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

    vote for the candidate that best fulfills your expectations as a president. i am against voting just for the lesser evil. there has to be a minimum requirement for whats acceptable else we are begging this corrupt system to shit on us as much as they want. here most of us are struggling to make ends meet and they are giving billions to murder poor people in other countries. and don’t stop there. boycott all brands involved in lobbying or supporting genocide, boycott any candidates taking superpac funding. boycott msm peddling bullshit while ignoring the real issues.

      Unfortunately, USA doesn’t have ranked choice voting. So voting for someone who doesn’t have a chance of winning is basically the same as throwing away your vote.

      Months and months of “don’t vote for Biden” and then “don’t vote for Harris” and then suddenly when the people like you who have been saying that are presented with the harsh reality that choices really are limited, are saying “vote for who you want.”

      Amazing.

        what part of it you don’t get ?

        harsh reality of what ? that we have to vote just blue unconditionally ? cool live in this delusion, but those fed up with dnc impostering are only going to become more determined with this current toxic campaign. the only thing other than “trump this stein that” we get from them is launching video games or snl shithousery.

        so again vote for the candidate that worthy of presidency else we are only lowering the bar each election and soon will have someone worse than trump forced on us by dnc.

          You left out this part:

          Months and months of “don’t vote for Biden” and then “don’t vote for Harris”

          I wonder why?

            because i don’t recall saying that to you “months” ago, i only joined lemmy few weeks ago after getting tired of ads and brigading everywhere on reddit

            anyway did reason these people gave for not voting biden don’t apply to harris ?

            infact we never even voted for her in this or 2020 primaries. she was picked over warren as vp because lobbyists blocked her as she didn’t took there money. she had like 200 votes compared to 3 million for warren. she is the dnc nominee because of superpacs and now we owe her vote despite her atrocious four years as vp ?

              And now you’re ignoring this part:

              people like you

              But I suppose if you take the part you did quote out of context, your righteous indignation works a lot better.
