You’re remarkably consistent in your behavior, lol.

Ok then take that one off the list of your other explanations and then let us all know which one is your intended spin. Either way, your ineptitude on this topic seems to be indicative your support for a plan that seeks replace planes with light rail...goid news for Hawaii!!

They can’t even rollout a simple version of the proposal, but you should totally trust them to nationalize several major industries and run most of the US economy.

No one is sure about whatever you’re talking about. Can you switch to English? It might help a bit.

Who is saying that light rail must or even can entirely replace air travel? Light rail and bullet trains work very well in Europe, Japan and China. They are an economically viable option in certain areas and circumstances. Why can't they be added to the mix of travel options available to Americans? Do you think Americans inherently lack the ingenuity and engineering skills to make them a viable and attractive option here as well?

Besides that, light rail, at least, already works well in quite a number of American cities.
No precept or claim is more likely to be false than one that can only be supported by invoking the claim of Divine authority for it--no matter who or what claims such authority.

The "Green New Deal" is a Green Dream, but compared to the Russian/White Nationalist Dream of Trump, it's at least equally deserving of consideration. :lol:

I feel about this like I do about the Parkland kids. I don't think they have many answers but their voices are important and the status quo sucks. We've heard enough excuses, evasions and threats from the NRA. Same for the folks willing to fill our water, air and earth with endless crap.

Good News!
Mitch is putting the GND up for a vote in the Senate. Time to get on record.

Good thing that the final copy doesn’t have those parts in it about eating aborted babies and outlawing Christianity, but most Trump voters already believe that Democrats want to do those things. Not sure if stating a preference for weaning off of fossil fuels some day can top those.

Can anyone explain what 'racial equity' means in the GND?

I'm serious when I say I'm not following you here.

I just saw this:

https://assets.documentcloud.org/docume ... al-FAQ.pdf

It's Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez's now-deleted FAQs regarding the GND. Man, that's a really amateurish document.
