There is some question when you can classify Harris/Walz as a movement and not a campaign.
But, IMO the harder question is when Walz will be a cultural icon.
When he becomes President at 68 and establishes a Green New Deal he’ll be the FDR of this generation.
IMO, it will come when he's a VP and boils down an issue into a couple of words in a way that is just common sense.
The Green New Deal is the most misunderstood concept of the left.
Yes please. The “Green New Deal” term is tainted, plus we can’t afford to wait until Walz is President
May I suggest…
“A Relatively Unheard of Agreement in a Mild Shade of Aquamarine?”
The basic parts of the Green New Deal were implemented by Obama and Biden.
That's the thing. Either people don't really know what it says or what's already been done.
They should run with "Make America Free Again". Remind voters that "great" doesn't necessarily mean great for them.
~~20% of students with free lunch? So this guy is still too far to the right.~~
Edit: that was old data, apparently they’re also joining the free lunch party
Let’s go for 100% all kids all schools!
