In reply to the discussion: Veteran Democrats wary of climate push by Ocasio-Cortez and her allies [View all]DonCoquixote
(13,616 posts)57. Hello
yo do not build power you will never get it. We should have had a framework up 20 years GO, but thanks in no small part to the Joe Manchins and Mary Landreus, we never even dug the first spade for a foundation. That is what AOC is doing, yes we do nto have power, but she is doing the worl to ensure that we do.

Nukes and coal can no longer compete economically. We just have to stop their corporate welfare.

I agree in that the newly elected do not yet have first hand experience with the national stage.
