“The race for the White House is too close for comfort,” write parties from around Europe, calling on Stein to throw her support behind Democrat Kamala Harris.

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

    See this is your issue assuming we give a shit about jill or the green party. 😂

    We dont. it was just a convenient box to tick because harris’ campaign tried to remove her from the ballot, and fed their bullhorns the line about splitting the ticket. The vote would still have been cast for a different third party candidate unless Harris’ position was corrected. It wasnt so the box gets ticked away.

    Learn to properly focus your political energy: its much easier to get harris to flip than getting a million voters who have morals to flip.

    So unless you want what is happening in gaza: learn to lie to your politicians.

    1. Tell them you’ll vote third party over x.
    2. Follow through if you’re in a deep blue state.
    3. Hedge your bet by voting Democrats down ballot.
    4. Always lie to pollsters about your intent for any given candidate. The less reliable polls are the better. Means your letters to your politicians are more important.

        possibly. cruz is a little bit too nutty. might have also left the presidential ticket empty. I probably would have gone the latter route. jill was just amusing due to the harris campaign trying to get her rejected from ballots.

      Learn to read:

      The Green party isn’t a party worth anyone’s heart.

      You don’t counter this with “we don’t really care about the Green party”. Go repeat your argument somewhere that makes sense. I don’t care about the 5D chess you think you’re playing.

        I’m sorry you made an assumption about what jill stein represents to people like me who checked that box knowing full well who she is, what she represents and that it made your entire argument fall flat. 🤷

        Its not my fault you don’t get why harris is a shit candidate. we’ve been warning you for months now. thats why harris is struggling. not because of anything jill has done. I certainly didn’t make the democrats try to ban jill from ballots. now she just represents a convenient protest vote. if harris loses in the next 5ish days after the ballots finish being counted, well it certainly will be unfortunate. I’m 🤞 she doesn’t but we tried to get her to change her policies before it was too late.
