    How does one politician doing well in a popularity poll mean most of the party hold their views?
    Is Harris far left too, she got 59.4% to AOC's 61.8%?
    Twelve of the sixteen Dems asked about were rated moderates.

    Spring 2025 Poll


    What does this even have to do with the topic?

    As for this being seen as an 'out there' topic, farm animals and their shit is the largest source of methane emissions in the US. It's a pollutant beyond GHG. Can't ignore agriculture if you want to reduce methane emissions.

    That may or may not be true but a 30-something-year-old former barista turned Congress Critter from the Bronx "might not be" the right messenger for that problem especially when she's jet-setting around the nation with a grumpy old Marxist manufacturing RNC campaign commercials...... ;)

    This is not to say that the Pachyderms should not be worried about her!!!!
    AOC is a much more formidable threat to the RNC than Kamala ever thought about being.

    Think about it.
    She's a 35-year-old Bernie Sanders in drag, and even though she's not exactly a crossword-puzzles-in-ink kind of girl, she's deeply authentic - if not authentically deep.
    She says lots of zany stuff but she doesn't look like she's trying to be anything OTHER that what she is.
    Take it or leave it.
    No code switching.
    No walking back stuff she did 20 years ago - because she was in junior high school back then......:ROFLMAO:
    Unlike the last two ladies that ran - she's also comfortable in a crowd and you don't have to say "for a" immediately after admitting that she's attractive.

    Some of the far left see her as a good bet to tick off that last EEOC block for the POTUS gig....... ;)

    1800's Era of Buffalo: Causes of Their Decline - All About Bison
    "How Many Buffalo Were There? Estimates of bison numbers vary from 30 to 75 million. 50,000,000 to 60,000,000 are the most common numbers cited as total buffalo population in the early 1800s."

    A dairy farm produces as much waste as a big city? No way, Cornell profs say - newyorkupstate.com

    Can't prove the Democratic Party is mostly far left extremists, so you toss out herrings. Which have nothing to even do with the methane pollution AOC and I are talking about.

    There are 86.7 million bulls, steers, cows, and calves in the US.
    United States cattle inventory down 1%
    Plus, 74.5 million hogs and pigs on US farms.
    United States hog inventory down slightly
    There is a number advantage to now vs historic bison before we get into differences from a wild lifestyle and factory farm practices.

    Then poop solids != methane emissions. If you clicked my EPA link, you'd see this.
    [​IMG]
    Manure management is the methane from poop. 9% is sizeable, but not a main contributor. What is is the 25% from enteric fermentation; the methane from burps and farts of those 160+ million farm animals.

    You should go back to trying to prove the Dems are radical leftists.

    You bring up another subject to distract from the methane emissions and AOC to distract from from the Democratic Party not being a mass of extremists from the far left.

    If you actually have something to say, try using your words.

    in what universe - where even dem's didn't want her last election - would conservatives suddenly flock to
    "the border czar"
    "the significance of the passage of time"
    "unburdened by what has been,"
    "we know community banks are in the community"
    "We will assist Jamaica in COVID recovery by assisting in terms of the recovery efforts in Jamaica …"
    "We also recognize just as it has been in the United States, for Jamaica, one of the issues that has been presented as an issue that is economic in the way of its impact has been the pandemic."
    "So to that end, we are announcing today also that we will assist Jamaica in COVID recovery by assisting in terms of the recovery efforts in Jamaica that have been essential to, I believe, what is necessary to strengthen not only the issue of public health but also the economy."

    or this pearl of wisdom, when asked by NBC's Craig Melvin about the administration's coronavirus mitigation strategy -
    "Does the administration say, ‘You know what, this strategy isn’t working. We’re going to change strategies,’" Melvin said. "Is it time?"

    Her response was, " "it’s time for us to do what we have been doing, and that time is every day"

    Or -on a violent Chicago shooting - "We've got to take this stuff seriously, as seriously as you are because you have been forced to take this seriously."

    etc. ad nauseum.

    Trump has a border czar. Make a note that one is okay now.
