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

    I have sympathy for your plight, but your efforts are better spent getting people in your state to pass the law than relying on Democrats nationally to do the right thing.

    Harris’ is not the solution ™ to your problem. The president is not responsible for passing legislation. Stop relying on blue states and fix yours. I know it’s hard.

    Look how hard you are fighting against someone who generally is just trying to get the US to stop arming a genocide? Can you imagine how annoyingly stupid this feels to be discussing? Murder bad mmmmkay? Everyone else: ‘its fine bigger issues to fry trump!’ i suspect you can.

    Now put it in perspective: if you cant get your state to support abortion what makes you think we’ll get the nation to? In order to get it passed nationally you need to get the support locally.

    You clearly have trauma and need help, sadly putting your hopes in kamala isnt going to solve your issues. I assure you if they havent been fixed by biden’s admin they wont be fixed by her being elected. Here are the conditions you’ll need to see movement:

    • house will need to switch hands
    • senate will need to remain blue.
    • democrats will have to end the fillibuster OR get supermajority in the senate.

    Guess how all of those happen? By focusing your efforts not on kamala but on your local elections.

    Learn to focus your energy stop fighting me and get off your ass locally. My lesser evil is fucking voting 3rd party because kamala is a pos candidate relative to my state. she’s 100% going to win here. So why are you wasting my and your time/energy you clearly gave more important shit to do.
