It's to try to divide Democrats ahead of 2020. Very smart move from the turtle cunt
Call his bluff and pass legislation that will change the world for the better!
There's no way it would pass with a Republican majority anyway. McConnell knows this.
I was just thinking of replying with "that'd be awesome but they'll never get the republican numbers they need" and it occurred to me how fucking sad it is that something as important as preserving the ability of our planet to support human life is a partisan issue.
Imagine if it did pass, though. Holy shit, just imagine the shade of McConnel's face if that were to happen.
He'd be almost begging Trump to veto it and promising he won't let a veto override happen.
He should really be for it as members of his species are endangered by changing climate.
It's also probably worth sharing that I don't think that it would matter even if it did pass. The bill itself doesn't contain any policy changes. It's more or less a document affirming the goals of what a "real" Green New Deal" would have. Have a look.
These people believe they receive literal rays from an old man with a beard on a cloud, do you really think anything that doesn't directly affect them has any import at all. MConnel's family was almost bankrupted by his polio and his response was "just get rich" because he's a sociopath. The two most powerful people in the most powerful and richest by far political arm outside of the Chinese military are defacto sociopaths, and should have zero leverage over their opn lives much less anyone else's.
