I just made the mistake of looking at my dad's fb to see if he has anything new public (because I haven't spoken to him in over 2 years and am not fb friends). Holy crap are there a lot of messy memes about AOC being stupid. Obsessed. (this fascination with Maxine Waters and Pelosi too).

I have to admit that I was taught that the Presidency is term-limited because it killed FDR and Congress didn’t want that to happen again.

Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez quits Facebook, calls social media a ‘public health risk’
The New York Democrat said she stopped using her account personally, but her campaign still sponsors several active ads on Facebook.

AOC is the brightest political star born fully of the social media age, and how her political image has functioned online is emblematic of how society now experiences politics. A detailed examination of her digital persona offers a glimpse into the new digital partisanship — how Americans cleave to their ideological matches. Her rise and portrayal offer insight into the central qualities of contemporary politics: relatability, authenticity, and communities built around their identity. And the intense enmity toward her shows how those very same qualities can repel people.

1) The team behind the Green New Deal is alarmingly under-informed about the subject matter2) The Green New Deal doesn't address the role of housing, urban design, or zoning in carbon emissions
― Benjamin-, Friday, 3 May 2019 21:01 (four years ago) link
Sorry, I mean the role those things play in increasing carbon emissions.
― Benjamin-, Friday, 3 May 2019 21:03 (four years ago) link
The Green New Deal, however it shakes out, is bound to be a flawed vehicle for addressing human-caused climate change. That's because it is a hybrid, attempting to build a coalition, where some reps who would not vote for a "climate change" bill will vote for it as a jobs bill and sell it to their constituents that way. That's how politics work. The decades-long billion dollar campaign of climate denial has a long tail and we'll be lucky to get anything moving before 2021.
― A is for (Aimless), Friday, 3 May 2019 21:11 (four years ago) link
there are a lot of important things that aren't addressed in the Green New Deal. for example, it doesn't include anything about the mechanisms by which a price will be placed at carbon, which is probably the single most important step to reducing carbon emissions.
that's because at the moment, the green new deal is a resolution, not a bill. it's 14 pages, mostly a list of goals. i don't know what will be in the actual proposed legislation, but it will be many times longer than that.

Did the filmmakers just document those four candidates or did they follow a larger number and then trim in post? I love all four of them, and I'm psyched all four are running again.
