Green new deal has been super popular in Europe.
But still, all she has to do is adapt her climate policy and call it something else. Even just banning new oil development and single family zoning would be a huge step up from Biden. She could also ban new fossil fuel cars by 2030, subsidize local public transport projects, and subsidize grid connections for wind and solar. None of those things are significantly propagandizable.
