The Green New Deal is not meant as a serious proposal — it’s meant to “ask for 100 things and get 5% of it done.” I admire AOC, she’s single-handedly pushing the Overton Window in the US to the left.
Bullshit on the “nationalization of everything…”
Why does everyone conflate social democracy with Chinese or Soviet-style authoritarianism? Nationalize housing? Please. You know that the US home-ownership rate is only middle of the pack — most social-democratic countries (hell, even China), have a higher rate than the USA?
If people don’t have to worry about $500/mo health insurance premiums and $10,000 deductibles, maybe they may actually be able to afford a mortgage. What a thought!!!
