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.
Breaking news: people with an actual commitment to environmentalism recognize Jill Stein for the obvious Russian shill and extreme threat to environmentalism she is. More at 11.
You mean Russian Asset Jill Stein?
The very same
Russia controls ¾ of US candidates. Awesome.
A nation that sent his troops on an invasion without boots and helmets controls ¾ of the candidates of the most powerful and advanced nation in the world that spend 10 times as much money in war and propaganda than everyone else, that has thousand military facilities around the globe, that has the biggest mass surveillance network ever seen in history with satellites capable of snooping at every inch of the planet at any given time.
That's what you are saying.
I see these comments a lot and I’d like to learn more. Do you have any articles on this?
Well, start here at a dinner she attended in Moscow in late 2015:
Years later, after Trump was elected, she claimed it was just perfunctory, with no real interaction with Putin. She also claims she received no payment for being there, although we know Flynn received 45k from Putin for his attendance.
Then there is this from 2016 about Russian efforts to divert Clinton voters to stein. She also received intense press coverage by RT, Russians propaganda TV station, that was not banned in the US at the time.
Here she is refusing to call Putin a war criminal, a stance she suddenly recanted days later.
Here is evidence she is currently working with the GOP.
"Stein was reached for comment where she added: what the fuck do you think I'm running for, to actually be president? Ha! You're telling me to drop out so I can't do the thing I'm here to do which is help Trump win. You realize how dumb that is right?"
At press time, Stein remarked: "No, no seriously guys, we're actually a serious party that has any business running for the highest office in the nation please believe me."
I voted for Jill Stein in 2016 because I assumed Hillary was going to win anyway, and I was in a solidly red state so fuck it, might as well vote 3rd party.
Then Trump won.
Then I learned about Stein's backwards views on nuclear energy, GMOs and vaccines.
Then she turned out to be a Russian asset.
Then she decided to run again and again, knowing that she's only acting as a spoiler for the Dems.Boy did I make a mistake in 2016. I wish there was a perfect candidate for everyone to vote for, but unfortunately keeping Trump out of the white house is the best we can do. Harris isn't my first choice, but I voted for her on behalf of all of the people who will suffer under another Trump presidency.
Yep me exactly too. Though I vote in a solidly blue state, it won't change much but the dems have gotten better and all 3rd parties have gotten worse in recent years, so I have no problem voting dem this time just to take zero risks.
This might have helped two months ago. Thanks Europe. Better late than never I guess?
Europeans are confused by America's constant election cycle.
We're confused as hell how parliamentary systems work too, so fair I guess?
From a European perspective the race should be in the final quarter since it would have started two weeks ago.
Sort your own fascists out, America. JFC.
How's that working out in Italy and Bavaria? Good thing Europeans have historically been able to keep fascism in check before it gets out of hand, or I might start to worry.
Said a spawn of the British Empire that needed help to sort out European fascism last time.
Just embarrassing to not view antifascism as a global effort in general tbqh.
Some of us are fucking trying, and wasn't expecting any help anyway. I am sure Trump taking back over would have no effect on you...
When you're talking about an economy like the US, it's never just our own. Unfortunately for the rest of the world.
People can do more than one thing at a time.
Good. I was a part of the Green Party, I left when I learned they were planning of running a candidate this year, when internally, we were floating around the idea of NOT running a candidate. I am now a member of the Working Families Party.
Good on you, but I'd like to point out that you meant "a part" not "apart". Apart means separate from.
Thanks for the correction!
She's a Russian asset.
Damn, even people in other countries seem to understand what's going on. I guess they don't see both sides as the same for some reason. 🤔
I'm sure people in other nations are holding their breath right now. This election has huge consequences world wide.
I don't think she really has a choice this close to the election. RFK has tried suing to get off the ballot in a few states and failed.
Jill Stein responded "I will not abondon this race comrades!"
That's so sad. They think she's genuine.
"But I've finally gotten David Duke on board!"
So one single poll suggests this when every other poll seems to suggest otherwise (even then, 1% is well within the single poll's own +/- 2.1% margin of error), and the news outlet reporting this is the zero-standards rag Newsweek. Thank you, FrogPrincess, very cool.
Stein has the potential to give Michigan to Trump, and we should be worried about that.
The streets are extended gutters and the gutters are full of blood and when the drains finally scab over, all the vermin will drown. The accumulated filth of all their sex and murder will foam up about their waists and all the whores and politicians will look up and shout 'SAVE US!'...and I'll look down and whisper 'No.

She's hurting his chances, so I this is moronic. Mind your own politics you fried bread eaters.
What the fuck do I care what europoors think? I don't like Jill Stein but they should mind their own business! In America we understand that a country's domestic politics are only the citizens' business, that's why we don't involve ourselves in any foreign country's domestic matters
Jfc...
- It's their, not there.
- Climate change does not care about your borders. So of course actual proper Green parties care about green foreign politics.
- You're literally in everyone's face when it comes to other countries.
That's rich. I'm American, too, but the whole isolationist stance is bs. They are our allies, and whatever happens here effects them as well. You fell for the propaganda, champ.
Also, it's funny that you don't choose not to see how much our own country involves itself in the affairs of other countries. Every American knows this.
Stein pulling out wouldn’t result in more votes for Harris. It would just make more people stay home. I think they’re more worried about greens hitting the 5% national threshold.
Stop assuming these votes are stolen from Harris. She hasn’t earned them.
You're right. If they weren't going to vote for Harris, to me it sounds like they're perfectly fine with another Trump presidency and the decades of consequences that would follow.
Say you need a life saving operation. Your choices are: a skilled surgeon who is suspected to have cheated on their spouse, George Clooney from the hit TV show ER, or a mediocre at best veterinarian. This is essentially the state of things. A qualified person, a fictional character, and a person who is tangentially qualified at best.
The country needs a life saving operation. Harris is extremely qualified candidate who at worst carries some of the murky ethical baggage of any career politician. Trump is not only unqualified, but uniquely contraindicated (vindictive, foreign debts, exceedingly old, litany of bonafide legal issues, unrepentant rapist). And Stein is at best a politician shaped object, who is perhaps qualified enough to be a pundit or a podcast host.
For the safety of people of color, for women, for the environment, for the rule of law, for diplomacy, for the economy, there is only one pragmatic choice, and that choice is Harris.
