To Democratic supporters, the Green New Deal is a touchstone, a call to arms to combat climate change with the full measure of the nation's resources and technological might. "A mission to save all of creation," in the words of Massachusetts Sen. Edward Markey, one the plan's lead authors.
The plan has broad support among Democratic activists, and all six of the 2020 presidential contenders serving in the Senate have signed on as co-sponsors, putting it at the forefront of the party's sprawling primary race. Utah Rep. Rob Bishop went further, calling the proposal "tantamount to genocide" for rural America and warning it could outlaw hamburgers, among other things.
Ocasio-Cortez and the other backers are undeterred. They insist the nation can eliminate carbon emissions by 2030 — a target most experts call unrealistic — and say a transformation of the nation's energy use is simply a matter of political will.
If you earn money I will take it from you and spend it until it is all gone.
Sell this to China and India if you want to really affect climate change, not the US
Leave... the.... coke.... alone
Horror Show.
Horror Show, hands down.
I Love Her She's refreshingly honest. I don't doubt her sincerity and she also has the ability to laugh at herself unlike our president. She's not bought and paid for by the coal and gas industries Climate change is real folks. Deal!!
Side show!
They haven't even thought this thing through and it's Not New. Introduced at the UN in 2008 and handed off tot he Green Party.........🙄 No, it is a Socio-economic takeover in a environmental wrapper.......😏
Eva Braun of socialism.
Idiot!
She does not mind, I understand she was an out of work actress who fooled democratic voters and house democrats to follow her lead . . . pretty good acting job, PELOSI
Horror show!!
What I've heard about the Green New Deal I believe that it should be studdied to see if it's feasible as is or if it needs tweaked. Before anyone puts it down.
Please check with other rightwing media if you need more unflattering pictures of AOC.
Nut but an opportunity nut but republicans play the same. No surplus law this will continue. Not so bad if she only get a few conservation items in the environment if she jus another loan hand out to federal reserve cash cow so... yuk is yuk both sides.
What is it about this face that makes me want to punch it?
I’m crazy
Better a Socialist that a Trumpist,,,,,,,
Horror show? Why that? Wouldnt it be like really good for rural communities, create many highmedium paying job opportunities and put us on a faster trajectory to 100% renewables. Like I dont know what details are in it, but there are some basic expectations to this kind of thing.
She is honest and not bought and paid for. Yes she is idealistic but we need that in our young to make the old get off their asses and do the right thing and not just the easy thing.
How bad does an issue have to be before politicians stop worrying about losing face with their voters?
Stupid headline
AOC is a nut job.
Your headline is the horror show.
Horror show. Her and Omar and dividing the Dem. party
If the green new deal saves the planet for years to come I will gladly drive a electric mustang!!! And use the power of the sun!!
I thought bozo the clown was off the air
We have the best scientists in the world. If they were given the ability and incentives to just crack on, they could do remarkable things.
Another leftish without common sense
when capitalism doesn’t work for you😂 easy to take other ppl money😂😂😂
The only one s inflaming the debate is the media. Did you learn nothing in 2016? How about featuring one of the unknown new Reps in the House - let us learn of them.
She looks crazy af
Another leftish senseless
Maybe a little of each! Helping to bring issues up front.
Question number two: What alternative plan does ANYONE propose that addresses infrastructure, jobs, US manufacturing and engineering and education all by expanding solutions to climate change (aka 'do you have a better plan for the 21st century?)'
Ffs could you use better headlines?
we have nothing to worry about in Canada we have a carbon tax now so we will be 100% CO2 free any day now. Our Liberal gov told me so.
Anyone who read it knows it is a horror show.
The green new deal is a must for America. The planet will thank you 🤗
Democrats are not credible.
The Green New Deal is a worthy long term goal which we have already begun working towards. Things like recycling, and alternative and renewable energy were initially met with resistance, but are now part of our daily lives. Don't be a hater...Go Green!
loser
Wrong execution of the right idea.
Who is she?
Is there symbolism in the hands are is it just both pinkies are left in the cold?
Here: Someone is trying to do something about climate change in this country at last and an entire part of the populace is too blinded by politics to try and help. If you don't like the ideas that's fine, come up with your own fixes and we'll debate them.
Big time horror show
She’s an angry elf.
Neither really. Just a dead end unfortunately.
She is not to be trusted
Shit show
Clickbait or clickbait? Clickbait Get over yourself ABC
smoke n mirrors
She's helping more than she's hurting. The old status quo is clutching their pearls
If we had spent 10 trillion upgrading our power grid and other infrastructure instead of invading iraq, afghanistan, syria, yemen, qatar, etc... we could have had healthcare for all and a GreenNewDeal
Green New Hoax.
Really?
American news editors are the horror show
Total horror show
Debate is good. Action is better.
Horror show.
Horror show? C'mon, , do better. GStephanopoulos, do you approve of this?
Neither. A new approach. Needs work. So does our current thinking.
I still haven't got my beer AOC. That's it no tip for you.
Guess we'll never know if we continue down our current path to destruction.
planet is screwed. The green New Deal doesn't even go far enough.
Bring it on.. LONG OVERDUE!
She’s a horror show just by being her. She’s ignorant, stupid and uninformed. She’s a hot mess. Get rid of her quickly.
You have a bonifed idiot leading the charge. 93 trillion cost with no thought process on how to build the titanic.
This tweet is a horror show.
These global warming tax cuts and funding is all a load of crap. It’s just another scare tactic to generate money. Just like war. They make fake claims like weapons of mass destruction to start illegal wars to get money from military weapons and oil.
Third option: A childish plan peddled by a child who thinks the American people are children.
If Crazy Eyes says it's needed, how can you doubt it?
look at what happened in mozambique. that's a horror show.
Green New Deal... I would say Exorcist green puke Horror Show.
