    She had plenty to say about three candidates during the US election, which has had a big impact on Europe and the rest of the world.

      Yes of course. But she doesn’t need to appeal to the American electorate for her job. I’m not sure what point you think you’re making?

          He, and I, want to know why you’re comparing a Swedish environmental activist to an American politician?

                God this is tedious.

                Of everything I’ve said, the comparison to American politicians is really the part you want to dispute?

                I don’t really care if you don’t find the comparison relevant.

                  It’s not tedious, it’s infuriating. Why are you comparing two politicians who have done fuck all about the genocide of Palestinians to an environmental activist that’s is involved in supporting Palestinians?

                    Because I didn’t realise you would only accept examples if activists who are active on the same issues as Greta?

                    AOC and Bernie have become the focal point of a movement and attract tens of thousands of people to see them everywhere they go.

                    Greta has ignited the passions of several redditors and soothed their existential dread.

                    It’s true they’re not really comparable, but that was my point I guess.
