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

Trump has been running since 2016, so yeah, pretty close.

And frankly, even in 2012, her campaign has never been shy about taking help from the Republicans to spoil elections for the Democrats. Even if Stein isn't an active collaborator with them, she is at best a useful idiot.

dnc is spreading this bullshit as they can’t give people any positive context to vote for them.

jill stein has been climate cause since 1998 when harris was prosecuting poor people for petty crimes and advocating prison labor to save money in a rich a fck state california. stein actually left dnc when they repealed the clean election law to kill any pro-climate candidates becoming a threat to them. unlike flip-floo harris she has always been consistent to her cause.

this is just dnc spreading misinformation with the superpac money, showing there just as disgusting as trump.

It's amazing how the spoiler effect propaganda from the DNC gets eaten up so easily by voters when a better system of rank choice voting would prevent the thing issue completely.

If the Democrats actually ran on these issues you stated seriously and were not so spinless they wouldn't have to try to fight third party candidates from running in court to push subpar empty suit politicians through the finish line.

Even in their own party, centrist candidate Dean Phillips tried to run against Biden and he had a media blackout and was actively fighting the DNC while the power at be pushed Joe "just a stutter" Biden.

If Jill Stein is such a threat maybe don't push the 81 year old incumbent on your base and with no primary to stress test his viability. Then when his brain shorts out during a debate and he drops THEY STILL don't primary Kamala who's 2020 run was absolutely destroyed the second people started listening to her word salad no answer bullshit get called out by Tulsi Gabard's grifter ass.

superpacs love her because she has no spine to oppose them or if by some miracle she does then they will destroy her as she has no persona and a terrible track record for a democrat. she could easily have been trump’s vp specially with her now supporting wall and fracking. we might actually have war-prarasite liz cheney as sec of state to give the full gop feel along with most successfully done genocide with our support.
