Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez reacted to an effort to bring a procedural vote to the floor for the Green New Deal. Would she be happy now that one of her favorite initiatives is being considered? Under certain conditions.<\/p>\n

From AOC’s twitter:<\/span><\/p>\n

Stop wasting the American peoples’ time + learn to govern. Our jobs aren’t for campaigning, & that’s exactly what these bluff-votes are for.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

She’s addressing her colleagues in Congress. From our understanding, Congress, as a legislative body, legislates. The President “governs”. One could see this at the state level, where “legislature” is one of the terms used for the legislative branch, and governor is used for the executive branch.<\/p>\n

At issue here is a move, that both sides have used, as a way of conducting political theater… Or for political strategy. Both sides use this tactic to “shine the light” on certain politicians, or on a group of them.<\/p>\n

Didn’t Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez happily join with others with rolling the Green New Deal out? If she’s not excited about it now, then perhaps she’s as guilty of political theater, and of campaigning on the job, as those that she tells to “learn to govern”.<\/p>\n

Onto one of the strategies for bringing the Green New Deal up. The Republicans are seeing how far the Democrats are willing to support those, within their party, who are farthest to the left .<\/p>\n

From Fox News:<\/span><\/p>\n

By pushing for a vote, McConnell hopes to see how far Democrats are willing to go to align themselves with the party’s new progressive wing.<\/p>\n

“Just a good old-fashioned, state-planned economy. Garden-variety 20th-century socialism,” McConnell said in a recent speech. “Our Democratic colleagues have taken all the debunked philosophies of the last hundred years, rolled them into one giant package, and thrown a little ‘green’ paint on them to make them look new.”<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Some of the push-back from the Democrats could include a vote of “present”. The explanation they give is that they’re going to protest the GOP’s move. However, their actions suggest another reality.<\/p>\n

The Green New Deal isn’t workable if you’re looking at improving the economy in an environmentally friendly way. If you want to destroy the economy and reduce the population, this is your plan.<\/p>\n

For those who have little to no knowledge of history, economy, human nature, etc., who think the government could transform the country into their utopia, the Green New Deal provides political and likability capital.<\/p>\n
