Excuse the rant, but Republicans are making a lot of hay over Ocasio-Cortez’s Green New Deal and it does appear that the whole thing is incredibly impractical and the roll out was an utter disaster.
McConnell is going to put this up for a vote as a trap, and major Dem candidates (Warren, Harris, Gillibrand, Booker) have already endorsed the GND wholeheartedly. Now they will have to vote for it — or flip-flop.
I believe Klobuchar is the only major Dem who has not endorsed it.
I like most of our candidates, with the exception of Gabbard and Bernie (who I would still vote for if they were nominated). And I like AOC too. She’s media-savvy, charismatic, and I love her energy. But she’s also young and naïve. She has a lot of promise but she is not ready to be the leader of our party.
Democrats need to stick with bread and butter issues.
