Europe’s Greens ask Jill Stein to pull out of US election to prevent Trump victory
“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
You're viewing a single thread.
She won't.
Of course she won’t. She is Putin’s puppet.
I never get tired of showing this photo.
It is ten years old so you are not exaggerating.
https://www.motherjones.com/politics/2017/06/jill-stein-says-nothing-happened-at-her-dinner-with-putin/ https://www.newsweek.com/jill-stein-ties-vladimir-putin-explained-1842620 I'll never get tired of posting this in response.
You get that nothing had to happen at the dinner, right? That's not how networking works.
Okay, then prove that something happened. I'm not the one implying she's some sort of Russian asset with 0 evidence beyond a photo. That's you.
I don't have to prove anything happened. She was put at a dinner table with Putin in Moscow. Something that only happens if Putin finds you useful. He doesn't sit at random tables and strike up conversations with whoever he finds.
You put the rest together.
Putin and his regime himself are US ideas. They sponsored fascists in the name of realpolitik and are now whining they are making fascist things. The brave mujhaideen of afghanistan all over again
Vatnik delusions have reached new heights lmao
The current russian governement have zero interest to present themselves as the US-sponsored fascists they are. It would sabotage their whole legitimacy.
If you dont vote for stein coz she ate with putin, then you should not vote for the dems lmao
Had to reach pretty far back for that one.
Look. Nobody here is saying that the Democratic party is perfect. In fact, most of us are aware it sucks too. But, while we live in a democracy with an electoral college, and a two party system, we vote for the candidate who has the most chance of making a good change (but also has a chance to win). Even if Stein won, and she's the perfect person with all the perfect ideals and policies, she still wouldn't be able to do shit as president, because the president can't do anything significant without support from the house. IIRC there's not a single green party member in the house to support her. She'd be dependant on the DNC for anything that isn't awful.
Since she only pops her head out for presidential elections, and doesn't seem to ever do anything to grow her party in the house, I don't see this ever changing until someone who actually has the chance to win (due to the aforementioned electoral college) comes in and could be persuaded to make changes like ranked choice voting, etc.
There's no such thing as the perfect president, certainly can't be perfect for everyone. But if you have morals, and it seems like you do, how can you ignore the fact that you're throwing out your vote for someone who can't possibly win, in turn depriving a better candidate of your vote, when you know all that does is increase Trump's chances, and Trump will be worse on everything you care about?
Your evidence for Jill Stein being bribed by Putin in her sitting next to a German ambassador at a table, and Putin sitting down in a seat at the other side of the table?
The Democrat misinformation campaign is in full swing here.
I said nothing about bribery.
Why are you making up lies about me?
Also, pretending that Putin and his cronies just sat down at a random table where Jill Stein happened to be sitting is silly and I think you know that.
You made the assertion, so the onus is on you to prove it.
I did in my previous comment. You just don't like the fact that you are only put at a table with the extremely calculating dictator of Russia unless he has good reason for you to be there.
And if you expect me to prove that about Putin, you're just a troll.
Calling me a troll is an incredibly convenient way for you to get out from under the burden of proof here. Kind of hard to have a discussion with someone if they're just going to call you a troll when you ask them to provide proof of something they're claiming.
F to doubt what she says
No one is saying anything had to happen, but she was certainly invited there there for a reason.
You don't get put at a dinner table in Moscow with Putin unless Putin has a good reason for wanting you there.
He doesn't just sit down with random people and hope they have a good time.
Shit, and all this time I thought he just had a passion for entertaining!
That's basically what this person seems to be suggesting. Like she just happened to be sitting there and Putin and all of his closest people were like, "let's go see who this lady is and what she's up to!"
Ah yes the dude is such an all-knowing chessmaster chad dangerous dictator but he lets people take photoshoot of his secret election interference meeting.
Except it's not what I'm suggesting at all. I haven't suggested anything. I've posted what Stein has said happened, which she says was a dinner at a RT anniversary gala where Putin only briefly sat at their table, no introductions were made, and no English-Russian conversations happened. If you have evidence of something else happening there, as you seem to be suggesting, then provide it.
If you have evidence of something else happening there
Ah, I see the problem. You aren't reading my posts. Let me help you:
Well, sure. I'm not saying that Russians didn't have a nefarious reason to invite her there. It's entirely possible and maybe even likely that they did it because they saw a third party candidate as a useful tool to sow some sort of election discord in the US. But that claim would be entirely different than the claim that Jill Stein did it because she's an asset or that this was her idea or purpose for being there. I'm disputing the latter, not the former, because her attending a gala for RT is not evidence of collusion and this was the implication being made. I can find all sorts of pictures online of Hillary Clinton and other politicians having dinners with Trump or Putin, but that doesn't mean the photos are evidence that they were in collusion with either of them.
I like how you are completely overlooking the fact that I never made any actual claim about her being a Russian asset.
You kept bringing up the asset thing.
This is what I wrote:
The asset part was a complete invention of yours.
Did you know Clinton was a Putin asset too?
So your response to me telling someone I never said anything about her being an asset is to suggest I said she was an asset?
Are you reading any of my posts or are you just intentionally doing this sort of lying?
So are you saying she's not an asset?
You keep putting words in my mouth and now you expect me to answer your questions, huh?
Nah, first you apologize.
Of course she says nothing happened. It's like a child getting caught with their hand in the cookie jar covered in crumbs, and they will insist they did nothing wrong. Never expect someone to be honest when it's against their interests.
meanwhile in the same universe. the cheney are as big of criminals as putin.
doesn’t bill clinton has photos with Epstein ? its not like she is hugging him like biden hugging netanyahu. maybe he was there to poison her ?
anyway people voting for her including me will write aoc rather than voting harris if there was no third option allowed. enough is enough.
anyway people voting for her including me will write aoc rather than voting harris.
Oh boy, you'll really be sticking it to The Man with that. You're truly an important visionary, and everyone is totally taking you seriously.
What's fun is that it's literally impossible to write in AOC in Indiana because you have to declare yourself a write-in candidate here and she didn't.
I had four options- Harris, Trump, RFK Jr. or the Libertarian.
And I keep asking people like this who I should have voted for and who other Hoosiers have voted for. The closest answer I've gotten from any of them was a sudden heel-turn to "vote for who you like, it doesn't matter."
Trump thanks you for your vote.
Whose talking about any of those people?
as big of criminals as putin
Hang on, let me just dig up their rap sheet on war crimes.... oh, wait
Dick Cheney isn't running for president.
I forgot to ask you!
These are the four options in Indiana. No write-ins because you have to declare yourself a write-in and no one did. Who should Hoosiers vote for?
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.
vote for the candidate that best fulfills your expectations as a president. i am against voting just for the lesser evil.
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 ?

Of course .ml is gonna say this shit.
Clinton put Yeltsin in power.
The yanks are doing what they do best. Planting fascists and then using them as strawmen.
