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

    This is such a backward comment I don’t know where to start. Tortured logic, the fact that voting 3rd party doesn’t send the specific message you’re looking to send, or perhaps that it’s all Harris’ fault that she lost while ignoring everything about outside election interference including Stein’s ties to Russia and conservatives all in one post. Bonus points for projecting that a large death of her base cares solely about Gaza and would be willing to suffer fascism instead.

    Can’t wait until these astroturfing accounts are retired after the election.

      Never said it sent a specific message. It sends one message: you didnt get this vote. I sent the specific message weeks ago, daily for 3 weeks to harris, and my local critters. This post is to counteract the nonsense spread about voting for the lesser evil and to give people an option to opt out of supporting harris without endangering a trump win.

      The message here for you is: jill stein doesn’t matter. Learn to focus your efforts productively. Its easier to influence one person (harris) than it is a million (people like me).

      Please reread my post in particular the 3 decisions your making atm and realize how absolutely useless your efforts will be here. Atm all you’re doing is broadcasting to everyone your okay supporting a genocidal candidate.

      Again if Harris loses thats her fault. Not mine, not yours. She chose how her campaign is run, what messages are delivered, etc.

      Also please watch this interview. Thinking these accounts are all astroturfing is going to hurt you more than me if harris loses. My state already has legal protections for all the things people are trying to use to defend Harris’ monstrous policy positions. They’re not effective arguments to vote for harris in my deep blue state.

        “Take a look at this video, which should convince all of you that trying to convince individuals is a failing effort.”

        Do you even read what you post?

        The way these people salivate over Trump hurting people who vote for Stein, I think they’re all bloodthirsty enough to want genocide. But keeping fighting the good fight. Just know that if Harris wins, we’ll keep having to pressure her after the election just as if she was Trump, and probably without the help of the rest of these liberals as they go back to brunch and wanting to ignore politics.

        EDIT: I’m not voting for Stein myself but I see why people are, and I think their existence is overall good, because it keeps you all and the people in power from getting too comfortable with the fact that we’re doing a genocide.

            It’ll be the same under both, just Trump might try to use the military instead of just cops and SWAT to fight the protestors. Either way, we have to fight against a militarized police state determined to aid a Nazi ethnostate complete a genocide.

              If you honestly think everything would be the same under either candidate, there’s more to address in your apparent divorce from reality than I or anyone else have time to entertain before Tuesday rolls around.

              Good luck in life.

                I’m guessing you haven’t noticed the suppression of protests and complete ignoring of their demands up until now? Talk about divorced from reality.
