official who has access to vast media coverage, and one works from her bedroom, so are quite different. If you are working in socks from your bedroom, of course it’s more of an accomplishment to get media coverage than a Washington official insider who seeks out constant media coverage.

Saying the Green New Deal doesn’t do enough is a comment every reader could make. It’s quite lacking, so she was very polite about it.

I think your take is the correct one based on the posting history. Gore1FL Aug 2021 #92

Are you sure? She referred to it as "there" in the BBC interview on Monday muriel_volestrangler Aug 2021 #51

Yes, Malala is from Pakistan treestar Aug 2021 #53

I am not confused. Bev54 Aug 2021 #63

Well I can only tell you that an interview on TV she said she was still in Afganistan Bev54 Aug 2021 #62

President Joe Biden "Recognizes himself".. Cha Aug 2021 #83

Are you serious? "Biden doesn't recognize himself in the mirror when he gets up in the morning"? George II Aug 2021 #84

It's the establishment-neoliberal-centrist-third way-corporatist-status quo Biden that doesn't exist betsuni Aug 2021 #102

Great analysis, she! The body language here is the real message. Nixie Aug 2021 #114

So it does contradict the attempt at a point in the OP muriel_volestrangler Aug 2021 #64

No, it's saying one person's approach is as a polished Washington Nixie Aug 2021 #67

I don't think that ignoring Al Gore is Nixie Aug 2021 #74

"it does contradict the attempt at a point in the OP", what does that mean? What point? George II Aug 2021 #75

She may have said that because the "Green New Deal" is not complete yet and is still lacking details George II Aug 2021 #80
