At the tail end of the debate Biden said that he does not support a congressional resolution called the Green New Deal.
Trump then said that Biden had just lost the radical left vote and the President is actually quite correct.
The Green New Deal was drafted by progressive legislators Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-NY) and Sen. Ed Markey (D-Mass.).
Remember that Progressive democrats are the most radical of the bunch.
One morning in 2018 Miss Cortez found some college kids protesting outside Pelosi’s office, Pelosi had recently been elected as the incoming speaker. These kids were protesting about the climate and other issues and called themselves THE SUNRISE MOVEMENT.
I believe The Sunrise Movement is just another arm of Black Lives Matter.
Cortez decided to join their protest. She later adopted their cause which is now called THE GREEN NEW DEAL RESOLUTION.
This resolution is full of some crazy ideas and it would be very expensive to implement. Trump said somewhere in the order of $100 trillion dollars.
And despite Biden saying that he doesn’t support it, it forms the backbone of his campaign as concerns the environment.
One of the most radical pointers is that Cortez had proposed that if you are young and educated the government will guarantee you a salary whether you are willing to work or not!
This was actually in the resolution draft and to quote the NY Times :
…Ms. Ocasio-Cortez’s office initially sent to reporters, but later disavowed, a fact sheet that included some controversial ideas, like guaranteeing economic security including to those “unwilling to work.”
In short @Purple the Democratic Legislators are telling these BLM kids that if you support the party and we win, we shall repay you with a free salary for many years.
That is why when Biden said that he won’t support the Green New Deal, Trump retorted ‘you have just lost the radical left’s vote!’
Most BLM supporters are young educated lazy guys who wouldn’t mind a free salary for life.
Among other resolutions within this draft is that all houses in the U.S will be rebuilt to address climate change, light rail that won’t run on electricity… cows produce methane gas and should be banned… aeroplanes produce poisonous gases and should also be banned etc etc.
