To add to this cursed discourse:

I was one of the folks involved in writing the @AOC, @EdMarkey, & @sunrisemvmt GND—you know, the one people actually know about—and I can tell you definitively that the Green Party GND was not something we drew from or even looked at once.
If you're gonna stake a claim on who used the words first (which you shouldn't, that's dumb) ...

Thomas Friedman had a Green New Deal.

Barack Obama talked about a Green New Deal.

...and all of that was before Howie Hawkins and the Green Party came up with his Green New Deal.
Some of us are serious about building people & political power to win real material change for working people, our planet, & future generations.

Others are interested in calling people who are effective in doing that "sellouts" on Twitter so that they can grift more followers🤷‍♂️
Anyways, 8 days to kick the climate denier out of the White House then continue the fight for a GND. That won't be accomplished by voting for the Green Party or by attacking AOC on Twitter.

But, it can be accomplished by taking action w/ @sunrisemvmt here: http://smvmt.org/victory
