A Jill Stein administration will:

Establish a foreign policy based on diplomacy, international law, and human rights
End existing wars, military actions, proxy wars and secret wars
Cut military spending by 50-75% and ensure a just transition that replaces military jobs with Green New Deal jobs
Invest the peace dividend in a Global Green New Deal to prevent climate collapse, and build toward universal access to basic human needs for food, clean water and sanitation, education, and health care for every human being on Earth
Close the vast majority of the 700+ foreign US military bases
Stop U.S. support and arms sales to human rights abusers
Lead on global nuclear disarmament
End unilateral economic sanctions that primarily harm civilian populations
Remove war powers from the president and restore Congress’ sole power to declare war
Disband NATO and replace it with a modern, inclusive security framework that respects the security interests of all nations and people
Demand an immediate ceasefire in Israel and Palestine, an end to the blockade of Gaza, immediate humanitarian and medical relief, and release of hostages and political prisoners
Immediately end all military aid to Israel and adopt sanctions until Israel complies with international law to put an end to decades of violence, illegal occupation, displacement, dispossession, apartheid, and ethnic cleansing
End the longstanding US practice of vetoing UN Security Council resolutions to hold Israel accountable to international law
Move to end the UN Security Council to ensure the UN is a true democratic body
Remove U.S. troops from Iraq and Syria
Stop fueling the war between Russia and Ukraine and lead on negotiating a peaceful end
End the embargo of Cuba and normalize relations
End sanctions on Cuba, Nicaragua and Venezuela that amount to collective punishment of civilian populations
End US interventionist policies that drive people to become migrant refugees
End the failed drug wars and stop regime change attempts against foreign governments
Ban the use of killer drones, robots, and artificial intelligence
Close the Guantanamo Bay detention camp
Ensure family-supporting wages and benefits for military service members
Fully fund veterans’ programs and benefits, including healthcare, mental health, housing, and job training, for a transition to civilian life
Protect the rights of service members, including conscientious objectors

The middle working class won't feel much difference in the ol' day-to-day. Grocery and gas prices go their own way regardless of who's president, so none of that stuff is attributable to the registered party of the prez in orfice at the time.

The best and only thing the republicans got going for them is the effect, in theory, of employment going up when the government isn't burdening businesses with taxes and regulations. Everybody knows about this conservative principle of the freemarket and it's a soild point. Also, a solid chess move for big business because it makes the economic prosperity of the country dependent on them being free and encouraged to invest and create jobs. Conservatism forces the government to let it live so the people governed will have taxable jobs provided by the free sector. It makes a democrat and democratic government reliant on the free market... something it's always wanting to interfere with. In fact that might even be mate. Yeah, it is mate. I didn't see that rook the first time.

Worse, Trump and his Nazis are close to winning this election, so a fantasy vote for Stein is a Nazi-enabling vote. Please don’t enable Nazis for the sake of a fantasy.

And Veggie will be interested to note that Hitler’s Nazis had yet to establish their death camps in 1932. But they were Nazis nonetheless.

Is it just one in the picture or is there more than one answer?

I suppose the clue would be in the lack of a plural...
