Dr. Jill Stein, the Green Party’s nominee for president was arrested this week when she and her running mate, protesting their exclusion from the presidential debate, attempted to enter the hall at Hofstra University where Barack Obama and Mitt Romney were about to face off. “We weren’t sure what the consequences would be, but we were determined to clarify that it wasn’t just third-party candidates but the voters who were being locked out,” Stein told Salon. “will be on the ballots for 85 percent of potential voters, and those voters deserve to know what their choices are.”

Stein, a Harvard-trained physician, spoke to Salon yesterday afternoon about the state of our two-party democracy, the need for open, inclusive debates, and why she’s running for president.
