Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez "is the leader everybody knows it, everybody feels it. She's the leader of this mass movement." Michael Moore
Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez is loud, perpetually outraged, and not particularly bright. In fact, saying shes not particularly bright is kind of like saying Antarctica is not particularly hot. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez IS what the mainstream media THOUGHT Sarah Palin was when she first came on the scene except shes liberal, dumb, and considerably less accomplished.
Her first huge (albeit non-binding) policy initiative and the FAQ that goes along with the #Greennewdeal seems like the sort of drek a dimwitted high school student would have cobbled together after listening to a couple of Noam Chomsky videos. It is truly radical, wildly impractical, and completely oblivious to the enormous problems it would cause. Theres also nothing of significance in there about how much all of this will cost, how to pay for any of it, or what the impact will be on the economy once you get beyond this unintentionally hilarious line in the FAQ:
The Federal Reserve can extend credit to power these projects and investments and new public banks can be created to extend credit. There is also space for the government to take an equity stake in projects to get a return on investment. At the end of the day, this is an investment in our economy that should grow our wealth as a nation, so the question isnt how will we pay for it, but what will we do with our new shared prosperity.

She’s a dim witted, rabid COMMUNIST NUT!
Those countering the green new deal argue that it would harm the economy.
You don’t understand; Collectivists don’t care if they create a famine that kills half the country. They don’t care if they have to shoot or gas half the country. They don’t care what is destroyed. They just want power, even if only a few survive.
Yeah. You have to break a few eggs to make an omelette.

She needs to be riding a bike everywhere she needs to go. Now that would be truly going green.
It was your good. It was perfect.
You don't understand. She's going to take a train. From Puerto Rico, next stop will be Hawaii.
AOC needs to visit the Great Plains of this country where people live in smaller cities and towns separated by tens of miles and where temperatures frequently plummet to double digits below zero. It would be impossible to provide electric heating no matter how energy efficient the buildings solely using solar or wind energy. Electric cars would be next to useless at these temperatures. Perhaps AOC envisions her fascist government forceably relocating the population of these areas. While this womans proposals are blatant idiocy it is frightening to know there are thousands who believe her crap
