But at least it wasn't as bad as her Green New Deal proposal which received zero votes because it appeared to be written by a teenage girl trying to impress a boy. The only thing missing from the GND was pink hearts floating over a field of smiling cows drawn in crayon along the margins
The defeat of AOC's anti-U.S. military plan continues to allow the military to post recruitment ads on Twitch, a popular streaming platform with online gamers. It also means that the House has not completely gone insane.
Earlier Thursday, Obviously-Commie tweeted a tweet to convince lawmakers to support her anti-U.S. military proposal.

“War is not a game,” she pontificated. “Twitch is a popular platform for children FAR under the age of military recruitment rules. We should not conflate military service with ‘shoot-em-up’ style games and contests.
“The Marines pulled out of Twitch for a reason,” she added, although she did not seem to know the reason, and was merely 'shooting from the hip'. "It’s time to follow their lead.”
The Army, Navy, Air Force and National Guard all participate in sponsorships and partnerships in the world of so-called “e-sports,” The ESports Observer reported.
However, the Marine Corps [pronounced 'Corpse' by former President Obama] and Coast Guard do not participate.

In May, Military.com cited a 2019 U.S.M.C. [not to be confused with Utah State Medical College or Uncle Sam's Motorcycle Club] recruiting document that was submitted to the Defense Advisory Committee on Women in the Services.
“The national marketing brand strategy does not include future plans to establish eSports teams or create branded games,” the Marine Corps wrote. “This is due in part to the belief that the brand and issues associated with combat are too serious to be ‘gamified’ [not a real word] in a responsible manner.”

Although the U.S.M.C. does not advertise on Twitch, Marine recruiters attend esports tournaments, therefore having at least a modicum of contact with gaming that attracts 72 percent of men and 49 percent of women ages 18 to 29, Military.com reported.
After Thursday’s vote, Ocasio-Cortez returned to Twitter where she tried to put a positive spin on the miserable outcome for her amendment.
“The good news: a majority of the Dem party supported this amendment,” she wrote, confusing the word 'Dem' with 'dumb.' “That’s really a solid start for this being the first time this issue has been brought before Congress.”
Thirteen House members did not vote on the amendment, because they forgot to bring their crayons to the House.
Consider following Brain Flushings, it's free and worth every penny. And remember, every time you click on an ad, an angel gets its wings and a liberal sheds a tear.
