I call BS. I don't think you watched Meet the Press with Chuck Todd yesterday.

Here is a transcript from the show. Why don't you look at it and highlight every sentence from Chuck Todd that was bashing Trump? Trump's name is hardly even mentioned!

If the OP is being honest, it's one anecdotal couple and not reflective of "all liberals" like the OP is trying to leverage.

If they are not being honest, then oh well.

In either case it matters not as any sort of legitimate argument.

Isn't this something you would want to verify before you post about it?
https://www.politifact.com/factcheck...el-florida-se/

Read The Green New Deal yourself. It's only 14 pages. There is no mention of planes in any capacity.

Transportation is mentioned twice:

On page 3:
Whereas the United States is currently experiencing several
related crises, with—(1) life expectancy declining while basic needs, such as clean air, clean water, healthy food, and adequate health care, housing, transportation, and education, are inaccessible to a significant portion of the United States population;

On Page 9:
[taken from further up on page 7] (2) the goals described in subparagraphs (A)
through (E) of paragraph (1) (referred to in this resolution as the ‘‘Green New Deal goals’’) should be accomplished through a 10-year national mobilization (referred to in this resolution as the ‘‘Green New Deal mobilization’’) that will require the following goals and projects—

(H) overhauling transportation systems in the United States to remove pollution and greenhouse gas emissions from the transportation sector as much as is technologically feasible, including through investment in—
(i) zero-emission vehicle infrastructure and manufacturing;
(ii) clean, affordable, and accessible public transit; and
(iii) high-speed rail;

Once again, there is no mention of planes or air travel in any capacity, let alone banning it. What they do advocate is increased investment in more environmentally friendly options as much as is technologically feasible.

I don't like the green new deal but I like to travel to Europe. We were thinking about it this year too. Sucks to have those plans altered. Is it the end of the world? No, but some of us who are a little more conservative love traveling abroad. Not sure what your point is?

No one believes you have a liberal friend. No one. You are just making things up, as usual.

Do you understand that it's possible to favor the overall concept of green initiatives without agreeing with every single thing?

Ah, I don't know, this sounds like a conveniently made up story to me. When you inserted that "liberal" word, it casts a real doubt on the validity of this story.
