    She's a peon freshman congress woman.

    This entire forum is filled with one right wing FAIL after another.

    Examples:


    Obama will take away your guns! But it was Republicans Reagan and Bush who did.

    Obama increases national debt! But Reagan, Bush, and Trump do it worse.

    Obama will suspend civil rights. But Trump is the one about to declare ''national emergency'' and take away monies intended for other purposes.

    Obama is racist & another Hitler! But it is Trump with the racist comments and with anti-transgender in the military bigotry.

    Obama was photographed with Farrakhan! This while ignoring photos of Reagan & Bush with racist Hitlerian Pat Robertson.

    Muslim yell out "F x x x K Jesus!" But they never did as he is recognized as Issa/Messiah in their religion.

    "Epidemic/plague in Los Angeles!" Six minor cases and nobody dead compared to millions killed in real epidemics.




    The forum is filled with right wing lies, exaggerations, FAKE NEWS, and pretensions of every kind imaginable thanks to these right wingers. That is why they lose every debate as each position they take is destined to be a TOTAL FAIL.

    You sound like the Democrats talking about Trump prior to November 8, 2016.

    Close all nuclear plants as technological advances allow.

    No need to Stop Air Travel.

    "End Fossil Fuel. America just became a net exporter and the world's leader. It's time to end that international advantage and lose trillions in revenue and countless jobs."
    What do I care about oil companies' exports and their trillions in revenue?

    Way to go Democrats! Get on it quickly and make progress that no one can stop and reverse.

    Either you're attacking a straw man or you're badly misinformed (by Faux and fake news).

    You just flew off the handle at someone deviating from talking about Cindy McCain in a thread about her and here you are in all you hypocritical glory.

    Trump's debt growth is only 8% higher than Obama's, but his GDP growth is almost 70% higher.

    She should come up with a different name than Green New Deal. That's boring and the whole "deal" thing is triggering to anti-capitalists.

    She is just the dumbest really. She berates people for being billionaires in the US, when there are a ton more billionaires in Venezuela. Although you need to be a billionaire to pay for one roll of toilet paper there because they did "just print money" to pay for their socialism, but why would she want to learn from all the failures of socialism in the past anyways?

    Didn't read thread. In just a little over 100 years, a gnat's toenail of human historical time, the U.S. private sector energy industry (the SMART Money), and NOT the gov-edu-union-contractor-grantee-trial lawyer-MSM Complex (the STUPID Money) has taken us from kerosene to incredibly efficient, cheap, pervasive energy that is accessible to all socioeconomic strata all over the world.

    So we can let the Smart Money do what it inevitably does, innovate towards the future and prosperity, or we can fund the incompetent, involuntary, wasteful, self-dealing graft of the Stupid Money for more Solyndraesque scams and more private jets and mansions for Complex swine... at the expense of Smart Money innovation.

    Hmmm. What should we do? What -should- we do?

    She is incredibly stupid. Before Capitalism, humans lived for about 35 years on average. Had none of the amenities we have today. And after Capitalism, people die in the millions and have to eat their dogs to survive.

    the huge jump in life expectency had very little to do with capitalism
    but everything with the simple concept of hygiene,

    huge % of the children died at childbirth with a high risk for woman delivering to, wich is somewhat expected if your not using clean water or sterile tools to deliver a baby while the mother is bleeding on the dirty table
    then children also often died before they reached 18 ontop of that,

    and you found the 2 leading reasons for low average life expectency
    if you reached 30 the change of getting to 50+ was pretty good,

    It's almost becoming comical how some of the left are still attempting to defend and stand by AOC and her absolute insanity. She will be the reason we have Trump again in 2020, thanks dems!

    I support "saving the planet", but her proposals are simply ridiculous.

    As usual, it's the prescription not the diagnosis people generally disagree with. Just look at France. 2/3rds think climate change is happening, yet they're throwing the **** at their government's inane methods for combating it.

    Nuclear grid, household solar. Only way.

    __________________________________

    I'd also point out that passing all this totalitarian policy in the US, UK, and Australia is one thing, but passing it in India, China, Cambodia, Colombia, Nigeria, etc is a completely different kettle of fish.

    Unitary (or, at a minimum, Federal) world government is the only way. And that is a completely intolerable solution to a sizable majority of the world.

    Hygiene, brought to you by people that made the soap for profit. Not to mention all the medical innovations.

    Again, medical fields have been a for profit business before governments socialized them. Its better to keep your patients alive and in need of care than to lose them and not be able to treat them anymore.

    You pointed out those reasons, I pointed out the difference in "before and after" capitalism.

    So your prognosis is death and you have no prescription?

    I dont have that prognosis

    If I were traumatized by the man-made-global-warming-doomsday hoax I might consider crazy ideas like that

    Or I might agree with you that the cure is worse than the disease
