The plan appears at least in part aimed at blunting criticisms of environmentalists and others on the left that Biden's presidential campaign is out of step with the current Democratic Party.

You think Biden would offer Cortez a spot in his cabinet?
I think it would be pretty disappointing if he didn't at least consider it, although not surprising. I don't think Biden is really into being challenged on anything, if he can help it. And AOC would certainly challenge him.

How long has Biden been in politics? He'll choose those he has been most loyal to him. I can not see him selecting a 1 term member of Congress to be in his cabinet.

He is embracing the Green New Deal.
I don't know if I would define it like that. The NY Times drew the distinctions and the apt comparisons. The New Green Deal didn't break intellectual ground across the board. And no way should she have a cabinet position. Her immaturity would eliminate her from my consideration, I can say that. Her comments to Delaney telling him to 'sashay' away was yet another example of her not quite being ready for the big time.

Agreed. No chance AOC would be part of the Biden administration. Not much of a difference between appointing her or Betsy DeVos other than politics. Neither should be considered qualified for a job heading a department and certainly not a cabinet level position. As much as I rag on DeVos, I'm afraid I'd do the same thing with AOC. She needs to stay where she is for a few terms and get a little seasoning and experience before I'd trust her in a high-level position.

Which I find troubling, and I think it's shit like this, among other things, that harm the party. But like Tempo said, he is at least embracing the New Green Deal (for now), so he's not completely close minded. And he's not Trump. He doesn't have to surround himself only with "those who have been most loyal to him". I think that is too extreme an assumption. I still don't think he'd pick AOC for his cabinet, but not because of that. Just because he'd be scared that she in particular would challenge him too much.

I agree with everything but the last sentence. Being a cabinet member means you are in charge of at least one massive agency in federal government. It's not just a consultative position. You should not only be an expert in the specific field, but you should have deep and relevant leadership/management experience. At her age and dearth of experience, I don't know how one could appoint her to be the leader of the federal bureaucracy.

Here is a good topic she discusses. Wage increases.
I hate when someone says "for a bartender, $174K a year is quite an increase!" Sure it is but look where she has to live now, what her job entails, whom she has to hire. That 55k all around for her staff won't last long if she wants to retain good people.
I like her stance on this and opposition to what she is advocating is pure uncalled for bias.
