Election: Green Party is only viable option remaining

I am a 90-year-old voter, having begun voting back in 1947. Some 70 years later, who am I going to vote for president this year? Donald Trump makes me laugh; Hillary Clinton is financed by big money; Bernie Sanders made lots of sense, but it looks like the Democrats will choose Hillary and big money.

The only viable candidate whose platform makes sense to me, and who is for the average voter, is Jill Stein, the Green Party candidate. In reading her platform, I see all the changes she wants to make so that the 99 percent of us can live decent lives, as well as the 1 percent.
