Probably something about finding a community college to stumble into because you feel intellectually inferior throughout most of the day, if I had to guess.

Continue with you “brown woman bad” posts. You’re not worth the time.

And we're extremely happy to not be in the group you described in your post . . . at least I am.

But . . . what's your point? We don't need to be considered in all of this NGD discussion because we're not living in a city with the infrastructure required to get to wherever it is AOC wants us to get?

Of course not. That's why the statement I replied to was ridiculous. The entire point is that to make real change we'll have to move away from the track we are on now which is that "everyone", if you want to use your modified definition, drives everywhere for everything. No single strategy is going to do that; there will need to be a coordinated constellation of strategies to really achieve something significant. One of those will be finding ways to encourage reductions in car ownership and use. So even with your definition, though not specified earlier, no, everyone will not need a new car, but only if action is taken.

So, I'm back to my assertion that the complaint was ridiculous and so have been the rebuttals to my posts. Both your and his thinking are really limited here. Try and actually think about what I am saying and you'll see you are arguing against something I am not claiming.

If that means developing currently undeveloped land to start looking like bigger American cities no thanks . . . so I don't think a huge chunk of the country will be on board for this . . .

Your group of folks who have never had a need to own a car will likely still not need to own one . . . outside of replacing every major roadway in the US with light rails or something else it won't happen. Rural America has stayed rural for a reason.

Nowhere, also:

People can’t find examples of conservatives mocking the AOC dance video in Newsweek’s ‘conservatives mock’ article

Besides this one, single, stupid article,
where are all these tons of liberals folks making these accusations against conservatives? Maybe they’re there, I just haven’t heard it from anyone besides this one article. Let alone from a significant number of liberals.
 
As long as these people run the democratic party Alexandria will mean nothing. People attack her for her interview on Anderson Cooper who do you think Anderson works for the people? It's funny watching right wing claim that Anderson Cooper is trying to help Alexandria out LOL he's worried about his rich friends and his 100's of millions. Anderson is a stooge for the corporate neoliberal machine.

This is a great video.

I'm all for improving various technology to cut down on carbon emissions, etc. But she seriously wants to do away with use of fossil fuels within 12 years?

Then a 60-70% tax rate on some portion of 10 million of income?

Or that's a ridiculous reply to a valid criticism of a ridiculous post. About the first sentence, I made no such assumption, while your post, the one I was replying to, made a ridiculous assumption, that "everyone" will need a new car.

About your second line, I won't step foot in your insane country (until some laws change).

About your third line, I'm not dismissing rural anything while you're making dumb illogical assumptions. No matter what kind of vehicles people are driving, the energy demands will be unsustainable if they continue to increase. To reduce energy use, getting as many people as possible onto public transport will be a key element. Obviously things are different in lower population areas. But you made it sound like a much larger issue by saying "everyone." You already subsidize rural people left and right, so programs to help them be more green, including reduced EV prices, don't seem out of the realm of possibility to me. There are lots of options for people of varying kinds of accessibility issues, unlike trying to, say, figure out how "everyone" is going to get a new car.

Try to expand your thinking a little. You don't strike me like a bad person, but a lot of the time you come across like Clint Eastwood talking to the chair.

Public transportation in the US in all but the largest cities in the US is very sparse at best. And to get it anywhere near to anywhere in the US would take a hell of a lot longer then 12 years.

So to make this possible you would have to out law fossil fuel vehicles and require everyone to replace them.

So how is that done. This only makes sense to people that have never been in or traveled in the US to anywhere other than urban areas.

She sounds like she has never seen anything of the US outside of her neighborhood.

I didn’t know you were not from or had no idea about the US. It is a very different place as far as Transportation and space goes.

You are always welcome to visit and people here for the most part are nice.

I’ll buy you a decent American beer (there is some good ones)if you are out my way.
 
Hey I like her. We need some young blood to push these old Democrats who only do enough to keep their position.

If I just copy-pasta their links you'd hand-wave it away with another 1-liner.
