“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

    People really need to stop assuming every Stein voter is a stolen Harris vote. I’d rather stay home than vote for Harris.

    I suspect the actual pushback is to prevent the Greens from reaching the 5% voter threshold, and making them a more viable party.

      This is you. You’re the middle path. It’s the scenic route to the worst outcome.

        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 ?

        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.

      Everyone gets downvoted from time to time. In this case the reason is that you’re pro Trump. Perhaps not in philosophy but certainly in action. Which is all that matters.

      Tell me you don’t understand a first past the post voting system without telling me.

      For real though, you sound like an idealist, a perfectionist, who lets good be the enemy of perfect. I don’t think you actually want a conversation - you want others to hear your voice and opinion.

      Yep.

      But you’re in lemmy.world, and the commenters here are just looking to pick fights with rational thoughts like yours.

      They are scared and are lashing out; I get it. But it’s still not okay. Randos telling you you’re supporting Trump is disingenuous garbage. They won’t care that you still voted in congressional races and local issues.

      I appreciate comments such as yours. Please don’t be dissuaded from making them in the future.

        “Rational thoughts”

        “A vote for a third party candidate in an election with two viable candidates doesn’t benefit the party I’m least aligned with.”

        Choose one. Both can’t be true.

        Ah, shit, I forgot… you lot are awful at understanding how binary decisions work.
