Sunrise Movement just stole Pete Buttigieg & Pres Biden's Climate Corps.

12. Sunrise Movement isn't a "youth movement", it's an adult movement that uses teenagers....

....for their public demonstrations. It's not unlike many other "youth movements" we've seen in the past here and in other countries.

This same organization famously staged a demonstration outside Nancy Pelosi's office in November 2018, led by a member of congress. They demanded that a climate committee, Select Committee on Energy Independence and Global Warming, which was disbanded years before, be revived.

Unmentioned was that weeks before Speaker Pelosi had already announced she was reviving it.

Then, when Pelosi asked that member of congress to be a part of the select committee the response was, "I'm too busy".

It should also be noted that Sunrise Movement is a "Carey" committee, a hybrid PAC and Super PAC:

NOTE: This committee is a so-called Carey committee, a hybrid PAC/super PAC.

Carey Committee: A Carey committee is a hybrid political action committee that is not affiliated with a candidate and has the ability to operate both as a traditional PAC, contributing funds to a candidate's committee, and as a super PAC, which makes independent expenditures. To do so, Carey committees must have a separate bank account for each purpose. The committee can collect unlimited contributions from almost any source for its independent expenditure account, but may not use those funds for its traditional PAC

In other words, Sunrise Movement is a "dark money" committee.

In the 2020 cycle, they had independent expenditures opposing several Democratic candidates. Those expenditures weren't much at the time, since they only converted to a "Carey" committee in mid-2020. Look for these to be much higher in future elections.

Finally, in the aftermath of January 6, did they think that a demonstration that "blockaded every entrance to the white house [sic]" would NOT result in arrests? I suspect that's what they wanted.
