Of course, they don’t mean that China Joe should slap any restrictions and taxes on their lives, just on those of Other People
A youth group helped Biden win. Now they want him to fix climate crisis
Joe Biden will have to navigate a path for the most ambitious climate agenda ever adopted by a US president through not only stubborn Republican obstruction but also an emergent youth climate movement that is already formulating plans to hold him to account.
A record turnout of young voters, a cohort riven by anxiety over the climate crisis, helped Biden beat Donald Trump on the 3 November election. The Sunrise Movement, the youth-led progressive climate group, reached 3.5 million young voters in swing states and now wants to see a return on these efforts.
“We will have to see if Joe Biden is true to his word when he says that climate change is his number one issue but rest assured the movement will be there to remind him every moment of the way,†said Varshini Prakash, co-founder of the group, which surged to fame last year after a viral video showed a fractious encounter between the Democratic senator Dianne Feinstein and young climate activists who had occupied her office. “We delivered for Biden, now it’s his time to deliver for us.â€
Biden has called the climate crisis an “existential threat†to the US and has outlined a $2tn plan to decarbonize the electricity sector and create millions of jobs in clean energy. This package is far more ambitious than the Democrat’s original climate plan, which groups, including Sunrise, successfully pushed to go further.
Too bad we can’t just apply everything to the little climate cultists, make them practice what they preach. He, we need experimental groups to see how things go, right? We could start with
Zealots push limits, and no societal movement moves fast enough for them. It’s the impetuousness of youth for the most part.
Connies rarely have to worry about these things other than to be on guard to block any progressive advance. Connies never have new ideas, just new lies to keep things the same.
Abortion causes breast cancer! Masks cause Covid! CO2 doesn’t cause warming! Tax cuts pay for themselves! More guns, fewer crimes! White people are superior to other people!
Reason and negotiate honestly and firmly with activists. But don’t entertain positions that are flat wrong. No, abortion does not cause cancer. No, masks do not transmit Covid. No, we can’t stop all use of fossil fuels immediately.

English translation: gullible kids.

He means repressive. And Conservative ideas still work, as Trump has proved. It’s what people like Jeffery had to try to steal the election.

for once, he’s right.

None of them are flat wrong.
Only you are.
More hate filled speech designed to elicit anger from the other side.
Where is the Olive Branch Elwood. We know you want a Civil war. We know that Russia in 1900’s used Civil war to take down the powers that be. You actually have deluded yourself to think that the 30 or 40 million of you who are actively pursuing the destruction of the USA can ultimately persuade the Military which will blow your asses away if necessary will side with you.
Like all the Military who has spent their lifetimes fighting against people like you will suddenly throw up their hands admit they are transsexuals and mow down the other 250-300 million Americans toting guns.
Hate is indeed the drug of choice that has replace their loosening grip on the plantation of poverty.
What reason and negotiation do you propose with activists whose sole purpose is the destruction of America?
The progressive Mr Dowd wrote:
Your sentence assumes that ‘progressive advance’ is actually an improvement rather than a regression; conservatives recognize that not all advances are good for society.
It was certainly an improvement to move toward equal rights for everybody — not that it wasn’t without economic consequences — but when social engineers try to push Affirmative Action to try to make up for past discrimination, it stops being forward progress and becomes simply discrimination in another direction.
It was an improvement to allow homosexuals and the transgendered to live their lives without fear; it was not an improvement to use the force of government to try to compel normal people to accept homosexuality and transgenderism as good or normal, or to agree to the delusions of the mentally ill so as not to hurt their precious little feelings.
It was an improvement to support the First Amendment, to be more protective of people’s rights to freedom of speech and the press; it is not good progress to come up with ridiculous ‘hate speech’ notions, or start firing people for their political views.
The jury is still out on whether or not abortion causes cancer. The main problem is every time a study shows they do the abortion industry steps all over the research and the transmission of the information. Normal for leftists, if you say something we disagree with we simply cut your free speech off.
Masks can and have caused Wuhan Red Chinese Puke. This occurs in humid areas where bacteria is collected in the mask moisture and when masks are used for longer than six hours without being washed in disinfectant (not Tide) or thrown out and replaced with a fresh mask.
Regardless masks dehumanize and depersonalize individuals into a common mass of humanity more suited to socialist societies than free societies.
Just one more example of how when the activists control all information, no one can tell what the truth is about anything. If only there were a profession that could be a trusted source of unbiased information. The world is just too big a place and the information sphere too vast for everyone to depend on personal observation for everything.
Do you cover your mouth when you cough or sneeze ?
Of course this also could???? End up transferring viruses onto your hand and then onto public surfaces like door knobs
But I still cover my mouth
Please take a look at the results of mask wearing in countries like S Korea and Taiwan which both have small fractions of the per capita case loads of the USA
S DAKOTA now has the highest per capita death rate ANYWHERE
Personal Freedom ??? That is what the right wing said about Ronald Reagan when he forced states to enforce mandatory seat belts and child safety seats in cars
Should that also be a “personal choice�?
Hairy you conflate issues.
Driving a car is not a right. Nor is it necessary for every day survival. No one forces you to drive a car.
However you are forced to go to the grocery store to eat and survive. Driving a car is not critical to your mere survival. EATING is.
And why do you care if people in South Dakota Die? They will always vote against your interests. Your Faux outrage is a bit apparent.
In South Dakota people are big boys and girls with the facts. They do have the internet. They do have everyone on the planet telling them Covid-19 CAN BE SERIOUS. They choose freedom. They wear masks. You act as if they are all standing in giant crowds sneezing on each other.
I get your afraid. We know that lefties are terrified and depend on Antifa to sucker punch conservatives for your defense but try to get a grip. There are vaccines. Two of them now. In a matter of months this will all be over and guess what.
There will be less conservatives to vote cause we all committed suicide by purposefully giving each other Covid-19.
We went over that John, Reagan wanted the opposite, but the SCOTUS ruled otherwise. Even left a link so you could read it. Can you read, John?

Whether abortion leads to a greater risk of cancer is almost irrelevant; abortion has a 100% risk of death for a living human being. It is only by defining an unborn child as not a ‘person,’ the way blacks were defined as not people but property, that the pro-abortion lobby and its fellow travelers can justify it.
This is an important point! For the socialist ideals of the left to ‘succeed,’ the rights of the individual have to be subjugated to the needs of the State, and depersonalizing individuals is a step along that road.
What Trump is fighting against:
On the floor of the Senate yesterday Mitch McConnell gave a speech criticizing Trump for daring to want to end our Presence in Afghanistan. Pulling out will hand the country over to Russia, China and Iran and destabilize our allies.
Pulling out is bad. Staying there for another fuking 20 years is good.
Mitch Must think Biden the warhawk has won the election to already be pounding the table for WAR, WAR and MORE WAR. Joe Biden will give them that.

Congrats progressives. You anti-war people who we on the right agree with. We are tired of war and you have elected a WARMONGER to keep up the wars and Cocaine Mitch is now giving speechs and pounding the war drum before Trump’s corpse is even cold.

In 2002 The same reporter that reported Trump said our troops were losers was the same reporter that universally changed the presses mind to believe Hussein had WMD’s and we should go to war.
The same CIA and INTELL SERVICES the right embraced has now embarked on a mission to destroy the presidency of Donald J. Trump so that Mitch McConnell can go back to beating the drum for Endless wars.
CONGRATS PROGRESSIVES. This is what you voted for.
