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

    Calling me a troll is an incredibly convenient way for you to get out from under the burden of proof here. Kind of hard to have a discussion with someone if they’re just going to call you a troll when you ask them to provide proof of something they’re claiming.

      Yeah, it is hard to have a discussion with someone under those circumstances. But when you refute widely known information because they don’t have an affidavit, you get called a troll.

        If it’s widely known, then surely you can provide evidence for it right?

            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.
