Democrats refuse to support Green New Deal

Democrats in the Senate went on record as being unwilling to vote for the same policies that they're currently campaigning for President on.

Why?

Well because they want to have their cake and eat it too. They want to convince their base that they will in fact turn America into a socialist cow killing hell hole if they are elected but they know that they will never be elected if the American people find out just how radically antiAmerican dream they are.

Hence they want to make it easy for the #FakeNews media to lie about what Democrats will really do if they're elected.  Being on record in a vote on the Senate floor as supporting taxing working Americans to ensure that people who could work but who don't want to can live comfortable lives would give Republicans proof that the #FakeNews media is lying and that would be bad for Democrats.
