Thunberg added that “no matter” which one of them wins, America “will still be an imperialist, hyper-capitalist world power that will ultimately continue to lead the world further into a racist, unequal world with an ever increasingly escalating climate and environmental emergency”.

Sorry but this is just batshit crazy.

Make a list of the world's 500 most greenhouse gas producing companies. Ask the board of each of them who Greta should endorse and they would unanimously say that she should make a statement refusing to endorse either.

It doesn't take much intelligence to realise that the least worst option is the best option, particularly when the people voting for the worst option will not be dissuaded.

I realise that most lemmy users revere Greta like the morning sun, but I'm supremely confident that if Trump wins a lot of "message voters" and their influencers will feel pretty silly in a year or so.
