AOC Releases New Video On Green New Deal While Still Refusing To Demand A Vote

What’s the point of releasing a resolution if you’re not going to demand a vote on it? Heck, AOC had a meltdown when the Senate voted on the Green New Deal as submitted by co-author Ed Markey

AOC Previews Green New Deal: Oil Workers Replace Pipelines with Mangroves, Indigenous People Heal the Land

Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-NY) and the Intercept website collaborated on a seven-minute video that takes place in a future where Democrats control the House, Senate, and White House, and America is fundamentally transformed into a socialist country where fossil fuels are eliminated, everyone is guaranteed a union job, and the Green New Deal saves the planet.

Ocasio-Cortez tweeted on Tuesday: Surprise! “For months we’ve been working on a very special + secret #GreenNewDeal project,” and promised to reveal it on Wednesday.

But, alas, the project wasn’t figuring out a way to force the House to hold a full floor vote on the GND, as Pelosi has already sidelined it and I doubt it would pass. Nope

She posted the video, which she helped write and narrate, on Instagram, giving viewers another look at the socialist values she hopes to put in place in the United States.

The video begins as an older Ocasio-Cortez with a streak of gray hair is riding a bullet train from New York to Washington, DC. She recalls being elected to Congress as part of “the most diverse Congress in history — up to that time.”

She says that for the first time “children in our community” could see people like them “navigating the halls of power.”

And then the video gets down to business, laying out a scenario in which Exxon-Mobile and politicians hid the truth about climate change and ignored scientists warnings about man-made global warming.

Yeah. Crazy

It’s been getting warmer month over month since I came to Washington in January. People who lie to you and say climate change isn’t real aren’t living in reality.

Ooops, sorry, wrong one

Climate change is here + we’ve got a deadline: 12 years left to cut emissions in half.

A #GreenNewDeal is our plan for a world and a future worth fighting for.

How did we get here?
What is at stake?
And where are we going?

If we have only 12 years left, why is she not demanding a vote?

As for Ocasio-Cortez’s future, Ileana replaces her in 2028 in the “first cycle of publicly funded election campaigns.”

“When I think back to my first term in Congress, riding that old-school Amtrak in 2019, all of this was still ahead of us,” Ocasio-Cortez says. “And the first big step was just closing our eyes and imagining it.”

Is there anyone who thinks that AOC is actually riding Amtrak from NYC to DC and back? Does she even take a train? According to her FEC filings she flies way more than taking the subway.

But, she’s still not demanding a vote. I mean, if the future is worth fighting for, a vote should be held, right?
