Fossil fuels are very easily replaceable and while I’m a fan of nuclear power too she’s 100% right on green energy. People are just clinging to the past because they don’t know better.
Fossil fuels are very easily replaceable and while I’m a fan of nuclear power too she’s 100% right on green energy. People are just clinging to the past because they don’t know better.I didn't say she was stupid. I think she has lots of wrong headed (stupid) ideas IMO.
Met Gala in a dress emblazoned with the words 'tax the rich." All while hob-knobbing with millionaires.
The New York congresswoman said last year it is 'wrong' for billionaires to exist in the US and her policy advisor said: 'Every billionaire is a policy failure.'
Comparing migrant detention centers to concentration camps. Silly at best best.
She suggested that teenagers should ditch their disposable razors and instead use safety razors to combat climate change.
In 2018, AOC claimed: 'Unemployment is low because everyone has two jobs.
Dumping the Amazon Center in her district at the expense of many jobs (25K) and economic growth.
That Green New Deal isn't a deal at all and is mostly just massive spending with no real benefits. IMO. You are not going to replace fossil fuels without Nuclear Power Plants (like 200 of them). You are not going to be able to support electric vehicles in any useful way without fossil fuels and a huge concentration on building the electric grid and charging stations.
I guess you do have a point her policy ideas are stupid IMO.
The Amazon thing in her district per my memory Amazon added all the jobs they claimed they would without the tax break.I didn't say she was stupid. I think she has lots of wrong headed (stupid) ideas IMO.

Yeah she fucking negotiated like a pro and got everything she wants for free with no conciliations because she understood the value proposition.The Amazon thing in her district per my memory Amazon added all the jobs they claimed they would without the tax break.
Talent lives where talent is. NYC is a great source of talent for companies like Amazon. They don’t need tax breaks to build a new office somewhere.
Edit:
Check this out and post AOCs stance on this I fully agree. Business is going to do whatever is best for them at that moment. You cannot count on them to keep any commitments simply because they follow market demand & market forces.
1. Alright then, we agree, she is not stupid.I didn't say she was stupid. I think she has lots of wrong headed (stupid) ideas IMO.

Looks like naming judges is on hold AGAINFEINSTEIN HOSPITALIZED AFTER FALLING...
Senator Dianne Feinstein was at the hospital, TMZ has learned, after tripping and falling Tuesday in her home city of San Francisco.We do not know how serious her injuries are ... only that she was taken to a nearby hospital. We're told she returned home Tuesday night.The 90-year-old Senator has struggled with health issues over the last year. She was absent from the Senate for nearly 3 months earlier this year dealing with shingles, Ramsay Hunt syndrome and encephalitis.
Apparent minor injury after a fall yesterday.
America's leaders are so old and frail they need to be covered in bubble wrap for better preservation.
Come to think of it, I am surprised she made it out of a wheelchair. Probably going to be glued to one now.
She’s out of the hospital.Looks like naming judges is on hold AGAIN
She’s out of the hospital.
Some used to be. I remember being a teenager on here a decade and a half ago arguing for more nuclear power because I was worried that we were destroying our climate and getting told by Moonbeam that I must hate myself 😂I don't think anyone on the left is honestly against Nuclear Power..

Without a real plan for the storage and elimination of nuclear waste that stays dangerous for 250,000 years, I'm against nuclear power. Oh, Fujiyama ring any bells?I don't think anyone on the left is honestly against Nuclear Power.. though we'd like fusion over fission if possible.
But a lot of places in the US are prime for wind farms even if they're not good enough for solar. And it helps that the latest craze amongst millenials and gen z is not having to pay their power companies for electricity and instead just getting it from solar panels.
However solar panels have a shelf life, wind is forever as long as there is a low and a high pressure system!
She will be capable of voting?She’s out of the hospital.
Good point and see aboveAnd the Senate is in recess this month anyway.
She will be capable of voting?
Also Senate should have pushed the judges thru in an extended session however I am not sure of the status right now they may have
Good point and see above
Huh?Bigger problem is Durbin sill honoring blue slips when Rs don't if they have control.
Huh?
Currently, senators must return so-called "blue slips" indicating their support for any district court nominee from their state for the nomination to advance to a committee vote. The 33 groups, including the American Constitution Society, Alliance for Justice and Demand Justice, said home state senators' opposition should only block a nomination if a senator was not consulted by the White House on the candidate.
"Adopting this even-handed approach today would preserve home state senators’ role in the process while not allowing Republicans to delay or veto candidates in bad faith," the letter released Wednesday reads. The groups noted that the same rule was used when Democratic U.S. President Joe Biden chaired the judiciary committee when he was a senator.
Senate Republicans ended the blue slip tradition for appeals court picks under the Trump administration.
The letter noted that 41 of the 45 current district court vacancies in states with a Republican senator do not have nominees. The groups also asked Durbin to adopt other reforms, including requiring senators to say why they're withholding blue slips.
In a statement, Durbin spokesperson Emily Hampsten did not directly address the proposed reforms but said that some nominees for seats in states with Republican senators have had hearings and that "more are to come."
This is one of those bizarre self-owns that I wish someone could explain to me. Republicans do not honor blue slips so why should democrats? The entire concept is stupid to begin with.

Wind farms require a ton of maintenance also. Esp. is they are out at sea. Rust and corrosion are a bitch.
This stuff seriously hurts democrats and our democracy. Feinstein, Ruth Bader Ginsburg and others. Because of their pig headedness great harm has been done to hundreds of millions of Americans for generations to come. Abortion, civil rights, etc etc. Democracy may never recover because now we are back to square one, allowing the states to decide. And the harm has only begun. If a republican president is elected then it will be marriage equality, gay rights, trans rights and a lot more going back to the states to decide. Thanks Diane, thanks Ruth. You pretend to be for the progressive agenda yet you have enabled the extremist fundelmentimst agenda to flourish. Dare I say F U both...
