Ocasio-Cortez and the “socialist” left

Poll shows 81% support Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez's Green New Deal

When politics are taken out, rank and file Republicans are down with common sense climate action. But as the Green New Deal becomes more of A Thing outside of the left, it will almost certainly be used as a wedge issue by elected Republicans.

Which seems a little foolish, not only because the world will transition to a carbon-free economy, but because this is a policy Republican voters support.

We will be weaned off oil when the oil runs out.

That's just ignorant.
So tell me about all the petroleum based products that we can replace without any effort? Tell me how we're going to fuel UPS trucks to move freight? How will planes fly? If there was a viable alternative to oil why haven't we replaced oil already? And why is it that the political heavyweights and movie stars who are trying to save the planet not given up their private jets? Lead by example if you want to change the world.

I think even suggesting that we would completely stop using oil is just flat out stupid.

Since you are literally the only person bringing up that suggestion...... Well, even you can figure that one out.

So what exactly are you suggesting?
It's funny, the article I posted said when you take politics out of it, most people support a new deal style program to modernize our energy infrastructure.

You saw the name of a Democrat, and proved their point. You didn't even bother reading it because you think your team is against it.

Sad.
