Socialist dingbat Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez introduced the “Green New Deal” which would eliminate cars, planes, and cow farts. It would also cause every building in the country to be destroyed, usher in universal healthcare, and provide for people who are unwilling to work. It’s a mess, a joke, and an unworkable nightmare, yet many democrats have signed onto it. Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell, who is a very funny guy, has called the democrats’ bluff and decided to bring the Green New Deal up for a floor vote. Cocaine Mitch vs. She Guevara is the epic troll battle we all deserve.
After Ocasio-Cortez, along with Senator Ed Markey, introduced the Green New deal, all of the democratic Senators running for president cosponsored it. Elizabeth Warren, Kamala Harris, Cory Booker, Kristen Gillibrand, and Amy Klobuchar think this silly plan to utterly destroy America is a neat idea. Mitch McConnell responded by saying, “Oh yeah? Prove your support with a vote.”

“I’ve noted with great interest the Green New Deal. And we’re going to be voting on that in the Senate. Give everybody an opportunity to go on record and see how they feel about the Green New Deal,” said McConnell.
Like I said, McConnell is a funny guy. He’s going to make the democrats either disavow this piece of shit or go on the record supporting. Either way it’s embarrassing for democrats and it’s definitely a big FU to AOC.
Somehow this gets funnier because Senator Markey, who helped introduce the Green New Deal is pissed that McConnell is calling for a vote:
Don’t let Mitch McConnell fool you: this is nothing but an attempt to sabotage the movement we are building. He wants to silence your voice so Republicans don’t have to explain why they are climate change deniers. McConnell wants this to be the end, this is just the beginning. https://t.co/GUxJ5HG2jb

This isn’t a new Republican trick. By rushing a vote on the #GreenNewDeal resolution, Republicans want to avoid a true national debate & kill our efforts to organize. We’re having the first national conversation on climate change in a decade. We can’t let Republicans sabotage it.

Could this guy be any more of a whiny bitch democrat if he tried? He introduces a garbage resolution and then balks when it is slated for a floor vote. If he does’t want the Green New Deal voted on, why’d he introduce it?
And Marky is wrong. This isn’t just the beginning of the Green New Deal, it’s the end. No democrat who cares about his or her political future is going to cast a vote for this ridiculous thing. None of the Senators running for president want to spend the campaign season explaining why killing all of the cows and eliminating the airline industry is a reasonable or rational thing.
If you want to prove how full of shit democrats are, make them go on the record about it. Last year a bunch of democrats in the House introduce a bill to abolish ICE, so then-Speaker Paul Ryan decided to bring that to a floor vote. It worked as all of the democrats who introduced the bill said they would vote against their own legislation.
This master-troll move from Mitch McConnell is brilliant. With Republicans in the majority in the Senate, there’ no way in hell the Green New Deal will pass. A vote however will force the democrat minority to show where they stand on socialism and stupidity. If they vote for it, they are laughingstocks and if the vote against it they are hypocritical bullshitters. It’s win/win for the Republicans.
