Cotton says media was 'Stalin-like' in Ocasio-Cortez Green Deal cover up

[j brown's body]

Some of this needs to be done but it needs to be done in an intelligent, incremental, and economically responsible way. That’s not what AOC’s green new deal is.

Soooo, they compromise. That's how democracy works. But the other side has to bring something. Or do they?

I think it's the lofty ideal from which you craft something realistic. I agree with your approach though, because there are many considerations when transitioning from a well established energy source and its dependencies.

I would say no. Some things are just a flat no.

The GND is simply a non-binding resolution which establishes "goals" - much like a campaign promise or, as Pelosi put it, dreams. It is not a bill which either bans or funds anything at all.

But, it is very telling what direction these socialists want the country to go down. And, they really run the risk of looking like, well, socialists and should not be taken seriously. If they want to be taken seriously then they should put forth seriously attainable goals, not a socialist wish list. And, it further shows that lefties are never satisfied. You give them an inch and they take a foot. You give them a foot they take a yard. You give them a yard and they want to take a mile......................................................Today they want sensible gun control laws. Tomorrow they want to take all your guns away.

Otherwise, corporate capitalism wins and we all go up in flames. Sounds like a plan.

Agreed, IT IS SLOPPY and the draft was not ready for prime time. Our little 29 year old firecracker needs to do her homework, but let's not fool ourselves for even one minute.
AOC could be the most perfect polished lawmaker to hit the Hill in a CENTURY and partisan hacks on the Right will STILL be screeching bloody murder.

LET'S NOT FOOL OURSELVES.

Repeating for all needing: Let's not fool ourselves.

The government... shouldn't talk about its goals?

Not in this form, no. It's goals for legislative policy. And honestly, no party (or any rational person) would adopt this manefesto as achievable goals.

I like how American didn't write one single word of criticism about calling this "Stalin-like."

We may be able to find some common ground there. It's not appropriate for any of our legislators to use that type of language.

 

[dcsports]

Democrats are crazy! Next thing we know they'll want to fly to the moon!

That certainly would not interest the current DNC.

 

[dcsports]

Exactly, but AOC thinks that it is - after all, it is a House bill and may see Senate 'action' as well.

Pelosi isn't likely to allow this to committee, much less anywhere near the floor.

What? We've had corporate capitalism now for 250 years. We haven't gone down in flames yet, and we have the largest economy in the world. In fact, most countries infected with socialism are the ones that have gone down in flames.

1) No one is attacking her, or 'screeching bloody murder.' Laughing at her... sure.

2) She's getting laughed at because she keeps saying and doing stupid things. If she was polished, she wouldn't be doing that.

You guys are too much sometimes.

And you guys are not enough sometimes.

They are based on facts. Things Trump actually has said or done, or said he was going to do. Why are right wingers so ****ing dishonest?
Unlike just making **** up, which makes up99% of conservatives so called "arguments"

You are cute sometimes, when you try to actually make an argument.

The problem being is that many of you aren't even able to debate. The fact that a vast majority of posters on here that register themselves to be either liberal, or anything farther into the left than that, are actually just trolls in hiding. Is pretty much, a standard that has become cemented on the site.

-Russian/Trump collusion is turning out to be lie, just like we knew it would.
-Him destroying the country couldn't be farther from the truth.
-The spike in hate crimes due to Trump was also a farce and the only thing to have spiked was the faking of such events.
-Lets not forget that whole, white power hand sign debacle and his supposed love for the alt-right that the leftist children keep raving about. What a crock that turned out to be. Just like we knew it was, because Obama had made the same hand gestures himself.

The constant lying isn't helping you and neither is it helping anyone else.

So tell me again, how are the lefts constant ravings about Trump any different?

What do you mean "not in this form?" What, you want a sonnet instead?

 

[American]

Yep and Trump wanted the Great Wall Of Trump.

Oh, a never Trumper. sorry I bothered with a sane approach with you.

 

[Integrityrespec]

Media is Left and on board with Cortez. YOu cannot trust them.

 

[Carjosse]

It was only covered by every major news outlet nationally and many internationally, guess that is the new definition of a cover-up.

A manefesto presented as a bill/resolution. It's silly and a stunt.

If O-C wants to present policy goals for herself, that's great. If she can get her party to vote for it, fine. But she doesn't get to set the legislative agenda for the country.
