Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez Reveals Ridiculous “Green New Deal” – Multiple Immediate Backfires…

Posted on 02/08/2019 6:36:28 AM PST by a little elbow grease

Alexandria Ocasio Cortez, aka “Occasional Cortex“, revealed an energy and social justice plan today called “The Green New Deal“, promising a massive transformation of American society. However, the substance (full pdf below) is so ridiculous, there are many people now wondering if she and her allies were set-up by political opponents to make themselves look like fools.

The goal is to have all Americans eating sustainable algae cakes and sitting around campfires, barefoot, picking parasites off each other…. or something.

It’s a word - from “daft”, per dictionary.

“Scot. to act the part of a fool; behave playfully. Origin of daff. from Middle English daffe, fool from dafte, daft. Archaic to turn or thrust aside.”

She should be asked to pledge to forego the riding on airplanes and in automobiles as of this moment. She should promise to get to where ever she wants to go she will either walk or take a train. She will also have to avoid buses as they have internal combustion engines.

I doubt if she will even give a reply.

Let anyone come into the USA. Guarantee them a base income. 2 effects. 1 - People who are working for low wages quit their jobs and smoke pot. 2 - millions stream into the country and collect money and smoke pot.

Free medical insurance and care for all. Millions stream into the country for medical care and to smoke pot.

Eliminate fossil fuels. Industry grinds to a halt. Planes cannot fly because the cost of fuel is prohibitively high, now that the refineries have closed.

This is nothing but communism with a different name. Whites would be stripped of their resources and effectively eliminated. The country would become another Venezuela.

Unfortunately, half of the American public is so stupid that it thinks all this is a good thing.

You are right on the mark. This “crazy” latino as some call her is a serious threat, I wont underestimate her like Hillary did with bozo. Every Bernie voter will vote for her, along with a huge % of Latinos and black people. The education system has indoctrinated two generations of minds filled with mush, all they need is a pide pipper to lead them. She must be exposed for what she is at every opportunity, she is a communist.

The Bronx is not the only area in the NY metro area where this transformation has occurred. Almost all the old urban areas with undesirable housing has been transformed into these communities. The immigrants with a combination of government assistance and unskilled jobs, despite the old housing live far better there than in their native lands. The problem is that the second and even in some cases the third generation born in America show now real advance socially, economically, educationally or politically. They are alien enclaves within America. This is the reality of “diversity”.

Keep laughing, but if the democrats win in 2020 and control DC this will quickly become policy. This woman has millions of followers who agree with this sh*t.

Her Chief of staff, Saikat Chakrabarti, is a communist, and a Soros puppet. He ran an org called “ Brand New Congress”. That Open Society funded.

The “Great Tribulation” begins in 2021, so a Dem win could be “in the cards” if we as a nation fail to act appropriately.

The government and the education apparatus are running most everyone's lives.

I always thought of food stamps as the negative approach to self-reliance. Without self-reliance, you can be drawn to fantasy economic theories.

The only thing that’d make her smile is seeing blood - of aborted babies no doubt.

“End poverty.”

‘LBJ tried that and as a result created a welfare-dependent permanent underclass.’

LBJ did what meant to do, create dim voters by the millions, forever beholding to the dims. They play the long game.

There was not one person at DU that saw anything wrong with her plan. They all felt it was doable with just the evil Republicans standing in the way of Nirvana.

Hey, if they refuse to work, she’s got them covered!
