Ocasio-Cortez And The Far Left Are Poisoning Democrat Policy. When it comes to Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez her repeated gaffes and nonsensical statements becomes easy targets for the right to go after policy positions. Ocasio-Cortez was paraded around by Democrats so much that she became to prominent for her experience level. Thus we see it again and again. Twitter flame wars, nonsensical gaffes, and a mainstream media that enjoys calling her out as much as Conservatives and Republicans do.Her policy positions and rhetoric is speaking to a tiny minority of the US. If Democrats want to see change and bipartisan support for certain bills they need to recognize the damage Ocasio-Cortez does to these plans.

When it comes to policy positions. I actually agree with Abkhazia Cortez on many issues. The problem is that she's, a gaff queen and you repeatedly says false or nonsensical statements that makes it hard our two percent good ideas for moderate or by partisan support, even Polyte effect and the Washington Post, have had to call her out for saying things that make no sense, and it's not just true of Abkhazia Cortez, but for many people associate with the far left and the new progressive members of a democratic party, they don't know how to communicate their
he has to moderates and Republicans and there are actually a small percentage of the american population. This means when it comes to good ideas. Like the green new deal, we can't get any support for Congress according to a pull from Yale. Eighty one percent of people support the idea of a green new deal, so why is it then that in Congress there is no support, there's no bipartisan support for this bill. In my opinion, it's because these fringe members of the Democratic Party in the far left have no idea what they're talking about or how to present good ideas and its damaging to those of us who are liberal and want to see these things push forward. So today I want to talk about. What's going out there, A new deal why they aren't getting support and why I think the far left and cause Cortez are poison for moderates and democratic party. But before I get started, police had over two TIM cast: dotcom forts: let's do it. If you like sport, my work a month. Donation often has options for prevail currency. I have a physical. And there's a shop where you can buy some closed that actually designed myself. Let's stop at all
about some important policy from the guardian. The green new deal. What is the progressive plan, and is it technically possible the idea central to a cause? Your court has his campaign, aims to eliminate greenhouse gas pollution, but lacks key political support before restore economic. One important point aims to eliminate greenhouse gas pollution immediately, speaks to progressives and not to moderates conservatives and thus already we can start to see the ineffective communication skills of the far left and cause your work has his campaign. Most. U S. Voters would support a green new deal for the country to transform its infrastructure with a rapid ship. To clean energy. But while the idea is gaining attention on Capitol Hill, it lacks key political support According to a survey from the Yale Climate Change Communication Programme, eighty one percent of voters back its description of a green new deal, similar plans, variant
tell but all are inspired by the new deal that Franklin Delano, Roosevelt, launched to battle the effects of a great depression. The idea was central to the high profile campaign of a cause. You quotas, the young democratic Socialist, from New York, who won a? U S house in November, or cause you're quotas and the youth led sunrise movement are encouraging Democrats who will rating the House majority in January to produce a blueprint. Their green new deal would centre around creating new jobs and lessening inequality aiming to virtually alive U s greenhouse gas pollution in a decade. It would be radical compared with other climate proposals. It would require massive government spending. Dozens of Democrats have signalled support, including potential twenty twenty percent until candidates Bernie Sanders inquiry. Booker this month, New York's governor Andrew Cuomo, said his state would launch its own green new deal seeking carbon neutral activity by twenty forty. The story goes on to say, with enough money and political will, the? U S, electrical grid could make major changes. Currently, the? U S, get seventy percent of its power from renewable energy and less than half of that is from wind and solar.
The growing renewable sources. According to the Energy Information Administration, nuclear power which uses mind uranium, but his carbon free makes up twenty percent of the grid. Turning to all renewable power would require large amounts of battery storage. For when the wind is blowing in the sun is shining that technology is not available, but it is advancing, they ask. Is it politically possible? Republicans are unlikely to support any green new deal, which would require acknowledging the threats posed by climate change. Increasing To avoid them, the proposal could be divisive among Democrats too much of it goes addressing climate change and invokes more of the progressive platform, and this is my main problem with how they present these ideas there. Version of a green new deal talks about making the economy fair. What is it even mean? Just what does that mean? They talk about eliminating carbon emissions in the atmosphere. Now that I like right, I believe that climate change is a real issue. However, stand, based on common understanding of pop political debate, this country conservatives tend not to see things that way
In fact, there are many moderates who aren't convinced climate changes manmade or that it's going to be a huge problem. Thus you cannot frame your argument in a way that only speaks to eight percent of the population, and yes, I mean that, specifically from this report called hidden tribes that was produced a little while ago, progressive activists make up only eight percent of the population. I find myself somewhere in the exhausted majority, though I'm relatively active in terms of politics. I know that if I want to find some real change and put forth something akin to a green new deal, we need the support of moderates conservatives and devoted conservatives, and if they don't agree with your view of the world, you need to figure out what they you agree on and how you can present something that would be beneficial to them as well. So you can find the bipartisan support. You need to pass a bill like this. There are still problems that we have to overcome in terms of green technology. Like windows:
it always blowing son is now is shining they mentioned. You need batteries. Nuclear power is actually pretty great. It produces a lot of energy for a small investment, but people are concerned about large scale disasters. The answer is simple: we need more investment in new types of energy and more research into new technologies. Just coming out in talking about carbon emissions is not going to convince anybody on the right to support your measure, but haven't we talk about the economy which they do mention how? But we get away from the idea of fairness, because I mean what that means we can talk about making America's economy grows significant, making America better than it is now by making it more competitive on the international market, during our energy requirement and energy costs for new mysteries in this country means a better economy, it means rapid economic growth and it means were less dependent on foreign oil sources. Granted. The, U S is, I believe, is the biggest part you're a fossil fuels. The point is you're trying to sell an idea to a conservative. Don't got jumped, don't just cannot the gate with under that only speaks to a tiny fraction of people. It's never going to work
There are a lot of policies that I want to see and acted. I may Social liberal, so I do agree with the consequences in a lot of things, but I believe, that her and people who are aligned with her wing of the Democratic Party are poisoning the party. I am frustrated to no end by the left, who refuses to call her out for these mainstream. Media has no problem putting together list. Of all of the false statements she's made. She sounds ridiculously silly. Just the other day, we saw story from Yahoo, Sandro Cause report has marked for jailer reference in showing new office black. Now it's funny that you can kind of bee endearing and makes only jokes, but this is not confidence, building for Democrats. Yahoo is not a conservative hit rag they're not going after all cause Yo Cortez because they don't like the left there doing because she's, a silly person, ok and I've- seen not if you're gonna say oh TIM Mock, so cause you Cortez too much yeah sure don't talk about policy. We're talking about having a bad representative for progressive policies,
and looking silly and making it harder for people like me to have the conversation that needs to be had look, there's just an endless endless stream of gas from Cortez. We have this one posted a Fox news. Ok, let us, as Jesus was a refugee and Christmas tweet. He wasn't they point out. Marian Joseph are not depicted as refugees and then a typically story. According to the gospel of Luke, Joseph brings the pregnant two Bethlehem, so that he may, in role in a census, ordered by the roman emperor Augustus. The couple are forced to shelter in a stable where Jesus is born due to a lack of room at the end, but it's not just about gas. It's about the online flame wars, Alexandria, cause Yogurt has regular engages in political flame wars with pundits in this tweet talking about how someone's man splaining to her Michael Nobles from a belief in the daily wire, and I have to wonder why sure she earns brownie points with her progressive tribe. But do you think the average American who is concerned about the economy about their livelihood in their family is going to be excited when they see that the
in common congresswoman elect? Is this concerned about man splaining and getting it an argument with someone who is not even a politician? Don't forget Ben Shapiro challenge to debate and she's, not going debate someone who's, not a politician that she has no obligation to Ben and then she actually likened to some kind of cat calling or something. Obviously there are people on the right who don't like her actual policy positions and for sure I have some criticisms of our policy positions. She says she has one guess where she claimed that a twenty one trillion dollar accounting error could pay for sixty six percent of Medicare, because she had seen understand how accounting works and then I just have to face bomb. Saying: listen. I understand we don't have a clear path to Medicare for all. I like the idea, I'd like to see a society where we can provide healthcare to all of its citizens. I lean in that direction. I dont know how we do it in the conversation needs to be had we need to be adults about these things and say hey if I can get you healthcare, lowering the cost of healthcare across the board for everybody
Wouldn't that be a good thing. Can we do it? Let's make a plan? That's not what she does. She gets into flame wars with people from the daily wire, while simultaneously arguing that she is not going to debate people from daily Wire and it just makes it just makes for poison on the left. This is the graphic I've shown time and time again, because it seems to be that people, don't understand why this happening and why someone like me now a centrist and not consider necessarily on the left by most people and its because, though the Democrats have spread so far. This is the story from economists talking about how the progressive group, lost the overwhelming majority of their primaries. They say that means Graham Democrats, one? Seventy one of seventy eight? That means out of all of these primers, only seven progressive got him. We see that's from nineteen. Eighty conservatives and liberals are actually relatively close with some overlap. Overtime. Conservatives actually stay where they are, but liberals start spreading farther and for
to the left, vocs rate, a story with a short, a chart saying that conservatives are becoming more extreme because they won't work with Democrats, but I think that's kind of unfair that a simple reason why conservatives aren't working with Democrats. It's because Democrats are embracing policies that are further and for left and I honestly have no idea why. But it also sounds like their ineffective communicators. Isotope fundraising for Greenpeace actually go out onto the street street canvassing waving the people and ask him to talk to me about signing up to protect the environment at the time. I was a big fan of Greenpeace, admittedly I'm not so much anymore for political reasons, but I'm still a staunch environmentalist for the most part I love nature. I wanna see pollution reduced. I want to see animals protected and I like the idea of a green new deal because it can make us more competitive. It can better America, but it can also help at the environment. It seems like a win win across the board and I get so ridiculously frustrated seen these ambassadors of these policies sound like they have no idea
talking about and actually damage and idea that, according to Yale, eighty one percent of people actually support the Yale Programme on Climate change mitigation publish this on a summer fourteenth the Green new deal has strong by partisan support. They say some members of Congress are proposing a green new deal for the: U S, they say that again new deal or produce jobs and strengthen America's economy by accelerating the transition from fossil fuels to clean renewable energy. The deal would generate one hundred percent of the nation's electricity from clean renewable sources when the next ten years upgrade the nations energy grid, buildings and transportation infrastructure increase energy efficiency invest in green technology research and development and provide training for jobs in the new green economy. They say the survey results show overwhelming support for the green new deal with eighty one percent of registered voters saying they either strongly support or somewhat support. This plan based
They, when God closed the door, he opens window so as much as a consequence has frustrates me and actually making it hard to talk about certain policies. She gives me an opportunity to talk rationally about why these policies probably would make sense. I think that the approach from the far left is not the right way to go about it, which is another problem. We need moderates to come together and talk about what we can do to improve research on investments into energy technology, which I believe will benefit this country greatly. It's possible. That Republicans will actually support this. You just have to make sure that they have a say in how it is implemented. We can see that are unfair. You're, so per cent of people surveyed would have would somewhat support this plan, and that says to me that
we ve got a lot of people who strongly supported in some whose somewhat support. So let's compromise a bit and do what we can to move in this direction, because you're not gonna, build a force, people who don't see the world the way you do too to agree to your fringe, far left politics, eight percent of his country, progressive activists, you can't just try and sell it to them. You don't have the support, it's almost like they don't care about our, Looking and conservatives and moderates feel about these issues. I certainly do, and that means I wanna sit down. I have a real conversation. I know I've talked about it. Before, but I want to mention that, oh cause, your court has got into office through an exploit. You wanna primary with about fifteen thousand votes in the district of seven hundred four years, a thousand people when it came to Cynthia and introduce strict Nixon. Who is the progressive lost by thirty points and, as I just showed you in the economist, article progressives overwhelmingly lost their primaries. It was a fluke
in my opinion, parliament, what you think of the comments below and let's talk about the green new deal. I wouldn't want to have this conversation policy, because I think we can look. I'm an environmentalist. I believe climate change, the problem. I understand, conservative, don't agree with it. What can we do to compromise to find a plan that would be beneficial to those who don't agree and those who do and I think it's silly that the left and progressives we'll just poohpooh the right into other science deniers. Are climate change a nice? That's not a productive conversation. That's not going to get you what you want and look. You may not want to bet down, but you have to recognise other people in this country too, and they all voted for Donald Trump. Ok, those people you dont like so I need to make sure I can have a conversation with them and you know. Maybe we can't do it. Maybe we can't let just means that are communiques is poor, let's not being me a nasty to each other. Admittedly I'm very critical of Cortez. I apologise for being frustrated, but if the conversation needs to be by partisan and moderate, if we want to make any substantive change in this country, I hope you agree
But you don't have to worry, we'll have a conversation about this common below. Let me know if you think what the green new deal will I, like the focus of this vetoes kind of how I'm frustrated no end by the far left, and other Democrats just can't come together on core issues, so common boulogne and we'll talk about it. I have more visible. My second channel Youtube outcomes lashed him cast news at six: p m. Follow me on Twitter, at TIM cast and I'll see you next.
