Green politicians from across Europe on Friday called on U.S. Green Party presidential candidate Jill Stein to withdraw from the race for the White House and endorse Democrat Kamala Harris instead.

“We are clear that Kamala Harris is the only candidate who can block Donald Trump and his anti-democratic, authoritarian policies from the White House,” Green parties from countries including Germany, France, Denmark, Italy, the Netherlands, Ireland, Estonia, Belgium, Spain, Poland and Ukraine said in a statement, which was shared with POLITICO ahead of publication

    Haha they must be new to this, Jill Stein isn’t running for president, she is running to split the vote like they paid her to.

      Fun fact: if jill wasnt on the ballot harris still wouldn’t have received my vote. Harris losing votes has nothing to do with jill being there. Harris’ struggles are purely her own fault, propaganda from Russia only works if there is a edge to grab, the only reason there is an edge to grab is because harris has decided to treat arab Americans absolutely horribly this entire campaign.

      Learn to focus your energy properly: on changing Harris’ mind not the voters for whom preventing a genocide is important. Trust me it’ll be easier.

          Oh! Oh I’ve seen this one in another thread!

          “I wouldn’t vote for either of them.”

          That’s not an option in this exercise, you have to pick one or the other.

          “I don’t see why I’d have to choose. I pick neither.”

          Again, that wasn’t the question. Harris or Trump are the only acceptable answers. If you have to choose one, which would it be?

          That’s how the exchange generally went. It shone a really nice spotlight on the ridiculous mindset at play.

      Of course they know that. They’re saying this to make exactly this point. While the average US voter will be entirely unaware of and oblivious to what some pinkos from cheese eating surrender monkey land say, potential green voters just might take notice.
