      New Polling Shows House Democrats Who Won't Back Green New Deal Could Be Ousted by Progressives in 2020

       

      Just how popular is the #GreenNewDeal? So popular that opposing it opens Democrats up to serious primary challenges.”

      by Jessica Corbett, staff writer  – January 3 2019

      In a signal that Democratic voters aren’t satisfied with timid steps to address the human-made global climate crisis, new polling from Data for Progress—initially reported by HuffPost on Thursday—shows that incumbent congressional candidates in 2020 could be ousted by progressive primary challengers if they fail to back a Green New Deal.

      Championed by Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-N.Y.) and a growing collective of Democratic lawmakers and climate campaigners, a Green New Deal would combine efforts to curb global warming and create a more just economy through generating clean energy jobs and other initiatives. Such a deal, however, has been met with opposition from more conservative Democrats.

      LOL….a poll just the very next day

      after the Progressives/Neoliberals passed the PAYGO    claiming that green new deal might occur sometime in future so keep voting for corruptocrats. Oh wait! Nancy promised #Paygo will not hinder taxcuts for the rich. So glad to hear that. Now I feel so much assured….YAY the progressives have truly taken over the party owned by the Clintons :sarcasm:

      Never expect different result by following the previous steps

      HA!

      in 2018 exactly one progressive unseated a dem incumbent.

      Perhaps in Congress

      but across the nation, 100s of true progressive candidates won resounding victories, even in some

      previously heavily  “Red” strongholds.

      All real progressive challengers to do-nothing incumbents

      need to announce earl and get their names out there, and not wait until the last minute, since they will be out-spent and demonized by the DNC and their donor bosses.
