With her nice showing in New Hampshire, and Elizabeth Warren fading, the media and the #NeverTrumpers have taken to calling Klobuchar a moderate. She’s anything but. Back in 2006 she was all for border security. In 2020, she’s completely flipped, wanting all border fencing done away with. She will no longer support E-Verify unless it is paired with a blanket amnesty. She further wants to dramatically increase bringing the dregs of 3rd world nations into the U.S.
Here’s her climate page
Amy is deeply committed to tackling the climate crisis and believes that it is an urgent priority for our communities, for our economy and for our planet. She is a co-sponsor of a Green New Deal and has signed the No Fossil Fuel Money Pledge. On day one of Amy’s presidency she will get us back into the International Climate Change Agreement. On day two and day three, she will bring back and strengthen clean power rules and gas mileage standards that the Obama Administration put into place.  And she will put forward sweeping legislation that provides a landmark investment in clean-energy jobs and infrastructure, provides incentives for tougher building codes, promotes rural renewable energy and development, supports a landmark carbon pricing system that does not have a regressive impact on Americans, promotes “buy clean†policies, and puts our country on a path to achieving 100% net-zero emissions no later than 2050. Read more about Amy’s climate policies here.
Doesn’t look particularly moderate, eh? Bringing back, or at least attempting, since it was on hold due to lawsuits, Obama’s Clean Power Plan, which would skyrocket energy costs. Giving the federal government even more control of the way we build our homes.
From her detailed plan in the above link
Make politicians accountable to voters, not special interests. Again and again, bold action on climate has been blocked by the power of special interests. As President, Senator Klobuchar will put people first by working to pass a constitutional amendment to overturn Citizens United and get dark money out of our politics, as well as establish a campaign finance system that increases the power of small donors through a matching system for small donations. She will investigate potential wrongdoings and hold energy companies accountable.
Hmm, so, using Hotcoldwetdry for the Dems pet peeve, Citizens United.
Hey, and you know how they said they weren’t trying to force people to take trains?
Strengthen transit and commuter rail networks and support low- and no-carbon alternatives. As President, Senator Klobuchar will refocus federal transportation grants to prioritize transit projects, first and last mile connections, and bicycle and pedestrian improvements. She will also develop new incentives for transit systems and school districts to replace their existing bus fleets with low- and no-carbon alternatives.
Revitalize freight and passenger rail. Railroads are an energy- and cost-effective way for producers to bring their goods to market and get people where they need to go.
Huh.
Innovate in international shipping and aviation. International shipping and aviation account for a growing share of carbon emissions. As President, Senator Klobuchar will support research and strengthen international agreements to reduce emissions from sources like aviation and shipping.
And she’ll make it too expensive for you plebes to fly.
Create a “Buy Clean†product labeling system. Many consumers are concerned about how their purchasing decisions affect the climate. As President, Senator Klobuchar will create a “Buy Clean†product labeling system to give consumers clear information about products that are produced to minimize their climate impact.
More Big Government interference. This continues on for quite some time, with her wanting Los Federales involved in everything, including farming in the heartland Democrats so hate, then getting to
Support communities that are most directly experiencing the effects of climate change. Traditionally marginalized communities including African Americans, Latinos, Native Americans, and Americans with disabilities are experiencing some of the most severe effects of climate change. Senator Klobuchar will prioritize assisting these communities as they adapt to the effects of climate change.
Same old diversity garbage, with Amy telling these people that only Los Federales can take care of them, which includes building them houses and massively increasing things such as SNAP.
She further wants a carbon tax. And increasing the corporate tax to 25% to pay for all this. And close the trust fund “loophole.” Do away with the non-existent subsidies for fossil fuels companies. Stop all new fossil fuels permits. So, don’t say she’s even close to being a moderate. She’s as Authoritarian as Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez.
