What is the 'Green New Deal' proposal drafted by Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez?

Instead of embracing cheaper, greener travel methods, Ocasio-Cortez logged 66 airline transactions during her 2018 campaign while only using Amtrak 18 times, according to the Post.

Cortez responded on Twitter, arguing that "living in the world as it is isn't an argument against working towards a better future."

I also fly ✈️ & use A/C

Living in the world as it is isn’t an argument against working towards a better future.

The Green New Deal is about putting a LOT of people to work in developing new technologies, building new infrastructure, and getting us to 100% renewable energy. https://t.co/DZGE1WwLbn

“I also fly & use A/C," Ocasio-Cortez wrote. “The Green New Deal is about putting a LOT of people to work in developing new technologies, building new infrastructure, and getting us to 100% renewable energy.”

Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez is once again in the spotlight after a report that she threatened to put democrats on a list for primary challenges if they didn’t stick to voting Democrat.

She says there is no list:

Again, didn’t threaten a primary.

I was upset that 26 Dems forced the other 200+ to vote for a pro-ICE provision at the last min without warning.

Because I think an agency that pins children down + forcibly injects them w/ antipsychotic drugs shouldn’t be given more power.

If you’re mad that I think people SHOULD KNOW when Dems vote to expand ICE powers, then be mad.

ICE is a dangerous agency with 0 accountability, widespread reporting of rape, abuse of power, + children dying in DHS custody.

Having a D next to your name doesn’t make that right.

And then goes on the attack on the moderate democrats who actually voted in a bipartisan fashion:

Mind you, the same small splinter group of Dems that tried to deny Pelosi the speakership, fund the wall during the shutdown when the public didn’t want it, & are now voting in surprise ICE amendments to gun safety legislation are being called the “moderate wing” of the party.

What is amazing is that Democrats keep whining that Republicans aren’t acting in a bipartisan spirit – until Democrats get into power and then they demand absolute abject loyalty from the members of their party. They beat Republicans over the head for not thinking for themselves, but then beat their own Democrats for daring to not just vote with the party. AND you won’t see the media point this out – instead they’ll push the narrative even more.
