Not a single Dem Senator voted to advance their New Green Deal

Ok, ok, ok…today is a day to celebrate that “we” found the limit of lib foolishness and it’s spelled AOC.

Sadly we haven’t found the limits of TrumpCon foolishness. I fear where that limit may lie.

Me too. I thought when I voted, thank God for checks and balances. :sunglasses:

I find it interesting that McConnell believes in man made climate change… he just doesn’t want to do anything about it.

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.

Odd.

Oh wait . . . .

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.

It’s almost like McConnell isn’t interested at all in actual legislating or regular order.

Yeah… because they knew it was a stunt.

He did this knowing the outcome. He said he believes in man made climate change yet he refuses to lift a finger to do anything about.

Nobody does. Why doesn’t the EPA take themselves off the grid or turn off their A.C. in the summer? Anyone can do something. Very few actually do.

Rather silly argument you have there.

As big of a stunt as the one who sponsored it?

Not a bill - a non-binding resolution.

This is just theater, not policy.

It was also a stunt.

A lot of hay is being made over a non binding declaration of goals with no legislation attached.

They ducked themselves with a poorly written memo attached to it.

It was amateur hour.

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?

Weird. I thought AOC was the leader of the democratic party.

I thought we only had 12 years left? Why would Democrats not vote YES?

It’s not an actionable bill. There is nothing to debate.

It’s the equivalent of the contract with america.

Damn. Does that mean republican media loses this scare tactic?

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.

No one wants to participate in Mitch’s political theatre.

At least we know the Republicans aren’t that concerned with governing.
