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

      To be fair…

      …to the injudicious enabler of fascists, it is pretty shitty to suggest “I hope they come for you first,” even if the point is meant to be “you helped make the bed, so I hope you’ll be on the early access list to lie in it.”

      Might be a little better to say, “I hope I can stop them from rounding you up even though you didn’t vote to keep them from being able to try.”

      Based on the other things they’re posting, I doubt it’s sarcasm. This person wants harm to come to people who vote third party. If not, they can reply to this clarifying otherwise or edit their original comment and I’ll happily stand corrected.
