What in the world happened to the Democratic Party and how did Jill Stein, Alexandria Ocasio Cortez and the Justice Democrats push the Party so far left to the point where they set the party's narrative?
Stay tuned. I have the answer. And it will soon revealed. @ScotsFyre pic.twitter.com/JZkbO5srus

I"m sorry. A very, very important addendum.

But wait, there's more!
Apparently there's already been a Green New Deal revolution overseas.
South Korea had their own Green New Deal in 2009. How's that worked out??

Oh, hello Senegal, Tanzania, and Mozambique. You wanted to talk about a Green New Deal too? pic.twitter.com/5LVelWo8My

Oh, come on. The 'stans of Central Asia also wanted a Green New Deal? pic.twitter.com/X6cIJu7f9r

Well, the results from all the above proposed Green New Deals must have been staggeringly positive- since nobody ever heard of them.
So by all means, try it here in the US. Derp!

This is kind of fun. The scholar who "crafted" the Green New Deal blocked me. She & I must have a fundamentally different understanding of what the term "crafted" means. See the above history.
Although "craft" can mean either make from hand or deceive. https://t.co/2eITLMiVnb pic.twitter.com/njR8NsZylA

Hmm, we don’t recall seeing any of this information mentioned in the FAQ for the Green New Deal.
