I saw some news that AOC is going on some kind of a nationwide tour promoting the Green New Deal. Really weird. Something that has no chance of happening under this political system and the democratic party is pursuing this while basically doing nothing about healthcare. They have two years of controlling Congress and they're doing this?
Talk about a national emergency, I think our health care system qualifies. Over half of all bankruptcies are caused by medical bills. People are fucking dying, costs are skyrocketing, horror stories abound. And all the democrats want to do now is talk about a Green deal that will not happen and promises that the price of drugs will go down. That's all they can handle this "meeting" of Congress because there's another election to get ready for. We all know by now that 24 out of 30 days of a sitting Congress or Senate member, and their staffs, are consumed with trying to get reelected and/or set themselves up for their well deserved bounty from their corporate sponsors.
I wonder why the democratic party and AOC herself don't give credit where credit is due - to the Green Party, which had a far better Green Deal proposal well before this new one. If they're so concerned with climate change that they believe we need a WWII type society mobilization to address it because we only have 12 years, why not seek to join forces with the Green Party?
Looks to me like it's a planned 2020 election gambit to recruit young people to the democratic party. They're using AOC as the lead cheerleader like they used Bernie Sanders previously.
Rolling healthcare into this whole totally unrealistic and unachievable plan will only serve to neuter any efforts for Medicare for All Improved during the 116th Congress. That appears to be the plan.
More reason to oppose and boycott the duopoly.
