If Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez ran as President, with Whitehouse as VP, that would be great too!
Which do you like best? Socialist redistribution from working to nonworking people or economy killing environmentalism?
No one is asking for redistribution of wealth to people who don't work or refuse to work. The fact is that even many with full time jobs or even, in some cases, more than one job, can't afford to house and feed their families on current minimum legal wage levels. It is not uncommon nowadays for people with full time, minimum wage jobs to be homeless because there is no housing available to them that they can afford to pay for. Meanwhile, some extremely wealthy corporations and individuals are paying no taxes at all and/or getting enormous government subsidies and welfare checks they don't need, due to corruption. As I have said before, Republicans have nothing against redistribution of wealth as long as it continues in the current direction into the hands the wealthiest of the wealthy who don't need or deserve even most of what they already have, let alone yet even more wealth.
As for environmentalism, that is the best way to ultimately protect and
save the economy. Nothing is ultimately more destructive to our economy than spoiling and polluting our environment. We have pointed out numerous studies, that you obstinately refuse to even read, that conlusively show that green energy technologies and policies not only do not hurt the economy, but create millions of new jobs and entrepreneurial opportunities and wealth, as well as making the world a safer, healthier and happier place to live.
No precept or claim is more suspect or more likely to be false than one that can only be supported by invoking the claim of Divine authority for it--no matter who or what claims such authority.
