between her and Pelosi? I do. I think her proposals are far too extreme and scream "lets throw it on the wall and see what sticks". No planes? No farting cows? Guaranteed jobs? link |

I skimmed the article. Seems like a lot of fluff and very little substance. typical politician speak.
If you can't have a feasible plan on HOW to accomplish something, don't try to mandate an end result.

I think AOC has zero power in the house other than her one vote. Pelosi wins, every time.
While I agree with AOC and others that we need to be taking swift and drastic action on climate change, I think the GND resolution is very far-fetched and certainly not likely to result in many laws.
Hopefully what it does do is to start conversations on these topics, because clearly we need to do something. And yes, we also need to be moving on the issues of health care, the cost of higher education, and income inequality, because the status quo is not good for our workforce.

I want everything in the GND addressed -eventually - even if I don't want some (or even most) of the solutions being floated at the moment. And, truly, AOC & her Co aren't really floating real-time solutions (ETA re some of the science issues), which makes it hard to get too excited about. What I don't want is for the Dems to hold this specific GND up like it's the one and only way for a Dem to prove he/she is a worthy presidential candidate. The party needs to stay strong and not become divided, certainly not over something as ethereal as the idea-laden but solution-light GND. Let's not punish candidates who see the logic in pursuing ideas that are more attainable in the short run, in addition to championing the lofty goals of the GND. |
