Of course, it's idealistic. It's a resolution. Resolutions are about principles. About taking a moral stance.
And between the moral stance that is idealistic, and the GOP's moral stance of extreme cynicism and denial, I'll take the idealistic side any day of the week. The GOP is morally bankrupt on this issue. It should be shocking. Somehow, we've gotten to a place where there are people who will spend more ink/time/outrage being upset at the naivete of the GND, though.
Kris, I think that's because there isn't much of a point to giving any more energy to a continual assessment of the GOP agenda. Trump identified that many people are unhappy with the state of the country, pointed to a few bogeymen, and has proceeded as a hybrid between a standard modern day republican (conservative nominations to the supreme court, lowering taxes, deficit spending) and an unfocused narcissist. Is the GOP going to come up with any proposals worth serious thought anytime soon?
If there is any proposal worth some critical thinking, it's the proposals coming from progressives. There is much benefit to be had from some rethinking of our approach to the environment, the economy, healthcare, and infrastructure.
The problem is that AOC and her partners are the de facto champion of these ideas, and they're creating a full sense of urgency with half baked solutions. I can't support someone who doesn't have good ideas just because they care about things that are important. People who might be sympathetic to intelligent approaches to addressing these problems will regard AOC the way we regard Trump.
After all, I'm also concerned about some of the problems (opiates, rural stagnation) that helped get Trump elected. But his half baked solutions and over the top rhetoric result in him receiving no support from me and others like me.
