Sen. Cory Booker speaks during a town hall meeting in Rock Hill, S.C.
Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell , who called the plan a “far-left wish list," held the vote in hopes of dividing Democrats -- pitting liberals who have embraced the idea, including the 2020 presidential hopefuls, against moderates from Republican-leaning states. Yet some Democrats running for president insisted that their vote for"present" does not mean they will give up their push for the ideas behind the Green New Deal.
Indeed, other 2020 candidates on Tuesday indicated ways they'd like to push forward ideas within the resolution. Yet doubling down on such research is not incompatible with the Green New Deal resolution, Warren noted.

Because their new boss AOC told them to vote present.
The Green New Deal is the political game. MCConnell called their bluff and now they're stuck trying to explain why they didn't vote for the very resolution they introduced. They look ridiculous.
Dems play games while we have 20 years left before the world is destroyed.
Oh, please. Did y'all not see the 'debate'? Nah, they should have a serious debate if they want some serious votes.
Because the Green New Deal is a communist manifesto and congressional Republicans immediately seized on it & pounced without a second delay. Democrats made it too easy for them.
Because it's a disaster for Americans
Because who ever came up with it must be out of there mind
It's hilarious. These weasels 'endorse' it to play to the loony base--then vote against it.
Because they know it's stupid. Because they don't want their names on something stupid.
They're too alt-right.
