green new deal

Pelosi and Pallone-- allies of the Sickness Industry... betrayers of Democratic votersMaria Cantwell (D-WA) was alarmed by the oral arguments in the latest attempt by Trump and the Republicans to kill Obamacare in a Texas court. Two of the judges seemed determined to throw the entire ACA out.

The 10 most recent polls that measured the public's feelings about voting for Congress next year all came up with the same conclusion-- that the Democrats have this one. The polling average is about 6 points in the Democrats' favor with a Morning Consult poll from this week showing the Democrats ahead by 12 points, enough the flip the 50 seats we're looking for.

The poll shows that global warming is a low priority for most Americans, despite leftist claims that global warming will destroy the planet in 12 years.

Lomborg said that the Democrats' proposals are too expensive, as Beto O'Rourke and Joe Biden estimated the cost at $5 billion, Elizabeth Warren submitted a $2 trillion climate plan, and Washington Governor Jay Inslee proposed a $9 trillion plan.

Before we get into the seat a Democrat can capture, we have to realize that there's a super-vulnerable red seat, held by a Democrat who is up for reelection. The state's PVI is R+14 and Trump won that state 62-34%. Their House has 77 Republicans and 28 Democrats and their state Senate has 27 Republicans and just 8 Democrats.

There has been a lot of talk how Biden is the only viable candidate-- meaning Frackenlooper and Delaney are not viable, just Fox News trolls at this point-- who has not taken a position on the Green New Deal. And how he's the only 2020 candidate who has refused to sign the No Fossil Fuel Money Pledge. Well, that's not actually true. Trump has also refused to sign the No Fossil Fuel Money Pledge-- Trump and Biden.

I don’t write much directly about climate collapse, even though by any measure it is by far the most important issue any of us will face in our lifetimes. And I can gauge from my social media accounts that, when I do write about environmental issues, my followers – most of whom I assume share my progressive positions – are least likely to read those blog posts or promote them.
I have to consider why that is.
