I appreciated it too.

Not sure why people interpret it as a political statement, as I try to avoid politics as much as possible. I saw an abstract connection between this product, which I've been critical of, and GND, which I've also been critical of. Then their own advertising appropriated the slogan. Clever.

When I criticize something, it's because the idea has problems (or my own understanding has problems), not because it's associated with a particular political party. I don't even know what party The Green New Deal is most commonly associated with because I don't follow politics. Socialist party? Green party? I dunno.
