AOC unveiling the goals of a Green New Deal to combat climate change

[The Big Dunn]

Is she working for China or Russians?
USA stops using fossil fuels, airplanes, automobiles, cows, etc. Then, our economy would spiral to worse disaster than Venezuela because it can no longer compete. China and Russia would then have all the fuels, engines, factories, cows, etc and would be taking over the USA because Cortez hocked our last belongings to take care of all those who are unwilling to work. Meanwhile, the environment gets worse because china, Russia, and others probably don't even have the regulations we had to start with.*
Environmental over-regulation tends to just hurt USA and help our enemies imo.

Does anyone have common sense anymore? Or are we just living is some dream land where the rest of the world follows everything we do?

It's fine if you disagree with her position but going with the doomsday scenario in response to every policy initiative she puts forward is just stupid. Obviously companies would come up with new technology that is less dependent on fossil fuel. It's equally obvious that any progress we made wouldn't in any way jeopardize our economy or make it collapse.

You ask about common sense, how about you use some when arguing against policies you don't agree with.

I don't think AOC will last long in politics. It doesn't appear that she has the acumen to successfully swim political waters. The shіt she's proposing is pissing off many people in her own party. Republicans are on the sideline silently cheering for her.

If her policies are angering Dems, why wouldn't you take a look at them since you don't like the policies Dems employ?

You said you are against Obama care because of the costs. Doesn't her Medicaid for all address that issue you discussed? if so, why are you not willing to consider it?

whats that saying? those who change the world are those who are crazy enough to believe that they can.

Hey man she is ambitious and trying to do what she thinks is right, will she succeed or fail who knows, time will tell and the people will speak.

yeah i hear, would you be happy with a flying ban?

... and, in fact, all international air and maritime transports are on fossil fuel...

The Energy 202: Green protests at Pelosi's office signal rift over Democratic climate strategy

On Tuesday, about 200 young activists protested in the office of Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.). Their demand: That the expected House speaker take the threat of climate change as seriously as they do.

The climate demonstrators were joined by one of the new faces of the party's progressive wing, Rep.-elect Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-N.Y.), who ousted 10-term Rep. Joseph Crowley in a Democratic primary. “Should Leader Pelosi become the next speaker of the House, we need to tell her that we’ve got her back in showing and pursuing the most progressive energy agenda that this country has ever seen,” Ocasio-Cortez said during the sit-in in Pelosi's office, where 51 activists were arrested by Capitol Police.

Lol she protesting at Pelosi's office now too, she's got balls but i doubt if she's going to last long behaving like this, well and good for Trump,let the dems fight in house

... I don't even need to read such documents...

If she could accomplish even half of that, she would bankrupt the country and we'd all be eating our pets. But even if a socialist like her were to fail, her party would make excuses for her and support her to the end. After all, it's not their money.
