Joe Biden Just Lost Any Claim To Being A Moderate With His Embrace Of The Green New Deal
September 5, 2019 by Brandon Morse
"We hear a lot about former VP and 2020 candidate Joe Biden’s “electability.” This so-called electability stems from the idea that Biden is a return to a more moderate Democratic party, and away from the infection of radicalism that has seized it.
But anyone who was leaning on Biden for centrism is gravely mistaken, and it’s proven with his nod toward Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez’s “Green New Deal.” In fact, Biden not only thinks it doesn’t go too far, it doesn’t go far enough, according to the Daily Wire:
Biden made the remarks during a CNN town hall event on climate change that was set up in a way that sensationalized the issue with hysterical claims and featured numerous false claims from candidates.
“Do you think it goes too far?” CNN’s Anderson Cooper asked Biden about the Green New Deal. “Is it unrealistic promising too much?”
“No, no it’s not,” Biden responded.
Biden continued by suggesting that the plan actually did not go far enough in terms of laying out specifics for how it would be implemented.
The problem is that the “Green New Deal” is essentially a socialist takeover of the United States more than it is a climate bill. It calls for a massive restructuring of America’s infrastructure that is, frankly, so unrealistic that even Democrats were laughing at it. Even environmental groups are distancing themselves.
To this day, Ocasio-Cortez still hasn’t told us how we’re going to pay for it. What’s more, AOC herself has more or less admitted that it’s an avenue to a social justice driven society and the advancement of its agendas. What she’s not telling you is that her plan would also require a lot of materials we can only get from places like Russia and China, who would indebt us deeply that they’d essentially own us.
Embracing any of this isn’t a sign of centrism. This is radicalism, plain and simple. If Biden is embracing this kind of thing and even saying it doesn’t go far enough, then Democrats would do well to distance themselves from Biden as fast as they possibly can.
At this point, America has two options in 2020. It’s either Donald Trump or socialism. There doesn’t seem to be an option outside of these two."

New DCCC Chief Wants to Cancel Male Candidates
Lucinda Guinn agrees 'we shouldn't let boys run for office anymore'
Collin Anderson - SEPTEMBER 13, 2019 10:25 AM
"The Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee's newly appointed executive director wants to cancel male political candidates.
Lucinda Guinn, a former executive at pro-abortion fundraising giant EMILY's List, was named executive director of the embattled Democratic elections organization. The news comes as a blow to male Democrats, as Guinn has indicated on social media that she does not want men to run for office.
In a February tweet, Guinn appeared to agree with another user's proposal that "we shouldn't let boys run for office anymore."
The idea was initially raised by liberal think tank Third Way's senior vice president, Lanae Erickson, who asked, "Anyone else having the feeling that maybe we shouldn't let boys run for office anymore?"
"Sure do," Guinn said.
The DCCC did not return request for comment.
It is unclear if two male Democrats that supported the hiring of Guinn, Reps. Tony Cardenas (D., Calif.) and Scott Peters (D., Calif.), are aware of Guinn's potential ban of male candidates. Neither returned requests for comment.
Guinn's hiring comes at a time of turmoil within the DCCC. Former executive director Allison Jaslow, a gay combat veteran, resigned after the Washington Free Beacon discovered anti-gay and racist tweets sent by recently promoted staffer Tayhlor Coleman.
"#ThingsIDontRemember: giving a lesbian my number during Mardi Gras. Now she keeps calling me," Coleman tweeted with the hashtags "#awkard #yikes #homophobia."
Five other senior staffers followed Jaslow in leaving the DCCC in the wake of Coleman's tweets, but Coleman herself is still employed by the DCCC according to her Twitter bio.
Lawmakers from the Congressional Black Caucus and Congressional Hispanic Caucus were reportedly furious with the DCCC at a meeting announced in the wake of the Washington Free Beacon exposé.
Justice Democrats, the progressive group that backed Reps. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D., N.Y.) and Ilhan Omar (D., Minn.), fundraised off the DCCC mayhem. Ocasio-Cortez has previously advised Democratic donors to stop giving money to the DCCC.
Ocasio-Cortez's anti-DCCC sentiment was echoed by the freshman representative's senior counsel and policy adviser, Dan Riffle, who goes by "Every Billionaire Is A Policy Failure" on Twitter.
"The simple and obvious solution here is for Progressive Caucus members to stop paying dues to the @DCCC," Riffle said in a now-deleted tweet. "The DCCC is not an organization that backs any Democrat. They work to elect a certain kind of Democrat, and if you aren't that kind of Democrat why are you giving them money?"
Ocasio-Cortez did not return request for comment on Guinn's hiring."
