “Jill not Hill.”
That’s Green Party candidate Jill Stein, whose liberal agenda of tuition-free college, $15-per-hour minimum wage and a renewable energy economy by 2030 offers a home to Sanders’ supporters disillusioned by the two-party political system and unwilling to back Democrat Hillary Clinton.
“We are standing up together, we are supporting the Bernie delegates who liberated themselves tonight from the Democratic Party,” Stein belted through a megaphone to cheering supporters outside the Democratic convention Tuesday night.
