The Energy 202: Senate Democrats look for unity on eve of Green New Deal vote

Now with Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell scheduling a vote on the resolution next week to put senators on the recordAccording to two Democratic aides, top Senate Democrats are weighing a strategy of voting “present” on what climate activists and Senate Democrats are dubbing a “sham” vote.

“Democrats will not allow Leader McConnell and Republicans to make a mockery of the debate in the Senate on climate change,” Markey said in a statement. “This vote is a sham and little more than a political ploy to protect vulnerable Republicans from having to defend their climate science denial.” “He has no intention of taking action on climate change to ensure our generation has a livable future,” Sunrise Movement spokesman Stephen O'Hanlon wrote by email. “The only reason he is calling for this vote is to score some points for the oil and gas executives who bankroll his campaigns. This vote is a sham and Senators are planning to treat it as such.”

In turn, Democrats — even those who did not sponsor the Green New Deal — want to show as much unity as possible to spare colleagues the embarrassment of defeat. in response to McConnell to establish a select panel on climate change and to affirm that man-made climate change needs to be addressed by Congress. The latter resolution was co-sponsored by all 47 senators in the Democratic caucus.

Unity in Insanity. By golly sounds like the New Democratic Socialist Party.

Kudos for strategic response to ActingKingOfTheSenate Mitch McConnell. GreenNewDeal, MedicareForAll and HonestCapitalismNotSocialism need Democratic definition to stop Republican efforts to define by bad analogy. PURE CAPITALISM? $$$ to buy biggest army to crush competition.
