Trying to get rid of burning fossil fuels is a good start. No reason not to dream big, there are barriers to what she (they propose) so that dream will be whittled down to a small step that's better for the future of the planet and your children.

Stop worrying about the socialism boogy man and take a look at what she proposes. Most of what she proposes aren't bad ideas, except maybe giving everyone a job, that's laughable. Saving the planet from increasing temperatures, making buildings more efficient, overhauling the transportation industry is all good. Pilots are eventually going the way of the horse whip manufactures, get used to it.

Before you cry, "How are we going to pay for it." As yourself how were we ever going to pay for any of the stuff the government gives us? There never seems to be a plan for that, Republican or Democrat.
Spot on. This thread is absurd. You guys ever have an opinion other than cable news talking points? Did anyone even read the pdf, it’s only 14 pages. Lay off the cable news in the crew lounge and think for yourself and maybe read a book. Broaden your viewpoints. Your grandchildren will appreciate you taking the time to figure something out other than some pundits corporate talking points.

when the vast majority of 2020 candidates have not only said they support the Green New Deal, but co-sponsored it, yes, I feel this represents the majority of Democrats. Unlike Republicans who call out those who are out of line (see Roy Moore as a prime example), Democrats embrace those who are out of line (see Virginia governorship).

Yes, if you vote Democrat, you vote to kill our job. Plain and simple.

I call her names because she is actively pushing to end my job.

This is standard procedure in the run up to a major election. Lean far to one side to solidify the base and moderate once you’re down to the final contest.

What? Roy Moore came dangerously close to winning that election. It was actually African American women who came out in large numbers to vote for Doug Jones that caused Moore to be defeated. Republicans were not pounding the pavement trying to keep Moore from getting elected. They cared more about someone promoting their ultra fanatically conservative agenda than they did the man’s pedophilia...just like evangelicals care more about their ultra fanatically conservative agenda that they are willing to be totally hypocritical and ignore Trump’s despicable character, complete lack of family values, corrupt behavior, racist beliefs, disregard for the integrity of the country’s democracy and the rule of law, historical ignorance, and sexual promiscuity.

And every Democrat who who has been asked has called for Ralph Northam to design.

FACT = Fundamentally Accurate Characterization of the Truth.

Cognitive dissonance in action.
