Of course she doesn't want to upset her donors -- she is an establishment politician.

So where is the outrage? The planet is at stake!

There’s plenty of outrage, hence the inter-party civil war you alluded to.

1. The world won’t end. In 12 years time, the reality of not addressing carbon emissions will put the planet’s warming on autopilot, meaning even if we get our shit together in year 13, massive global damage will be irreparable. For example, saltwater fish will die out by 2040 on our current trajectory. Insects are experiencing mass die offs already. The damage to the ecosystem will have a domino effect leading to environmental disasters, starvation, drought, war, and a shitload of people dying. Sure there might be some rich assholes with orange groves in a bunker somewhere that will be fine, but the reality is that a vast majority of the world’s population (not to mention the plants and animals) will die. It’s that simple.

2. This is not AOC’s idea or claim, it’s a plethora of climate scientists and international climate organizations.

3. The Green New Deal is more of a jobs program to help the US transition away from fossil fuels, and boost the domestic economy while doing so. The Green New Deal could pass tomorrow and it would do little to mitigate the damage we’re doing. And obviously, the US is only one of 200 nations, climate change doesn’t care about borders.

4. The reason no action on climate change is happening, and why most Dems don’t support the GND is because of money. Our government is corrupt and the people in power are beholden to the interests of the wealthy. The wealthy make a killing off of fossil fuel. The wealthy don’t give a shit if the entire global south dies off. They don’t care if ecosystems collapse, they have the money and the power to make sure they themselves will be just fine.

So why aren't you making threads about establishment democrats who are fucking your entire party over?

Seems like a bunch of fake outraged  unprincipled liberals were screeching Nazi and white privilege since 2016 -- then all of a sudden when 2020 comes around, the tune changes.

The green new deal is a power grab.

Maybe if you read what people say on here instead of projecting your own generalizations on to everything you wouldn’t have so many questions.

No kidding.  Every time I read one of XUL's posts I think "we already had a discussion on this".  Nobody here supports establishment democrats.  Why pretend what the left thinks based on conservative talking points rather than accepting what they think based on what's discussed here in the shroomery?
