This is what exactly she said" Representative Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, the Democrat from New York, called climate change "our World War II" and warned that the world will end in 12 years if we don't address global warming on Monday"
Quit lying Fat. .
That is not the quote at all. It just takes some words out of context.
“Millennials and people, you know, Gen Z and all these folks that will come after us are looking up and we’re like: ‘The world is gonna end in 12 years if we don’t address climate change and your biggest issue is how are we gonna pay for it?'” Ocasio-Cortez said
Welcome to the crap Trump dealt with on a daily basis for 5 years... The left's entire playbook was pulling 1 sentence from a 2 hour speech and framing it their own way out of context to attack him and MILLIONS and MILLIONS of people to this day have no idea what he actually said.
Yes, of course this will take a long time. The transition will happen over the next 20 years.
20 years isn't a long time on the national level and... no it won't.
Even getting all new car sales to be electric by 2035 is a stretch and half the cars on the road will still be gas powered 20 years after that.
We will probably figure out fusion before any of this is actually implemented and make the whole thing moot.
Almost 100% of cars on the road will be EVs in 20 years. Gas cars will be very expensive in comparison and will therefore be impractical. Also by then, private car ownership will be cut at least in half as most people rely on robotaxis. All robotaxis will be EVs.

It only took 10 years to eliminate most horse traffic. At the time, most couldn't imagine this could happen. Same for EVs.
Exponential functions are really hard to grasp and EV adoption follows an exponential function known as an S-curve.
Here is a graph that paints the picture of how fast Tesla deliveries are accelerating. This includes the latest delivery data Tesla just released today. EVs are taking over fast.
good news on organized labor right now - amazon and starbucks have had unions form among their workers. great stuff. not a coincidence that when the Rs were kicked out of DC and Dems took charge, labor started collecting its power.
More unions, please.
(private unions, not public sector unions)
It ain’t like the old days. Unions leaders are in bed with the corporations. Less pay too. Efficiency will plummet. The only thing unions do anymore is prevent lazy ass people from getting fired.

Yes, both sides play these silly games.
Wrong again, chicken little. AOC said it. Now be a man and accept your loss. Enough with the excuses.

That's absolutely absurd. No one alive who knows anything about EVs is making that claim.
Even in moonbat California they are shooting for 100% of car sales to be electric by 2035 and trucks by 2045.
That's just sales. People will be driving their gas cars LONG after 2042.

Minor difference being the left's actual policies are crazier than the dumb things they say...

the only thing we can depend upon is right wingers being against unions.
they are always against unions, have always been against unions, and will always be against unions. American history is a story of people like the Democrats fighting for workers against people like Trump, Bush and Romney.
'conservatives' instinctively side with the rich against the poor, the powerful against the weak.
This is how they think and a very large reason why they fail again and again and a real reason why there has been a constant march of lefty accomplishments over the years - against strong opposition from right wingers - like Social Security and rural electrification. Fighting for the little guy is a universal good.

The weak are only the weak because they're dumb enough to believe the Democrats actually care about anything but power.

the Democrats are responsible for Social Security, medicare, medicaid, unemployment insurance, rural electrification, 40-hour work week, unions, minimum wage, workplace safety, the affordable care act and many other programs americans love and use every day. In every case the right wingers and 'libertarians' fought the lefties, saying it would mean communism and tyranny and extinguish the american spirit.
Biden took millions of children out of poverty last year, until the Rs insisted the children should be put back into poverty just in case anyone was getting something they didn't deserve. So they are now back in poverty. Clap.
you are one of a long chain of people fighting as tools of the rich man against everyone else. Would be nice if you acknowledged that.

Social security is an absolute disaster that destroyed retirement. In the 1930s when they rolled it out there were over 30 workers paying in for every 1 recipient. Today you get less than you put in when you retire. It's a ponzi scheme.
Medicare and medicaid are the reason it costs $30,000 to spend 3 days in the hospital.
You start with ideas that sound nice and then you involve the government and make whatever you're trying to fix WORSE!
The government is NOT your friend.
Unchecked government is a MILLION times worse than unchecked capitalism.

heh. yeah as I said, some things never change. right wingers would prefer to have seniors die in poverty or be forced to live with their kids, with garbage medical care if they are poor.
they can't face the fact that government needs to serve as a balance against the force of the private sector. They'd rather even have family farmers go bankrupt rather than set rules on monopolies like the railroads in the 30s.
Unless of course they want Twitter to be prosecuted - then they are all for the hammer of righteous governmental action to fall swiftly and relentlessly.
heh. yeah as I said, some things never change. right wingers would prefer to have seniors die in poverty or be forced to live with their kids, with garbage medical care if they are poor.
No, I'd prefer to get rid of the payroll tax and invest it myself, and have a means-tested program for those who can't. Instead we're stuck with this horribly designed program that will bankrupt us.

yeah good plan. make all the workers invest their own money and when they fail make the government support them anyway. Super. A+.
Regular people are terrible investors. SS is a guaranteed income that most americans rely on and cherish.
Maybe right wing candidates should campaign on eliminating SS. That seems like a good plan. Do it.

Pointing out that a government program is money wasting monstrosity that does not accomplish what it was created to accomplish does NOT mean people want anyone to "die in poverty". This sort of dishonest stupidity is so unhelpful.
In what universe does "balance" mean completely take over?
EVERYONE supports a social safety net. Wanting it done responsibly in a way that doesn't ruin the very thing you're trying to fix isn't unreasonable.
In 1960, going to the doctor was like going to the grocery store. Today the government spends over a TRILLION dollars a year on health care and somehow healthcare got WORSE.

‘Healthcare got worse.’
Put that on the list of one of the dumbest things you or anyone else has ever said on LRC.
Are you a troll? I don’t think so but saying things like that suggest you May be.
probably you just never read any history so you are very very ignorant.
