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

    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.

      I mean she has been running since 2012, are you saying that she has been a Trump plant this entire time?

      If you are voting for Jill Stein it probably means that you have a distain for both political parties and want a candidate that’s not anointed without a primary to vet them AND you don’t want a authoritarian figure that will speed up our failing infrastructure and decline as a nation.

        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.
