Ocasio-Cortez said that politicians who aren’t proposing ambitious solutions are harming the effort. “If you think a carbon tax alone is going to fix climate change, you’re part of the problem,” she said. We basically need to propose a solution on the scale and of the magnitude of the problem. We have one shot. … To be very frank, people didn’t try. For 30 or 40 years, they wrung their hands and said it’s too complex. And now people are dying.”

Twelve years - startingggg now!

“And now people are dying.”

If people are dying doesn’t that reduce the population and eliminate more sources of carbon?

If you went to the typical working-class guy and said ‘we need to spend a thousand dollars of your money’....meaning it’s personally coming out of his bank account, the first response is ‘on what’.

You’d have to lay out this expense, and make it logical. The roof has a leak and we are going to do ‘A’ and ‘B’ to resolve the leak. So then you ask....is this the permanent fix or the temporary fix?

Then you’d ask about the rating for this roofer. Is it a Mexican no-name roofer doing this with no guarantee? Is this a local guy who has a reputation? Is this someone under the age of 21? Does the roofer even speak English?

At the end of this chat...then you will agree or disagree on the thousand dollar expense.

In this case, AOC is talking about 75-odd TRILLION (with the T) in expenses, and to be truthful....it would take thirty years of questions and answers for a working class guy to assess this...either accepting this or refusing it. Beyond the beltway...logical working class people just aren’t going to buy into this.

The Republicans should jump on board this plan and the first step should be a Bill Requiring All Members of CONgress exclusively use Non Carbon Emitting forms of Transportation in Perpetuity, with Serious Felony consequences for any violators.

And now people are dying.”


Dear Sandy,
People have been dying for as long as people have existed - usually after 75-85 years ...

So the Unborn Baby Killer Party wants me to care about people dying?

Sorry, I find myself unmoved.

Perhaps Mother Earth decided she no longer wanted people.

Who is dying specifically from “climate change”, Occasional Cortex??

Who is dying, where are they dying?

Oh yeah, that’s right, every storm, hurricane, hot spell, cold spell, drought and heavy rainfall ALL are now being caused by “climate change.” There’s no such thing as normal weather or climate patterns anymore.

What a stupid colossal DUMB@SS.

Not all Democrat voters are demanding a Green New Deal, and the more moderate Democrat legislators are sensitive to this little nuance.

So AO-C manages to get a number of these more moderate Democrats primaried, replacing them with with “reliable” Green New Deal partisans, this should play well with the remaining moderate Democrat and the independent voters in that district. The Republicans had better make sure they field somebody who can take up the opposing positions to the Green New Deal.

If AO-C is only going to have one shot - make her miss.

Democrat hopes might be crashed, the world won’t be.

At this point, the Communist loons have taken over the Liberal Party and the remaining Dems who can still think on their own are now captives. Will they defect? For years, academia has nurtured the snowflake Communists on their campuses and now they are reaping what they have sown. Academia is now like the mad chemist in his lab, he is about to blow himself up and all those around him. It’s too late to stop it.

Arguably, AOC’s “fantasy Green Deal” has done one thing for our side (Trumpsters).

It has reduced the HATE TRUMP NEWS every hour of every day and instead focused it on Socialists/Communists FANTASY, in their dark hearts for at least a hundred years, about obliterating the United States of America.

Of course they are shying away from the Green Deal. They want you to vote on what they say. Not on what their party actually does.

“I’ve been in the Senate for a quarter of a century"

And for decades under wealthy Feinstein, our wide open borders have been a lawless violent conga-line of millions entering our country illegallly at will, as the tax payers are held at gun point and forced to pay for and subsidize it.

Feinstein is a loser and a flat out disgrace.
