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

      They just compared this with Hillary Clinton at a table with Putin at a state dinner with her husband.

      So I’m out.

      I’m not answering how old I am because that’s none of your business, frankly. You can call me an idiot or a troll, I don’t really care. I just asked for proof of something and so far all I’ve gotten are replies about it being self-evident because “that’s how Putin works” or other various forms of non-proof.

          If the evidence is quite accessible, then why is nobody linking it to me? If you can’t back up your claim, don’t claim it. Again, call me a troll all you want. I’m not going to insult you. I’m just asking for evidence.

              Accusing me of sealioning is just as convenient as calling me a troll. I’m not sealioning. I’m just genuinely mystified at this “Stein is a Russian asset” narrative because there’s never been any evidence of it and whenever I question it, I get called a troll or accused of sealioning. It’s very frustrating.

                Then go read about Putin like you have been told.

                Not just the stuff that praises him. All of it. Don’t engage here on the topic because we are pointing to the same body of evidence.

                If you don’t want to do your homework, stay out of these discussions.

                  How about you link me to something directly so I can engage in the conversation? As I’ve said, I read the news and I’ve read about Putin. None of what I’ve encountered or come across when reading has been evidence of Stein being a Russian asset. You could’ve easily found something by now if you know it exists, but instead you’ve chosen to insult me, accuse me of sealioning, and told me to do my own homework.

                    I can point you in the direction of the information, I can’t understand it for you. If you read about the former KGB agent that has been using the dictatorship play book for a couple decades and can’t figure out how someone like Jill Stein is a patsy, I don’t have the crayons.
