While it’s important to keep mentioning the Green New Deal push due to its true goal of instituting an authoritarian style government in control of everything, including your life, which will take lots of your money, there isn’t actually much news on the Green New Deal, and what news there is often tends to be not the primary issue of the article. Because it’s not something anyone is really concerned with. But, hey, it might get the kiddies out to vote!
The Sunrise Movement Is Building An Army In The Early 2020 States
The Sunrise Movement is scaling up operations in Iowa and New Hampshire to mobilize young people demanding climate action to the polls in the early presidential primary states, organizers told BuzzFeed News.
“Our top priority is to build an army of young people to elect a candidate in the caucuses who will be a champion of the Green New Deal,†Kaleb Van Fosson, a Sunrise organizer based in Iowa, told BuzzFeed News.
Van Fossen is one of eight people working full time, along with 45 volunteers, on the Iowa campaign. Since early September, 1,425 people in Iowa have signed cards pledging to vote for candidates backing a Green New Deal, a 10-year plan to transition the US off fossil fuels in order to cut the nation’s climate pollution, create jobs, and tackle economic inequality. About 150 people have also registered to vote through the campaign, according to Sunrise. The group’s end goal is to get 15,000 students to pledge to caucus, and to register 1,200 students to vote before the Feb. 3 caucus.
In New Hampshire, the climate group has joined forces with the New Hampshire Youth Movement, which is dedicated to pushing the Green New Deal, Medicare for All, and free college. It has 13 full-time staffers and 122 volunteers combined. Unlike in Iowa, a third party cannot register people to vote in the state. So the campaign has instead gathered 2,789 pledges to vote. Its target is to get 14,000 people to pledge to vote before the Feb. 11 primary.
Interesting. This is starting to look like it’s really about hardcore Modern Socialist politics, rather than any real concern over a tiny increase in the Earth’s temperature. But, good luck getting all the kids to vote. They might come out for the primaries in a few states, but, they continuously fail to materialize during the General election. Further, do they actually think they will help the Democrat candidate win the general when their message is all about domineering centralized government?
Seriously, these kiddies have zero knowledge of the real world, and would most likely be shocked if the GND was implemented and they couldn’t do things like travel around a few states in fossil fueled vehicles while surfing the Internet on imported smartphones, taking selfies all over the place and eating meat. Heck, the government would take too much money to do travel.
I’m not sure they are thinking this through very well. Dominating their primaries with the most absurd extremists is a good way to lose any contested elections.
Our honored host concluded:
Well, duhhh! When you are still living with your parents, you aren’t going to gain any knowledge of the real world.
