Ocasio-Cortez continued. “How about we start by fully funding the pensions of coal miners in West Virginia? Why did she say this when she is totally against fossil fuels?

Why did she say this when she is totally against fossil fuels? Because, as with everything else, she has no clue what fossil fuels are.

Her point is that those who have illnesses from mining should of course get their full pensions and any other assistance they need because of their time in the coal mines.
I like AOC (and Omar). They put these ideas out there for honest discussion. Both political parties have sunk, for decades now, to reducing very real issues we care about to being talking points to win elections.
Real Conservatives elected to the House started out that way. They ended when they sunk so low that they allowed Traitor Ryan to be Speaker.
