Last week, democratic socialist Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez unveiled her “Green New Deal,” and the responses have come fast and furious from the political and commentariat classes, with supporters on the left rushing to defend it and critics on the right holding it up for ridicule. But what do average people think about the GND, including AOC’s supporters?
Campus Reform took some time to talk with a few self-styled progressive students last week and learned that when they heard some of the goals spelled out in AOC’s since-deleted explainer and FAQ, their confidence in her plan waned dramatically. In a lengthier man-on-the-street video posted this week that has begun to garner some attention, including over at Hot Air, “Barely Informed With Elad” went to a Green New Deal rally in New York City to ask supporters to explain how exactly the proposal would accomplish its ultimate goal: turning back the “climate change crisis.”
