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

    People really need to stop assuming every Stein voter is a stolen Harris vote. I’d rather stay home than vote for Harris.

    I suspect the actual pushback is to prevent the Greens from reaching the 5% voter threshold, and making them a more viable party.

      This is you. You’re the middle path. It’s the scenic route to the worst outcome.

        You need a few more rail forks downstream represent the groups getting protected by local governments. Which is the reality many states.

        Which also allows you to make more informed decisions.

    • Everyone gets downvoted from time to time. In this case the reason is that you’re pro Trump. Perhaps not in philosophy but certainly in action. Which is all that matters.

      Tell me you don’t understand a first past the post voting system without telling me.

      For real though, you sound like an idealist, a perfectionist, who lets good be the enemy of perfect. I don’t think you actually want a conversation - you want others to hear your voice and opinion.

      Yep.

      But you’re in lemmy.world, and the commenters here are just looking to pick fights with rational thoughts like yours.

      They are scared and are lashing out; I get it. But it’s still not okay. Randos telling you you’re supporting Trump is disingenuous garbage. They won’t care that you still voted in congressional races and local issues.

      I appreciate comments such as yours. Please don’t be dissuaded from making them in the future.
