where were you when you had the chance to argue for bernie and the green new deal?

this was an enormous opportunity she missed out on, even the green new deal is too slow considering what we need to do to prevent the climate catastrophe.

but because people said she represents a movement beyond party politics (which is a bizarre argument), i cut her some slack (which i shouldn't have, cause it's about the fucking planet). but now, out of all possible timings, she decides to chime in for the war and fracking guy

this is absolutely horrible, and i don't care that she's still a child, if ppl don't want me to criticize her, they should criticize the idea of there being a child at the center of this most important issue in the first place

i am absolutely disappointed in what this massive, important, unprecedented climate movement has turned into. we should move beyond greta, disassociate her as the core of this movement, and start adopting a more fundamental, systemic approach to save our planet.
