DiFi had a group of ten year old students come into her office trying to get her to vote for the New Green Deal. This is just a short truncated clip out of the 20 minutes they were there (this group who shortened the video wanted DiFi to look bad). These kids think if she doesn't vote for it they will essentially die in ten years. They would only learn that from their parents (or possibly teachers). So messed up.
Props to DiFi for not giving in.

Yes I saw that, it looks like a whole generation is being brainwashed in schools, it's not much different to he old Communist re-education camps.
It's a popular conservative theme on this forum that the education system has been brainwashing students to be liberals, socialists, commies etc. On the other hand righties say that the 2016 election proves that conservatives have gained the upper hand in the country. So I'm having a hard time finding consistent thinking here.
LR is a mostly-conservative teacher in a red state. I know he teaches math, but don't recall him arguing that his school is pushing other teachers to promote liberalism. How could we have so many red states if students were *really* being indoctrinated to be lefties?

I have to hand it to some of the jr. House Members!
I have to give them credit for throwing some concepts on the table- even if they are a still bit GREEN, and open for discussion!
Some people are going to immediately demonize the Concepts strictly for the typical political smearing of their political adversaries - others are going to ask WHY?- while many others are going to ask WHY NOT?
Personally, I'm somewhere a little twixt-n'-between the Why's and the Why Not's.
I want to hear from the side of the people that are saying we can't afford to move our country in the direction of developing and using Green Energy Resources. and I also want to hear from the people who are explaining why we "Can't" afford to "Not" move in the direction of the development of- and in the use of Green Energy resources!
I'll weigh those two opposing ideas, and I'll stand behind the politicians that come away from the debate with the best answers that match my own beliefs about what I personally believe we should be doing to improve our quality of life for us now and generations to come!
I also want to hear how we can best be World leaders and set good examples for the rest of the world.
1. 2. 3. GO!
Convince me- one way or the other people!
Thank You in advance!
And, I'd appreciate it, if everyone would leave the typical political party demonization out of the debate!
Because that never resolves issues and just gets in the way of intelligent debate and the hope for progress!

Brainwashed means believing what science teaches instead of right-wing fossil fuel execs. The kids are right. They are not brainwashed but educated in science.

Look, I am a Democrat, and I want to be fair in this debate.
If we are going to be concerned with Cow Farting- We must be fair about it and discuss how eating at Taco Bell could also be destroying our Ozone layer! LOL!

I am referring specifically to climate change, it is taught to kids as if it's an incontrovertible certainty when that's very far from the truth. The New Green Deal is a case in point, to my mind that is no more than a Trojan Horse for full blown socialism. That wouldn't fly over here never mind in the US.

brainwashing indeed - or at minimum using kids who don't understand complex issues as political props.
The adult was a shameless pig "the kids are worried about their future /it's their future" etc.
I'm no fan of DiFi with her sickening NSA ways,and her disgraceful performance at the Kavanaugh hearing;
but I think she was attentive, and gave good answers to the p̶o̶l̶i̶t̶i̶c̶a̶l̶ ̶p̶r̶o̶p̶s̶ kids

Yeah, I saw that earlier today. Their little skulls full of mush have been soaked with stuff they can't even understand. Already making them miserable in their precious few childhood years, robbed of simple joys.
Their parents decided to inflict the misery of the adult world, Twitter, FB, and politics on them already.

Abortion rights dogma can obscure human reason & harden the human heart so much that the same person who feels
empathy for animal suffering can lack compassion for unborn children who experience lethal violence and excruciating
pain in abortion.
Unborn animals are protected in their nesting places, humans are not. To abort something is to end something
which has begun. To abort life is to end it.
