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

Jill Stein is funded by Russia. Every multicellular organism knows this by now.

Yup, even my friend Fred the Fungi was just yapping about this, told me to follow the money.

Good. I was apart of the Green Party, I left when I learned they were planning of running a candidate this year, when internally, we were floating around the idea of NOT running a candidate.

[–] [email protected] 25 points 3 weeks ago (4 children)

That's interesting insider info. Was the reason for not fielding a candidate because of this particular issue (splitting the vote)?

[–] [email protected] 37 points 3 weeks ago (2 children)

Can’t say exactly, it was just floated around, I’m guessing it was for that specific reason, but that was around the time I was thinking of leaving for other reasons, they are VERY unorganized as a party and it really, really bothered me. The way smaller Transhumanist Party seems more organized than the Green Party.

Probably because running a presidential candidate is a waste of money unless your intent is to split the vote.

Start local, gain influence, work your way up.

Edit - to those downvoting, the Green Party literally has zero representation, even at the State level. And you want to jump straight to POTUS. Riiight.

Get one state senate seat. Get one House of Representatives seat. Get some kind of representation. Then you have a bargaining chip.

Isn't it too late for it to matter? At this point, she's on the ballots that she's on, isn't she?

Especially for states like Oregon that are primarily vote by mail. I already have my ballot, and Stein withdrawing won't keep people from voting for her

[–] [email protected] 42 points 3 weeks ago (10 children)

Yes, her name is already on the ballots, like RFK Jr is still on the ballots in many states, but the hope is her supporters will listen to her endorsement. Just because a person's name is on the ballot doesn't force people to vote for that person. Some people have voted already, some will continue to vote for her out of protest, some will continue to vote for her because they didn't hear she dropped out or didn't care. But the hope is enough people will hear that she dropped out and endorsed Harris that their votes will come through for Harris.

[–] [email protected] 22 points 3 weeks ago

When I went to vote last week and saw RFK Jr.'s name was still on the Indiana ballot, I burst out laughing.

Of course she won’t. She is Putin’s puppet.

It is ten years old so you are not exaggerating.

That would be against the entire purpose of her campaign.

Havent they pretty much admitted that shes running cause republicans have paid for her campaign, to try and split votes from democrats?

[–] [email protected] 39 points 3 weeks ago (5 children)

Sheesh, you're a bit late, folks. Besides, Stein is in the race specifically for the purpose of helping Trump win, so she wouldn't listen to them anyway.

Response from Jill: Can you outbid Putin?

[–] [email protected] 35 points 3 weeks ago

Stein should shove off to fucking Moscow.

"Why do you think I'm running? Isn't this like telling me not to drink water to prevent hydration?" - Jill Stein probably
