lefties did all that hootin and hollerin about how great/crucial the green new deal was. repubs said okay lets put it up for a vote exactly as you want it. and everybody scattered away from it like roaches when it occurred to them they would have to go out and defend it in an election year.

you figure getting blown out in a primary...where your candidate was a fundraising juggernaut and had a 4 year headstart on a national organizing base,,,against a re-tread from 2 previous failed runs who barely campaigned...would cause the left of the left to dramatically reimagine/revamp their approach to politics (assuming they wanna win)...but here we are.
