That's the problem. It shouldn't be symbolic but it is. Climate change is Autumn Jul 2019 #63

It was probably written by AOC's Hollywood consultants LibFarmer Jul 2019 #65

the GND isn't an actual plan so that makes no sense JI7 Jul 2019 #10

It's a series of bullet points with practically no detail or "plan". George II Jul 2019 #12

So far. Most of the plans by other candidates are works in progress too. bluewater Jul 2019 #15

So you concur that it's not a "plan". George II Jul 2019 #19

Pardon? bluewater Jul 2019 #21

There is no plan - and you just admitted it LibFarmer Jul 2019 #48

But most of the other candidates aren't demanding that their colleagues embrace.... George II Jul 2019 #40

Who are these "Wall Street Donors" of which you speak? And what specifically did Biden actually say? George II Jul 2019 #41

The GND is as much a plan as Biden's proposal is. You do know that a proposal is a plan? Autumn Jul 2019 #71

The "green new deal" hasn't even been written yet, those responsible for writing it.... George II Jul 2019 #11
