Oh stop it already. She didn't say the world was going to end. Here's she said.
"I think that the part of it that is generational is that millennials and Gen-Z and all these folks that come after us are looking up and we’re like, ‘the world is going to end in 12 years if we don’t address climate change and your biggest issue is–your biggest issue is ‘how are we going to pay for it?'”
Apparently you're so old that you don't realize the words, "we're like" always precedes a metaphor. It's an expression that's pretty old already, Gen-X or older. Only someone that's clueless and out of touch wouldn't know this.
"The world’s leading climate scientists have warned there is only a dozen years for global warming to be kept to a maximum of 1.5C, beyond which even half a degree will significantly worsen the risks of drought, floods, extreme heat and poverty for hundreds of millions of people."
AOC is smart, sharp, young and hip. She is the face of the new generation that's fed-up with the oligarchs, racists and climate deniers and others of this ilk that infest today's GOP. The handwriting is on the wall. So go ahead and keep misconstruing her words if it makes you feel better, because it's all you got. She ain't going away.
It's 'Val-speak', and it's an ignorant way of expressing oneself.
The millennials in my family (who are all more highly educated than AOC) don't use that speech pattern.
The Westchester princess turned Bronx home gurl, and former bartender, now tells us that the world is going to end in just 12 years if we don't "address climate change". Says like... like..... WWII. And it gets better, we don't need a plan to pay for whatever she comes up with.
The only female in the Kardashian family who has a degree is Kourtney.
Yet every member of the family is worth a minimum of $30 million they are the epitome of the American dream. Came from a poor immigrant family to where they are now. I can guarantee there's thousands of folks with p.h.ds that are still struggling. So why does one look down on them for not having a degree?

I have no idea, Democrats and leftists keep bringing up and mocking those without a degree.

She's also now the spokes person for all under 29.
This is the future of the Democrat party. The video speaks for itself.
(Even Al Gore is shocked)
I rather listen to her than Individual 1 tries to prove his point that there is no climate change since he doesn't know the difference between climate and weather. He is the president yet your focus is on a newly elected Congresswoman. If we post everything stupid Individual 1 says, the whole forum would be full.
