It will be one of several or maybe many suggestions that we receive. The green dream, or whatever they call it, nobody knows what it is, but they're for it, right?So said that beloved politician Nancy Pelosi about Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez's "Green New Deal".
Now, I haven't read the bill, and I don't know if its good, bad, or in between. I do think that with a Republican controlled Senate, the chances of it becoming law are really remote. At least right now.
But I'm not really commenting on the bill itself, but rather the reaction to it. And at that, I'm not really commenting on the right wing reaction. That has been fairly predictable.
No, I'm commenting solely on Nancy Pelosi's reaction.
What a snot.
If it wasn't clear before, what should be clear now is that Ms. Pelosi, age 78, who has been in politics since 1976, isn't about to let some young whipper snapper who was born in 1989, steal her freakin' thunder. It doesn't matter if Ms. Pelosi may have the same general views as Ms. Oscasio-Cortez, young AOC is just that, young. And we can't have that, now can we?
Left or right in your views, there's the central problem the Democrats have right there. Billing themselves as the party of youth, and the party that isn't "establishment", their leadership is clearly establishment, ancient, and likes it that way.
What she's likely to find, however, is that Millenials, Gen X, and Gen Y, don't really tend to see things that way.
