Get out of the way Dianne Feinstein.

What the hell does that mean?

Here is a piece in the New Yorker:

The Hard Lessons of Dianne Feinstein’s Encounter with the Young Green New Deal Activists

https://www.newyorker.com/news/daily-comment/the-hard-lessons-of-dianne-feinsteins-encounter-with-the-young-green-new-deal-activists-video

That piece makes the same point the kids were making.

Yes we are running out of time. The time between now and doom's day.

Get rid of Dianne Feinstein. How much time would that save us?

Put OAC in the Senate where she is in the minority with dip shit in the White House. How much time would that save us?

Type Bob Dylan's lyrics. How much time does that save us?

Think of what could save us time:

Working to elect a Democratic Senate and President and we could save time by passing the Green New Deal.

Working in State and local governments could save us some time.

Kids going to Republican Senate leaders offices. That could save time.

The "my way or the highway" approach doesn't help either McKibben's or Sunrise's cause.. Where is his outrage over the video of those children being doctored? Who allows children to be used this way?

they might as well join the trump campaign for his re-election in 2020, because like Ralph Nader and Jill Stein, they sure aren't doing the environmental cause any favors if Trump and the Republicans get re-elected

The article is based on a doctored 13 - minute video released by the Sunshine Movement, a group led by and composed of AOC former campaign staffers. The encounter, in fact, was 20 minutes long and, seen in its entirety, sheds a totally different light on Feinstein and the engagement. The edited video is worthy of a James O’keefe Production.

The piece shamelessly manipulates and uses children as props in a hit piece targeting a Senator who has a long and sterling record on environmental issues.

Feinstein did not, as the doctored video implies, walk out yelling at the kids. She departed amicably after encouraging the kids to run for office, offering one of them an internship and mentioning her own recently released climate change resolution far more detailed than AOC’s nothing burger Green Deal – a proposal that is as substantive as a beauty contestants desire for world peace.

AOC (and every group she has spawned/supports) is an albatross for democrats entering the 2020 election cycle.

I'm undecided but Biden is on my list of top potential nominees. We need to have a woman on the ticket (top or bottom).
We have a number of outstanding women. Presently, should Biden be the nominee, I would favor Harris as a running mate. She's not only smart, she's tough as nails. Her debating Pence would be a hoot. She'd chew him up and spit him out.

Feinstein isn't going anywhere. She was reelected last year, 2018. We'll see if AOC lasts as long as the end of Feinstein's tenure. And if she does, maybe she'll have learned something by then. Because right now? Excuse me if I'm not impressed with a 2-month old congressional career.

Beyond the arrogance and hubris, that is.

The protest stunt did its job.

We are talking about the pros and cons of stronger Green New Deals and weaker Green New Deals.
