Duhhhhh?
No matter your political affiliation this is truly funny. And we are paying this
woman around $170,000 plus benefits, and a pension for life … unbelievable!
"If we change our times with the sole intent of increasing the amount of daylight we receive, that’s an extra hour of sun shine that will warm the planet. That’s one extra hour per day of extra heat warming our already unstable planet. We need to repeal Daylight Savings Time as a primary measure to decrease the rate of climate change. Less hours of sun shine equal less heat hitting Earth’s surface. We’re running out of time!”

All you need to know is that she's a meat puppet whose brother submitted her name to a casing call by Justice DEMOCRATS, a radical organization that astroturfs "progressive" candidates, lol.

Maybe you’ve heard the warning: The country is beset by a menace. A conservative minority is holding Congress hostage, extracting policy concessions over the will of the majority. And it’s leading the nation to fiscal, environmental and moral ruin.

Maybe you haven’t heard this part: These dangerous conservatives are DEMOCRATS.

“I am talking about the conservatives in the DEMOCRAT Party,” said Saikat Chakrabarti. “That’s who we need to counter. It’s the same across any number of issues—pay-as-you-go, free college, “Medicare for all.” These are all enormously popular in the party, but they don’t pass because of the radical conservatives who are holding the party hostage.”

Not long ago, this would have been an outlier position even among liberals. Today, it’s the organizing principle of an empowered segment of the DEMOCRAT Party, one with a foothold in the new Congress.

Chakrabarti is chief of staff to Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, the closest thing to a new celebrity liberals have had in years—a 29-year-old bartender.

Although it’s Ocasio-Cortez who gets all the headlines, she wouldn’t be in Congress in the first place without the group Chakrabarti founded: Justice DEMOCRATS, a central player in the ongoing war for the soul of the DEMOCRAT Party.

It was the Justice DEMOCRATS who recruited her, providing enough infrastructure to take down a party leader. And it is the Justice DEMOCRATS who see Ocasio-Cortez as just the opening act in an astonishingly ambitious plan to do nothing less than re-imagine liberal politics in America—and do it by whatever means necessary.

If that requires knocking out well-known elected officials and replacing them with more radical newcomers, so be it. And if it ends up ripping apart the DEMOCRAT Party in the process—well, that might be the idea.

“There is going to be a war within the party. We are going to lean into it,” said Waleed Shahid, the group’s spokesman.

Not all of their efforts have been successful—of the slate of 2018 candidates Justice DEMOCRATS recruited, only Ocasio-Cortez won.
