No, she is exactly the product that the younger generation of Leftists are. Dumb as hell. Think they know way more than they actually do and try to preach to people. They are everywhere.
Socialism has killed more human beings in this last century
than mosquitoes and like all pesky insects must be eradicated.
and to the Republic for which it stands
one nation under God indivisible
with liberty and justice for all.
She's a plant to make conservative heads explode. Judging by how hysterical the right is about her every utterance, it looks like we picked the right woman for the job.
She's doing an awesome job, and you can thank Fox News for the hysterics from the wingnuts, as Fox never misses an opportunity to bash her, and the lemmings all start squawking the same talking points.
While some of the specifics need to be ironed out, the plan’s authors assure that this “massive transformation of our society” needs some “clear goals and a timeline.” The timeline is ten years. Here are some of the goals:
Ban affordable energy. GND calls for the elimination of all fossil fuel energy production, the lifeblood of American industry and life, which includes not only all oil but also natural gas — one of the cheapest sources of American energy, and one of the reasons the United States has been able to lead the world in carbon-emissions reduction.
Eliminate nuclear energy. The GND also calls for eliminating all nuclear power, one of the only productive and somewhat affordable “clean” energy sources available to us, in 11 years. This move would purge around 20 percent of American energy production so you can rely on intermittent wind for your energy needs.
Eliminate 99 percent of cars. To be fair, under the GND, everyone will need to retrofit their cars with Flintstones-style foot holes or pedals for cycling. The authors state that the GND would like to replace every “combustion-engine vehicle” — trucks, airplanes, boats, and 99 percent of cars — within ten years. Charging stations for electric vehicles will be built “everywhere,” though how power plants will provide the energy needed to charge them is a mystery.
Gut and rebuild every building in America. Markey and Cortez want to “retrofit every building in America” with “state of the art energy efficiency.” I repeat, “every building in America.” That includes every home, factory, and apartment building, which will all need, for starters, to have their entire working heating and cooling systems ripped out and replaced with…well, with whatever technology Democrats are going invent in their committee hearings, I guess.
Eliminate air travel. GND calls for building out “highspeed rail at a scale where air travel stops becoming necessary.” Good luck Hawaii! California’s high-speed boondoggle is already in $100 billion dollars of debt, and looks to be one of the state’s biggest fiscal disasters ever. Amtrak runs billions of dollars in the red (though, as we’ll see, trains will also be phased out). Imagine growing that business model out to every state in America?
A government-guaranteed job. The bill promises the United States government will provide every single American with a job that includes a “family-sustaining wage, family and medical leave, vacations, and a pension.” You can imagine that those left in the private sector would be funding these through some unspecified “massive” taxation. On the bright side, when you’re foraging for food, your savings will be worthless.
Free education for life. GND promises free college or trade schools for every American.
A salubrious diet. The GND promises the government will provide “healthy food” to every American (because there are no beans or lettuce in your local supermarket, I guess).
A house. The GND promises that the government will provide, “safe, affordable, adequate housing” for every American citizen. I call dibs on an affordable Adams Morgan townhouse. Thank you, Ocasio-Cortez.
Free money. The GND aims to provide, and I am not making this up, “economic security” for all who are “unable or unwilling” to work. Just to reiterate: if you’re unwilling to work, the rest of us will have your back.
I guess it's official. Maxine Waters is no longer the dumbest person in congress.
I don't want to call Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez stupid, but when she was a bartender and a customer asked for scotch on the rocks, that's what she gave them. Scotch. On rocks.
Lets face it, when you listen to Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez...it's hard to believe any human being could possibly be that dumb. Day after day, week after week-she keeps outdoing herself. The "Green Dream" is just the latest. Yes, she IS good for entertainment value, and a month complementation clips would be great fun to watch over popcorn and beer.
But really-it's impossible to believe that even today's Democrats can take her seriously. So, I have to wonder, is she a "spoiler" or plant of some sort-making statements orchestrated to make other Dems, that we would otherwise conclude are mentally deficient-look good in comparison? As an example-Sanders looks like an economic Einstein compared to her. Heck, even Maxine Waters almost looks...well, sentient.
All I can say is that you elected Trump and describe him perfectly . That’s why SNL loves to parody him. And she’s not dumb at all. She’s young and loves our country. She has involved herself in politics at a young age. She is excited and eager. There should be more young people like this entering politics.

If you think that is the case, then explain how she is going to make her pie in the sky ideas work.
She's a freshman uber liberal congresswoman from an uber uburban, young, uber liberal small congressional district thousands of miles away from me. She represents who elected her.
We applaud the conniption fits she's causing fear ridden, bombastic, right wing nut jobs.
