Swedish climate activist Greta Thunberg on Friday labelled Donald Trump the "more dangerous" option in next week's US presidential election but slammed the incumbent administration for its support of Israel.
Wow, Greta uses her recognition to point out the whole thing is a mess and there’s no great choices, and more importantly it’s up to people to not quit after their vote and actively and continuously push for change…
And already there’s posters making fun of her. Maybe they just read the headline and not the full text…as per internet tradition.
There’s always been a polarity even at the start. Smaller one issue groups would end up merging with one of the major ones. It has gotten far worse though, ironically in the age of information where people should be able to discuss and learn about topics better. I think we broke something.
Very few people care enough to read her nuanced opinion, and those people will be democrat voters anyway.
To anyone that needed to hear her message she just said “both sides are shit right now, and everyone’s shit is emotional right now”.
Elections are lost with complex messaging.
Gretas problem generally is that she looks great to intelligent progressive young activists, but she just makes everyone else feel… chagrined I guess. What I mean is that she’s incapable of changing the opinions of the people who need to change their opinions.

And US politics has become a team sport.

Well she’s pretty much wasted her influence here.

Maybe she disagrees with “who needs their opinions changed”.
Great.
She’s not reaching any of those people. She’s handing out candy to fat kids who think she’s amazing
