Welcome to Progressive Politics! A place for news updates and political discussion from a left perspective. Conservatives and centrists are welcome just try and keep it civil :)
(Sidebar still a work in progress post recommendations if you have them such as reading lists)
All I get from this is how Greta is putting us all to shame.
She's fighting an unwinnable fight in the face of obvious defeat ... a literal David and Goliath confrontation (and this time there will be no divine intervention) yet she chooses to jump into the fight anyway.
GOP always pretend they could do the same but would only ever cower and scatter like cockroaches at the first sight of danger.
I'm genuinely afraid for her life. She's throwing herself into a situation where the last people who tried got bombed. The Reich wing of the world would love to see her killed and I honestly think the vast majority of us would shrug it off instead of riot. :(
She knows this. She's not dumb. I assume her hope is that her death will enrage people enough to do something. That her death will matter.
I hope it will too.
She has already done this in the past, and she got drone bombed then too.
She's doing what she's been doing for the last several years. She is using the brand name recognition that the right-wing nutters have given her through their vitriol and using it to highlight whatever cause she desires to make people pay attention to.
In a very real sense they have turned her into a powerful media weapon for progressive and climate change causes. Because everywhere she goes she gets ink.
She's been doing it so long that Elon was liberal and they gave her a car to use for a US tour.
Not sure why but as I read your post I concluded in my head that it kind of makes sense because the only convictions they have, if it can even be called that, is egocentric, while hers are principled and selfless.
Lindsey Graham is such a disgusting human being.
Don't call that lizard a human
Thats offensive to lizards. At least they do the job of eating cockroaches.
Damn, his Wikipedia article makes it seem like he used to be a decent human being who cared for his constituents… up until a 2017 meeting with Trump where he was replaced by the lizard people
Successful, career politicians are chameleons. He's always been a pos, but went fully mask off after Trump.
ive said this before and ill say it again:
greta has balls made of red hot steel.
This is what happens when you just can't admit to the world that you want to kiss a man on the lips.
Greta has much bigger balls than Lindsey.
Literal imperial lapdog jeers literal freedom fighter.
Dumbass piece of shit talks shit about courageous young person.
I bet if you say those exact words when you see this POS get on a yacht you would be immediately arrested for death threats.
lol this is a primary school grade reaction to something you are jealous of. He knows he never had and will never have a fraction of the courage this girl has at this young age so just lashing out to soothe is ego.
You could obliterate the earth and Greta would be the toughest human in space
This is a good time for one of my favorite book quotes:
"You might not have more courage, but you should be ashamed to show less" (Golden Compass)
Wish Lindsey Graham would eat a bag of dicks and choke on one.
An entire bag of dicks would be a diet for this dandy.
Everyone on that boat has balls of steel. The last one got sunk. Go get'em girls!
Ok this is a clear call for murder by MAGA people
Are we still seriously hearing from this guy? Lindsay Graham is a spineless peice of useless garbage.
Mr lindsey, you should entertain your young male escort instead.
Does this coult as a threat, warranting a visit from the FBI? What would happen if I was writing "I hope he's bullet-proof" on a tweet about some public figure?
Doubtful. She's not a us citizen. And he's a Republican.
Fucking coward. Just sent him a little love letter, let’s see if I get a visit.
He could have said nothing. He chose to look bad instead. I think there's a BO smelling fedora around here somewhere...
I see you're focused on solving or country's problems, Lindsay. Or does pandering do the dumbass base accomplish that goal instead?
If something actually does happen, this post won't age so well Lindsey. Unlike ladybugs, Greta has cajones of steel doing this again.
