“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

    They regularly called for the death of liberals amongst other horrible shit

    they are the same vocal minority as those on dnc side who have said if trumps wins then they want all muslims who didn’t vote for harris to be deported to gaza.

    they two parties may not be the same but they are both bad and corrupt enough that we need to start voting them out. after 2016 primaries i have no confidence in dnc to not rig the primaries against an actual liberal candidate again.

    there are easy things harris can still do to improve her chances but she is not even moral enough to disapprove genocide, progressive enough to disapprove fracking. she has failed upwards in the corrupt dnc as a token minority whose career has been of a smug prosecutor who has only looked down on minorities.

    but hey why not just run a propaganda campaign against jill stein who has been pro-climate since 1998.

      Trump fomented anti-muslim sentiment and literally passed a travel ban against Muslim countries.

      The RNC completely rolled over for Trump in ways far worse than the DNC snubbing Berny.

      Harris is not pro-genocide no matter how many times you say it. You make it out like decades of gloves on diplomacy with Israel is suddenly her fault.

      Trump is open to letting Israel do whatever it wants and while in office stroked tensions between Israel and Palestine several times.

      To blow off the fact that she would be the first woman president and to trivialize her to a token representative speaks a lot about your mindset.

      If Jill Stein endorses Harris knowing she is the only remotely pro-climate candidate that could win then perhaps she isn’t the piece of shit everyone says she is. I won’t hold my breath waiting.

      One side is climate change denialists and the other isn’t. Two sides of the same coin right?

        let me detail out the “tokens” here. do know that i am of indian origin as well.

        • immigrant : her mother comes from a upper caste rich family, whose grandfather was a officer in imperial service while many indians were being killed and jailed during its independence struggles. an upper caste privilege in india was worse than white privilege in US at that tie. her mother was able to come to here as an entitlement. so when dnc uses her as a symbol for immigrant struggles it irks a lot of indian’s whose parents have to escape india because of corruption and casteism and had to work hard get here and survived in early days.

        and then there is her advocating for border wall and getting tough on immigration so basically adopting trump policy from 2016.

        • as a non-white she doesn’t seem very empathetic to them : this is an article from 2020 in herrald when she was already chose as vp.

        she was chosen over warren (a woman) as vp because lobbyist and mega-rich donors told bidden not to. if not for that she would never even gotten to be a dnc candidate here in 2024. warren was 3rd in the primaries way ahead if harris. warren today would have won by a landslide today and she has already called out on genocide.

        so yes she is a token candidate from establishment.

        i am not even going to address other points as not voting or supporting gop. if a vp and presidential nominee not even have power of condemning mass killing of children with our money then what’s the point of voting for them. choosing lesser evils never works it only brings more evil as we saw in 2020.

        then there are stunts like this which confirms to me that she is just a lobbyists placeholder.
