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 :)

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.
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.
Holocaust enablers and internet tough guys: name a more iconic duo.
Wish Lindsey Graham would eat a bag of dicks and choke on one.
I can assure you he is currently choking on one.
An entire bag of dicks would be a diet for this dandy.
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.
Everyone on that boat has balls of steel. The last one got sunk. Go get'em girls!
Lindsey Graham is such a disgusting human being.
Literal imperial lapdog jeers literal freedom fighter.
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.
Dumbass piece of shit talks shit about courageous young person.
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.
Personally, I hope he's not bulletproof
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)
He could have said nothing. He chose to look bad instead. I think there's a BO smelling fedora around here somewhere...
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.
If something actually does happen, this post won't age so well Lindsey. Unlike ladybugs, Greta has cajones of steel doing this again.
I see you're focused on solving or country's problems, Lindsay. Or does pandering do the dumbass base accomplish that goal instead?
Why does he hope they can swim? They're on a boat. Is the boat going to sink or something?
The last boat got bombed
Mr lindsey, you should entertain your young male escort instead.
You could obliterate the earth and Greta would be the toughest human in space
