Demokratska zastupnica iz New Yorka Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez napala je u subotu Republikansku stranku (GOP) — zbog toga što poziva na glasanje o Green New Dealu koji je predložila.
Nazivajući poziv “blefiranjem” koje je osmišljeno kako bi pomoglo republikanskoj kampanji, novopečena demokratica je tweetala:
The GOP’s whole game of wasting votes in Congress to target others “on the record”, for leg they have no intent to pass, is a disgrace.
Stop wasting the American peoples’ time + learn to govern. Our jobs aren’t for campaigning, & that’s exactly what these bluff-votes are for. https://t.co/ELzpQhlezo

Mnogi su brzo odgovorili, naglašavajući da je čudno kako netko tko predlaže zakonodavstvo ne želi da ljudi glasaju o njemu.
.@AOC is upset because @SenateMajLdr is bringing up a vote on the Green New Deal. https://t.co/i6eD12BueC

Seems odd to introduce legislation with lots of fanfare if you don’t want it to receive a vote?

You don't want the legislation you proposed to get a vote?

“Ovo je vjerojatno prvi slučaj da aktivni kongresmen zagovara NE glasanje o svojim vlastitim idejama”, komentirao je jedan korisnik Twittera.
This has to be the first time a sitting congressperson has ever advocated for NOT holding a vote on their own ideas.

A zatim je nekoliko njih primijetilo da je dvostruko čudno što Ocasio-Cortez ne želi glasanje o specifičnom zakonskom propisu — pogotovo zato što je govorila o klimatskoj borbi kao o “Drugom svjetskom ratu” svoje generacije i tvrdila da nam je za život doslovno preostalo 12 godina.
“We have 12 years to do this or the world ends. Literally.”
“Stop trying to waste time by voting for my legislation.”

If planet is in a crisis and this serious proposal (totally not a stunt!) is the only plan to save it, you would think @AOC wd be: 1) thanking McConnell for scheduling a vote & 2) working to get votes to pass it.
In fact, shouldn’t she be mad at Pelosi for not doing the same?
