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

It wouldn’t be this close if Harris just came out against the genocide in Gaza. Instead she has shunned Arab and Muslim voters.
I am in Pennsylvania and I am voting for Jill Stein. Everything I could have done to communicate my grievances I have tried, including meeting with my representative who just insulted me instead of even feigning humanitarian concern.

These foreign discourse accounts really are putting in work. Anyone that can rub two braincells together can see through this bag faith argument.
If you vote for Jill Stein, you're voting for Trump.
It really wouldn't be. Trump would be clearly winning if she did that.

It'd be worse. Do you have any idea how much damage AIPAC would do? The majority of americans are siding with Israel. She'd get called a terrorist simp before she even finished her speech. It would be an unmitigated shit show.
I wish the american public was wiser, and recognizing how evil Israel is. But that's not the world we live in.

You're right. If she had done that, she would be losing and it wouldn't even be close.
Why do you think she'd gain more voters than loose by changing her stance on Israel? There are clearly people out there who support Israel otherwise it wouldn't even be up for debate. I haven't seen anything indicating she'd pick up more voters by changing her stance (which is still better than Trumps).
I can't imagine the votes she'd gain for denouncing the war on Gaza would be bigger than the votes she'd lose for going against Israel.
Yeah, I only bring it up because Harris' primary goal is to win the election. It sucks, but Israel is only one element of this election and the public isn't in agreement with it. Harris could even want to be more aggressive on it, but can't sacrifice the election.
At the end of the day, there are two candidates. In a fptp system, you've got to vote for the better of the two candidates. Not voting for Harris is enabling Trump and will only lead to a worse situation in Israel.
