Hmmm McConnell is the one that said their should be an up or down vote on a bill to help. Not a single dem felt compeled to put their names on the record as agreeing.
There’s no hurry, it’s a political move according to the sponsor of the bill. They don’t really want a vote on it until AFTER the presidential election in 2020. Guess it must not be that important of an issue that they want to wait and debate 18 month +.
Democratic Sen. Edward Markey, who co-sponsored the proposed legislation with Ocasio-Cortez, said that the Green New Deal was intended to spur debate throughout the 2020 presidential election about how best to tackle the delicate issue of climate change – not to be put to a quick vote on the Senate floor.
I know. It’s always silly to ask the liberals live up to their own standards or set any kind of example. Why isn’t every single home in Hollywood off the grid? Are they too poor to convert?
Then why did a dem introduce it, and as I posted – say it was only to spark debate for the 2020 election. if there is nothing to debate on the issue, then every dem should have voted to send it for an up or down vote.
