Because reasons. Via Politico:
Jill Stein didn’t get invited to the first presidential debate, but the Green Party candidate is still hoping to cause a stir. In the hours before Donald Trump and Hillary Clinton take the stage, Stein and her supporters plan to hold a “Let Jill Debate” protest and subsequent “People’s Debate.” Both events are to be held outside Hofstra University in Hempstead, New York, the site of Monday’s debate. When the debate starts at 9 p.m., Stein’s campaign says she will “participate live in the debate on social media.”
