Every two weeks or so, Jon Chait decides to troll the Left. I'm not sure why he feels compelled to do this. Some of his points have merit. The broad outlines of the "Green New Deal" are fuzzy and overlapping and some of them are counterproductive or inefficient. Kind of like the first New Deal.
He seems to want to pick an online fight with Alexandra Ocasio-Cortez, which is really a form of digital suicide. Yet, he feels compelled at times to waddle into the threshing blades.
There's an argument to be made that the GND is a flawed proposal that needs tweaking, but Chait's tactics aren't designed to get there. He's dismissive and even petulant in his criticisms.
Why?
