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

Haha they must be new to this, Jill Stein isn't running for president, she is running to split the vote like they paid her to.

[–] Diplomjodler3@lemmy.world 100 points 1 year ago (6 children)

Of course they know that. They're saying this to make exactly this point. While the average US voter will be entirely unaware of and oblivious to what some pinkos from cheese eating surrender monkey land say, potential green voters just might take notice.

[–] SarcasticMan@lemmy.world 36 points 1 year ago

If they haven't already, they won't.

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

[–] vanontom@lemmy.world 28 points 1 year ago

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.

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

[–] dogslayeggs@lemmy.world 42 points 1 year 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.

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.

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?

[–] leadore@lemmy.world 40 points 1 year 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?

[–] Gammelfisch@lemmy.world 35 points 1 year 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
