    Good question. Tell us. Since fossil fuels are NON-RENEWABLE, this is a really important question.

    Her positions on the issues are far more popular than those of Team Nut Bagger.........otherwise known as the Freedom Caucus.

    Garden-variety is hyphenated. Don't give me that "it's optional" nonsense. Minus 5 points. ;)

    yeah... she's more dangerous than any missile you could point at America... with just enough ignorance and righteousness to blow a big enough hole to sink the entire ship

    Ain't it though? I continue to maintain that no one on the left is even remotely capable of seeing themselves as other do.

    What you regard as VOC's "absurd ideas," many of us agree with and regard as long over-due. If implemented, her Green New Deal would accomplish what Trump promised & failed to act upon. It would really make America "great again," simply because it would mean America was taking the lead in fixing a potential global catastrophe.

    That's one of the things that gets to me. The right seems to think that we so enjoy living with the spectre of financial ruin from health care costs that we'll go to the ramparts and stand down the 101st Airborne to protect our insurance companies CEO's god given rights to send his daughter to the Sorbonne and have a hundred foot yacht. Also, having NO insurance is better than having to wait a little while for non-life threatening services

    The Green New Deal will require, as the supporters have admitted, much more central control. Anyone with a brain can see why. Free health care, free education, free babysitting, etc..

    The delusion I referenced was you thinking the right is "shuddering" in fear or whatever over AOC.

    None what ever. I know exactly how most leftists see me. I also know how most people on the right see me and how some of the weirder populists see. I did not come here to be universally loved and respected. If I was interested in mass adulation the last place I'd go is a politics site.
