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

      Repeating things isn’t providing evidence. As I’ve said in another comment, being at a dinner table with someone isn’t evidence of collusion. Putin sitting at a table with someone, even if he’s the one who chose to seat himself there, isn’t evidence that that person is colluding with him. He’s sat at dinner tables with Hillary Clinton. Does that mean Clinton is a Russian asset? You’d recognize that claim as absurd without evidence surely?

        You’re comparing the First Lady at a state dinner to this, which was a celebration of Russian state media’s English-language propaganda channel.

        Yep. You’re a troll.

          Oh, but as you’ve said, nothing has to happen at a dinner right? They could’ve networked outside of the dinner. In fact, Clinton has had many closed door conversations with Putin, whereas Stein hasn’t spoken with him at all to my knowledge. See how disingenuous that is? And how it makes having a conversation about this a little difficult? As does calling me a troll because you have 0 evidence.

            Clinton actually worked for the government therefore has reason to meet with the leaders of foreign nations.

            Stein is a physician. I’m pretty certain Russia has doctors. She had no reason to be there among the others.
