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

    mmmmmm; probably would have been shot in the war fighting against it more honestly. let me know when harris can single handedly pass abortion rights on her own that the discussion can go somewhere. as I said the fastest route to protecting access is via state legislatures. hence why what 8 states have it on the ballot this year? would I prefer it federally? sure. sadly for you all my reps already support such a position and I doubt trump would block it if the bill passed. but since such a bill won’t pass congress shrug.

    Its not a compelling reason by itself to vote for harris; since you know… she can’t single handedly make it happen.

      1. She can appoint Supreme Court Justices that can re-instate Roe V. Wade

      2. Voting for Harris means voting for a blue congress assuming you voted down ballot

      3. https://www.propublica.org/article/nevaeh-crain-death-texas-abortion-ban-emtala - This woman was murdered because of people with your kind of “Not my problem attitude”

      4. You say you’d have been shot fighting against segregation, but you can only say this with hindsight having lived in a world where you were already told it was wrong. Judging by your current actions, if segregation was already the status quo you’d just say that black people should solve their own problems despite the fact that attempts for “Colored-Only Areas” as they were called back then to create a “Black Wallstreet” were met with white police officers burning down “Black Wallstreet”
