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

      now redo the meme with harris at lever and put not sucking up to lobbyists & mim in the first track. we shouldn’t even be debating about this as requirement to be worthy of being a president.

          dnc made him viable because they are corrupt hacks who many people have begin despising after being betrayed by them repeatedly. obama got the most one sided victory in last few decades including many red states. but now they have magically became racist ? or is that they hate dnc and voting trump out of spite & anger. or just voting 3rd party or sitting it out. a reason why many minorities are not going to vote for harris.

          i always remember this clip from wire whenever harris start bullshiting on camera

            Nah, chief. There are only two viable candidates in most of our presidential elections due to how the system is set up.

            But keep making shit up and spewing nonsense for the next few days. Momma always said “stick with what you’re good at.”

                  i won’t piss even piss on the other viable option if he was lit on napalm. i have never voted for him or his party or volunteered for them. i have done that for dnc for last 20 years.

                  are you a coward who is afraid of some orange buffon and throw away your vote in fear to reward some lobbyists owned hack who wants to continue genocide that they have already being doing for a year, skyhigh inflation, mega-corp owned housing, wants to promote fracking and waste money on building a wall they were mocking in 2016 and sucking up to war criminals like cheneys who are responsible for thosuands of dead us soldiers and millions of civilians ?

                    So, you’re going with “coward” over “shill”? Good to know.

                    So here’s the thing, by not casting a vote for the only other candidate who has any chance of winning this election, you are inarguably benefitting the other guy. It’s simple, it should be self-evident, and if you’re having such a hard time understanding it, then that either makes a statement about your ability to evaluate the reality of a situation or casts doubt on how much you really are against him.

                    Of the two options on the table, and once again there are only two options in this election, any voter who is opposed to the idea of a would-be fascist dictator should be casting a vote for Harris.

                    You can’t “punish” her by withholding a vote, you can only make a Trump victory more likely.

                    Read that last part again, because you need to understand that it is a statement of the actuality of the matter at hand. By refusing to vote for the only other viable candidate, you’ve bolstered Trump’s chances.

                    Protesting policy before the election is secured makes as much sense as it does positive impact. Which, to be clear, is none.

                    I’m sorry for you that you’ve let your temper tantrum towards the admittedly shitty DNC blind you to voting in the best interest of yourself, your neighbors, and the country as a whole. It’s unfortunate for you, if you hate him so much, that you’ve facilitated him through your misplaced attempt to really show the dems you mean business. I truly hope that Harris emerges successful from this election, and that your mistake doesn’t expedite the fascist agenda.

                    If she does become our next president despite the best efforts of misguided fools, I additionally hope that you will spend similar amounts of effort pushing for meaningful reform in both policy and the administration of our elections as you do maligning the only candidate other than Trump who has a chance at the presidency.

                    But I’m doubtful.

      You need a few more rail forks downstream represent the groups getting protected by local governments. Which is the reality many states.

      Which also allows you to make more informed decisions.
