7. The Green New Deal is a plan to fight climate change.

Do you have a better plan or do you not believe in climate change? If you have a better set of "ideas" then please let us know. Since AOC appears to base her "ideas" on science and compassion, if your ideas on how to keep this planet livable are good, and based on science then I suspect she would like to hear them as well.

As far as the term "LatinX" goes, it is part of an academic approach to trying to deal with the inherent gender bias built into the Spanish language. I will agree that there is a large faction that don't like the term "LatinX." It is unpopular, kind of like "Antifa" is unpopular, "Woke" is unpopular, and a compassionate Jesus who supports the poor is unpopular. I don't particularly love the term, "LatinX," but I respect the reasoning behind it.

Gender pronouns are interesting things these days, and there are people who get angry about them. I am not one of those people, but I am one of those who hopes that AOC's "ideas" are a strong part of our future.
