OMG Al has reading comprehension issues AGAIN.

She is the Boss isn't she Odeon?
I2 today is not i2 of yesteryear. It is a knitting circle. Those that participate be they nice or asshats know their place and the price to be there. Odeon is the overlord

.Benevolent if you toe the line.

Think it is I2 of old? Even Odeon is not so delusional as to think otherwise. He may on occasionally pretend otherwise but his base is that knitting circle.

Censoring/banning/restricting/moderating myself, Calanadale & Scrapheap were all not his finest moments.

This one makes even less sense than your last one.

I can see why you don't like AOC. She's everything you're not.

SHE doesn't make sense. If you don't get it, that is completely on you.

Your problem is that she makes a lot of sense whereas Trump doesn't. Somewhere deep down I think you must know this. You obviously don't understand why, but that is to be expected from Trump apologists. There's a reason why idiots turn to other idiots.

Look, I KNOW you have no idea how what she says is unworkable, irrational and a little insane. The Democrats panicked when Mitch McConnell suggested putting the deal to vote. The reason is that as a means to virtue signal for "nice" but wholly impractical ideas is what it is. What it is not is a practical and implementable idea. Hence her dummy spit here and glossing over the criticism.

It is like me running for office and saying that I have a plan to bring in world peace, the eliminate  poverty,  end drug abuse and then being very fucking short on details and offering vague wishful thoughts to this end.

Now if you are "nice", you may want that too and even humour such an idea because "who doesn't want nice things"?

That does NOT imbue the position as being doable and if you are stupid enough to think otherwise that does not mean anything other than you have a problem with critical thinking.

I don't expect everything that AOC says will be instantly workable. She puts forward s lot of ideas that are a tad half-baked. But the goals and direction I can agree with. The ideas still need some work.

Is that a complaint about me using big words to confuse you again?

I'd rather her half-baked vision than the fully formed reality of Trump or HRC.

I sorta agree. But there are subtexts to each. And with that context, honestly, I feel that I 'get' what each
is generally saying.

Her ideas are completely baked and unworkable. It is NOT to say that you cannot sift through and pull a few bits from it and the isolate the rest of the stupidity and then with those elements you see some potential with, downgrade, re-work, and such and get some good out of it but THAT is not how it was presented.

I doubt everything in AOC's proposal is doable over the next ten years but her opponents seem to think that the alternative is to do nothing or even to go in the opposite direction. Their idea of debate is to focus on AOC's person and uninformed ridicule rather than the issues she's trying to solve.

The fact is that there's now precious little time to solve those issues.

Based on what working model are you referencing this to?
Which Climate change modeling has worked thus far?

Are you familiar with the Paris accord? The one that your hero left? Have you followed the news at all lately? Have you noticed the reports of increasingly extreme weather around the globe this year and the last?

Now, I know your hero's idea of fixing things is raking the forests while appointing a fake climate change panel, but most sensible people think this is not enough. Don't make yourself even more of a joke by pulling another closet climate denial
stunt here.
