you didn't miss much as said it was a staged PEP rally for that cunt sandy from the bronx. Town Hall format without questions. Had some stooge "experts" to keep sandy from the science.This was an MSNBC/Justice Democrats production trying to rebuild some face in the Progtard world. No serious news organization would have AOC on in this format.
it devolved into a rally for the DSP - Deomcratic Socialist Party. Originally Posted by The_Waco_Kid

The highlight of the evening for me was cow flatulence. One of her advisers who shared the stage was dismayed that he'd have to give up hamburgers when AOC's vision came to fruition. This is because cows and other livestock produce methane, a greenhouse gas, when they fart. Ocasio-Cortez assured him there would still be hamburgers. We will however, have to change our "cow grains" (her words), so that the cattle will fart less. Presumably she means a low fiber diet for our cows. Not only is she beautiful, but the woman can think out of the box!!!
She also showed off the fine education that economics graduates of Boston University receive, referring to the "inequal" distribution of income in America, and talking about the "jazillions of dollars" her detractors believe her plan will cost -- "it's like Doctor Evil, they say it's going to cost 100 million dollars or something." Also she derided a carbon tax (which is what economists favor over mandates if you're going to limit CO2 emissions) as stupid and "wimpy." In other words, we just need to outright ban CO2 emissions.
Chris Hayes, the MSNBC interviewer, actually brought up the estimated 96 trillion dollar price tag for the Green New Deal, and AOC brushed it off. She said no one before had dared to tackle problems as expensive and complex as climate change, a guaranteed minimum wage, universal healthcare and inequality at the same time. But it's essential that we do all at once. The pieces fit together for a grand solution, like Franklin Delano Roosevelt's original New Deal.
She didn't take questions from the audience. This was carefully stage managed so that she wouldn't field any truly tough questions. The venue was a small, packed auditorium in her Congressional district with about a thousand of her fervent fans, who were smiling, clapping and head nodding at every word she said. She was joined on stage by some of the people from progressive think tanks who had helped her design the green new deal, and for about 5 to 10 minutes by a Republican Congressman from South Carolina who strongly favored limiting CO2 emissions. When he questioned the wisdom of her tackling so many challenges at once (e.g. universal health care, guaranteed income, global warming) and moving the bills through Congress, the crowd booed. AOC shouted at them, something like "Hey, hey hey, stop it. We're not like Trump. That's the difference between him and me." She admitted it would take years to accomplish all her objectives.
AOC says we're currently in crisis, like in the Great Depression or World War II, and if we don't so something about inequality and global warming now, we're completely fucked. She struck me as some of the wild eyed people I knew at University who thought our generation was going to solve all the worlds problems. If she gets her way, she'd just going to make them worse.

In my fantasy world, Tucker Carlson would be interviewing her. Unfortunately it's going to be Chris Hayes, but it will be interesting to see how she justifies her plan which is also called TUBTTSA (Take Us Back to the Stone Age) and MAPA (Make America Poor Again). Originally Posted by Tiny

The fools in the "identity-politics" Party of the SocialistLiberalAnti-Trumpers .... "own her"!
