A message from the future with Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez

Its good to hear that the whole plan worked out and to learn about how AOC saves the world in the future. 

What if we actually pulled off a Green New Deal? What would the future look like? The Intercept presents a film narrated by Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez and illustrated by Molly Crabapple.

Set a couple of decades from now, the film is a flat-out rejection of the idea that a dystopian future is a forgone conclusion. Instead, it offers a thought experiment: What if we decided not to drive off the climate cliff? What if we chose to radically change course and save both our habitat and ourselves?

We realized that the biggest obstacle to the kind of transformative change the Green New Deal envisions is overcoming the skepticism that humanity could ever pull off something at this scale and speed. That’s the message we’ve been hearing from the “serious” center for four months straight: that it’s too big, too ambitious, that our Twitter-addled brains are incapable of it, and that we are destined to just watch walruses fall to their deaths on Netflix until it’s too late.

This film flips the script. It’s about how, in the nick of time, a critical mass of humanity in the largest economy on earth came to believe that we were actually worth saving. Because, as Ocasio-Cortez says in the film, our future has not been written yet and “we can be whatever we have the courage to see.”

I haven't felt this good about something political in a long time. The comments are hilarious though.

She is a childish lunatic puppet, and you are a moron if you think any of this plan is feasible. This entire video was just one big emotion based argument, also known as propaganda.

She is a narcissist.

The GND is a fantasy that would crash the US economy, remove its status as a economic and military superpower and do absolutely nothing for the environment or global warming

I think you are too harsh in your comment.
OK, she is very young woman without any political experience but she have hearth and desire change something.
She sees that things in society do not work and rich people become more and more wealthy and the poor become more and more poorer.
Social inequality increases, industries are closed (automobile for example) etc.
At least she is trying something and now government should do next step and see what is realistic to apply and do in the following period.
Surely, some ideas are good and politicians should do something about it, environment, climate change etc.

It doesn't matter how well intentioned her fantasies might be if they are still just fantasies.

Luckily, even some democrats joined republicans in order to reject GND vote in congress. I never thought I would say that but hopefully, the american political system reached its peak of idiocy and soon it might stop degrading and throw people like Ocasio-Cortez away from the political field until they get more power.

Building a nation with this kind of approach is most likely brilliant but is really hard to execute a type of idea. Raising children to become a nature servant is really a good thing. However, since we are in the generation where the influencers are really different than the fairytale we adore, It is really hard to raise them to become a nature enthusiast.

If we really want these to happen and for us to acquire a lot of laborers to serve the globe, then we have to make sure to use the influencers as our priority for the herd to follow their great footsteps. If we really want a chance, the government is not needed and one we only need to do is to participate one by one.

The stupidity she brought onto the table is on a whole other level, same for the other "fresh faces" of the democratic party. They are what i would call clickbait in a human form. They spew bs that has literally no way of coming to fruition nor is it thought through or consistent. People like her is the reason Trumps gona win again lol

Exactly, after planting a fantastic vision in peoples' heads, and after getting elected, then it's the same old song with new players.

This is also called politicians lying.

Simpe as that.

why should anyone care about those communists, communists arent good with money you know, they work like a unreliable central bank, if they communist arent willing to suffer they are a big problem because they will continously cause costs and enrich the central core aroun the money printing press

good luck

Yup also the way she got elected is god damn absurd. Even Peloci  sayd that you could essentially take anything, even a cup and put D next to it and it would win in that district. But social media is blowing it all out of proportions, same as it does with the far left coverage. Theres a very vocal minority that is pushing this progressive narrative but luckily the majority of people are still sane

She is taking credit for doing something that will save the world, but the world is not "going to end in 12 years" and what she is proposing is not going to save anything.

narcissist -

noun

a person who has an excessive interest in or admiration of themselves.
"narcissists who think the world revolves around them"

I think the above describes AOC pretty well.

Every election there is some new hope that will save us all but they only care about money and power.  Democrats and Republicans are the same, don't let that show they put on fool you.  They all serve the same masters.

None of these ideas were created by AOC.  You guys do realize that people in congress create legislation, not ideas, don't you? The green new deal dates back to the 2000s and all of the ideas in it are research based and have been around much longer.  AOC is simply the acting salesperson.  

Not only is this all feasible/non-fantasy, its all been done before and is being done in other countries.   Anyone who has done 30 seconds of research would know that something like medicare4all is not only proven feasible, but also proven ideal.  It sucks that there are a lot of smart people out there intentionally spreading misinformation to people who won't bother to do the basic research before regurgitating such lies.

Its all eventually going to happen for sure but the question is "how much damage are we going to allow before we make the shift?"  It should have happened in the 90s, was due in the 2000s, is urgent in the 2010s, and the 2020s is our last decent chance.  It would be a shame to make all of these changes in the 2030s after hundreds of millions have been displaced and entire ecosystems have permanently collapsed but that is what is at stake.

by majority of the people, do you mean the 19% of the people who do not support the green new deal?

What you have there is a survey that says 81% of totally uninformed people like good things. Surveys are not science. Surveys as any scientist knows are totally able to be manipulated top to bottom. I don't even think you read your own source, because if you did you would see it all it proves is people like nice things.



Make sure you read the fine print of the question they asked.

"Some members of Congress are proposing a “Green New Deal” for the U.S. They say that a Green New Deal will produce jobs and strengthen America’s economy by accelerating the transition from fossil fuels to clean, renewable energy. The Deal would generate 100% of the nation’s electricity from clean, renewable sources within the next 10 years; upgrade the nation’s 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. How much do you support or oppose this idea?"


Oh that's right, the question was phrased in such a way as to create the pretense that it is a given this plan is viable and nothing more given. Additionally from your own report you will see the majority of the 966 respondents have never heard of the deal, which means no one had any idea what they were saying yes to.



Well would you look at that? It seems nearly the EXACT number of people who have no idea what it is also support it. WHAT A COINCIDENCE! By the way, the number you meant to say was 18%, I know the dying 3 legged hamster in your brain is going "HEY BUT THAT ONLY ADDS UP TO 99%!". This is what people who know how to actually read statistics call a margin of error. In summary top to bottom your entire statement is wrong. Just because you want something bad doesn't magically make it scientific. Go back to grade school Captain Postmodern.

Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez is one thing. She's an attempt to distract from the truth. Don't ignore her, but also don't let her silliness ruffle your feathers. Simply get on with making the right things happen.

She should have narrated that video in the OP in her black voice...

She is not the brightest bulb. Let's hope it's a fake photoshopped image. She can't be that stupid. Oh wait...
