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

Lol, you can't counter bless your heart with bless your heart that's not how it works.

Just because I told you you were wrong does not make me an asshole or disrespectful of your opinion. Jill Stien is a vote splitter, that's the original point. No 3rd party candidate has any chance of winning in any state and a vote for one splits the vote. Your condescending response and personal attacks don't change that.

Look, I am just happy you are voting and if you hadn't been condescending I would have talked more with you about it. I wish I lived in a state where I could throw my vote away in a form of futile protest but I dont, and there is a lot we could continue to argue about that point, but you decided to call my thought-out rebuttal "inane rambling" and then prove my point by stating that if you didn't live in a solidly blue state you would feel differently. So instead of engaging further, I gave you a bless your heart and walked away.

I am bored though so here I am engaged in the most noble of futile endeavors arguing with stupid on the internet...Fun fact, that's me being an asshole.
