They’re politically inept. Anything they can do they half ass or don’t so they don’t make people mad, and anything they want to do are half measures that get blocked anyway. They’re one foot in and one foot out to try to appeal to as many people as possible and end up pleasing no one as a result and are now hemorrhaging votes. If they would have taken as hardline of a stance on actual climate issues as they took on supporting Ukraine, they would have actually appealed to youth voters instead of repulsing them with their appeasement. Baerbock has even said they will support Ukraine even if it becomes unpopular, so why don’t they apply the same standards to other existential crises in the same way?

Their conciliation is damaging to their brand as well as the environment. They need to do better, and I don’t think I’m alone at all in feeling that way as evidenced by their abysmal polling.

Everyone is dissatisfied with the greens but it’s everyone but the greens fault somehow. What’s the point of having them in coalition when this type of shit keeps happening despite them?

They could have blocked the destruction of a 250 year old forest in Hesse and they didn’t. They sat on the sidelines while cops kicked the shit out of climate protesters in Lüzerath. They’re a fucking joke. If the FDP finance minister wants to reject building chips for cars, then let him? Don’t let them use the KTF as a fucking slush fund.

5 billion dollars from the climate and transformation fund? Glad to see we’re really committed to using this money here to combat climate change by building semi conductor factories.

There’s an abundance of contemporary evidence that shows this doesn’t work but it’s basically a foreign policy meme at this point. We tried this in Iraq and it just ended up killing a bunch of children and had no effect on Saddam’s hold on power.

It is a term used to describe racists, yes. Which the vast majority of China fear-mongering is deeply rooted in.

Nukes are the reason they’re the same? India, Israel, North Korea, and Pakistan also have nukes.

Do we count disputes over territorial waters as the same as war? Are you actually serious with this question?

The Spratly Islands are China’s Afghanistan?

When was the last time China invaded anyone? Including China here is a baseless equivocation and basically yellow scare nonsense.

Trees are almost always planted too deeply and are males when dioecious species are used. It’s probably why seasonal allergies have gotten a lot worse in recent decades as most ornamentals are just shedding shitloads of pollen.

There are old climbers and free solo climbers. But there are no old free solo climbers.

He literally said the opposite of that.

But if he can’t be trusted and he’s coming for the Baltics, then you should be enlisting and pressuring the Baltic states to deploy.

Instead you’re letting Ukraine do the dirty work or you don’t actually believe this.

The entire war has been an escalating game of nuclear chicken for NATO anyway. If Europe is under imminent Russian threat, then you can’t be deterred by the threat of nukes. Otherwise you should just let Russia march through to Paris.

Sending weapons so Ukraine so they can defend themselves is logical. Sending weapons so they can defend YOU is shameful.
