Some of these AOC proposals are very polarizing and even those of us that are inclined to support Democrats and take very progressive positions, are not supportive of her short legislative track record.

Without bringing the current Trump thread nonsense over here, some of these proposals pose far more risk to Democratic presidential chances in 2020 than anything that does or does not come out of the Mueller report.
I love the idea of trains everywhere but that is going to be very expensive.
I do like the idea of all buildings being modern and energy efficient. The govt already requires that all new "govt used builidings" be LEED silver at minimum.
Making a state of the art building shouldn't be a bad thing. Only problem is in a city like NY some of the technology becomes out dated or not in budget when a project comes together. Example. My company helped build the 2nd ave extension. All the light bulbs are FLORESCENT!!! The MTA will spend more money changing light bulbs in the future then it would have to put in LED's up front...0 -

Second, the concepts of living wage, universal healthcare, etc. should not be connected legislatively with climate policy. I don't agree with it from a principled standpoint or from a political strategy. It's too easy to run against something that is essentially a progressive wet dream.0 -

The MTA asked for a change order on the lighting but thought that it was too expensive to do. It is going to cost them $1000 to change a lightbulb in these new stations...0 -

Ggyyarr... shiver me timbers lol!
I'm thinking if they made a free colouring book with a three pack of crayons... she'd garner a lot of votes. While colouring, morons could sit on their porch drinking iced tea, proud of their work staying between the lines, and proclaim, "This is making America great again."
America isn't ready for socialism of any kind. Many still think they are an invention or a lottery ticket win from living the American Dream. Corporations have stolen a page from religion's playbook and have people eager to wait in line for the promise or hope of something grand."My brain's a good brain!"0 -

On the scale of "crazy ideas", I'd far rather have hers than his. Other places that share some of her crazy ideas, like northern Europe, tends to be pretty nice places to live. Other places that share Trump's crazy ideas tends to be dictatorships.my small self... like a book amongst the many on a shelf0 -

She is like Trump in a couple of ways. She overuses twitter, and if she feels a tweet is attacking her she is quick to respond, just like Trump. Politicians need thick skin and should not be debating on Twitter...Give Peas A Chance…0
