I've heard of them. I've never heard of you.

Not exactly a good thing..... One of the problems with making a lot of noise is drowning out the voices of others on the same side.

Political capital is a thing, utilizing it in a protest that doesn't really accomplish anything but turning public sentiment against your cause is kinda a dumb way to spend it.

You say they're spending political capital. I say they're building political capital. They're creating a fuss. They're creating noise, which can then be turned into action. What are you doing?

I say they're building political capital. They're creating a fuss.

The people who think of this as a net positive are already supportive of climate change initiatives. So who exactly are they building political capital with?

They're creating noise, which can then be turned into action.

How? In what situation is there a problem that is more easily solved when people "make a fuss"?

What are you doing?

Not turning potential allies into enemies?

What are you doing?
