Okay I went and looked into her acceptance speech. There's a couple of good bits there.

The following is clearly better than anything either Clinton or Trump have said on the topic of global terrorism:
Quote:
It’s important to recognize where this violent extremist threat came from in the first place. A global terrorist movement linked to Saudi wahhabism was an idea cooked up CIA and Saudi Arabia in Afghanistan to grow the Mujaheddin to stop the Soviet Union. And it has continued with Saudi schools – madrassas – that continue to be a recruiting and training ground for tomorrow’s terrorists.”
We can’t simultaneously fight terrorism with one hand, while we and our allies fund terrorism, train terrorists and arm terrorists with the other.

Yeah, pretty much this, and well put too. I mean the US is STILL arming Al-Qaida troops, how crazy is that? And they're not even arming them to fight against ISIS, they're arming troops that are fighting against the only pro-democratic multi-ethnic force in the area, the alliance around the Kurds.

We must end the assault on our privacy, on freedom of the press, on the free internet, and end the war on whistleblowers, and free the political prisoners - that includes Leonard Peltier, Mumia Abu Jamal, Chelsea Manning, Julian Assange, Edward Snowden, Jeffrey Sterling, and Edward Pinkney, whose only crime was to stand up against the theft of public resources from Benton Harbor, one of the poorest communities in the nation, by the Whirlpool Corporation.

Yeah, this too is a worthy cause that Clinton and Trump do not support.
Not saying I'd vote for Stein, but just those two points clearly make her better than Trump.
