good to see AOC on Biden's policy panel for climate change

stacey abrams is hot trash.

who honestly cares? unless they're going to change course and implement the GND it doesn't matter.

how can you say it doesn't matter. she is given a chance to do something.

because civilization may very well depend on passing something like the GND?

yes it does. her being on the policy team is better than no sign of anything GND-like in the next 4 years. a bird in the hand is worth two in the bush.

I think youre purposefully misunderstanding.

this is nothing more than some lame attempt at "unifying" that broken ass party while avoiding any need to actually adopting/implementing a policy that meets the moment

if biden cared about implementing a GND in the next 4 years, he would literally just say he supports it lmao.

in this instance i dont care about biden. i care that AOC is put in a position to influence the policy that the administration will put out.

if climate change is the imminent existential threat we all think it is, then i will take the chance to vote on having something done about it than nothing at all in the next 4 years...

Biden and his advisors know what the GND is lol. this is nothing but a tactic to try and get those progressive voters he so desperately needs.

i understand that, so be it. it's unrelated to my argument.

i don't believe AOC's appointment is just a token appointment to draw in progressive voters. that would be a complete turn of character on her part

there's nothing that implies she would be complicit in it.

lol ok bro what do you want me to say against this level of cynicism. i cannot argue against this.

if climate change is this looming danger, i will take the possibility of something done about it in the next 4 years over nothing at all.

Nancy Pelosi isnt even worth 100 million, not to mention her husband is a literal businessman

america

Biden adopts Warren's bankruptcy plan
Biden adopts a version of Bernie's student loan forgiveness plan
Biden creates a task force and coordinates with Bernie
Biden discusses policy with Yang on podcasts
Biden reported saying with the advent of Corona he would need to make FDR esque moves (sans internment camp and racism)

Somewhere in the distance

Synopsis is somewhere just saying "Lol, but he wont do anything, my all seeing eye tells me so".

Idk how you live as a defeatist without necking yourself ngl. Sounds depressing as hell

This isnt even hoping for a utopia like presidency. This is just the bearest of minimums in regards to voting a candidate due to policy when the opposing incumbent is trash

she purchased stock in slack month before covid blew up too

Fam, that isnt Nancy buying it. Its her husband, this is unironically what he does for a living and their combined networth is mostly just him iirc

Also how is this a bad thing?

Burr and Loeffler sold stocks before a crash knowing the coronavirus would impact the market and (iirc Im not super familar with the stock market beyond the basics) devalue their stocks.

This is just buying stocks at a low price and that twitter post doesnt even state he bought the most favorable stock

transactions are in her name. obv she’s not making them personally but you’re not at all sketched out by her network? Don’t think this has ever affected her political career?

zoom stocks easily could’ve been purchased by a***ysts making prediction that its value would shoot up during covid as industries, etc. shifted to wfh

Why would you be sketched out. Her husband literally went to Harvard business school

If you google those transactions btw her husband comes up

Jesus seriously?

Theres no reason to be sketched out about Nancy Pelosi in the context of monetary funds.
She's worth 16 million and her Husband is a venture capitalist.
This is really w.e, I personally wouldnt care

At this moment I'd say that she's a longshot. Also, I feel like Joe's not announcing his VP until June.
