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

    You don’t get put at a dinner table in Moscow with Putin unless Putin has a good reason for wanting you there.

    He doesn’t just sit down with random people and hope they have a good time.

      Shit, and all this time I thought he just had a passion for entertaining!

        That’s basically what this person seems to be suggesting. Like she just happened to be sitting there and Putin and all of his closest people were like, “let’s go see who this lady is and what she’s up to!”

            I did not say it was a secret election interference meeting. Do not put words in my mouth. That’s just dishonest.

                Please name this particular group you think I work for beyond ‘people who don’t trust someone who sits at a dinner table with the dictator of Russia at a state celebration in Moscow for English-language Russian state TV.’

                    And you are putting words in my mouth again.

                    Please continue to have the conversation with the imaginary version of me you have invented because you will no longer be having one with me.

                    Try being honest next time. And if you want to know what someone thinks beyond what they’re saying, ask them. Don’t just tell them what they’re saying because you’ll probably be wrong.

          Except it’s not what I’m suggesting at all. I haven’t suggested anything. I’ve posted what Stein has said happened, which she says was a dinner at a RT anniversary gala where Putin only briefly sat at their table, no introductions were made, and no English-Russian conversations happened. If you have evidence of something else happening there, as you seem to be suggesting, then provide it.

            If you have evidence of something else happening there

            Ah, I see the problem. You aren’t reading my posts. Let me help you:

              I’ve read all of your replies. Why would I believe that happened without evidence? Have you proven that she’s networked with Russians or Putin? Suggesting something might have happened isn’t evidence of the thing happening.

                  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.
