Considering the fact that a major plank in the DNC’s 2020 platform is taking action on “climate change” and pushing the Green New Deal, the election results in Australia are of particular interest:

Australia’s conservative government won a surprise victory in national elections over opponents who campaigned on climate change https://t.co/yn2GnJcRtO — WSJ Europe (@WSJeurope) May 18, 2019

The leader of Australia's opposition Labor party has conceded defeat after a surprise win from the country's ruling conservative coalition. Climate change had been major factor in the campaign.https://t.co/gTcBsVx6Ya — DW News (@dwnews) May 18, 2019

Womp womp!

"Labor may have lost 'unlosable election'" is never a headline you want to have written about your party. — Esoteric Jeff (@EsotericCD) May 18, 2019

That sounds so familiar for some reason.

"But we ran our campaign primarily on climate change legislation and wealth redistribution, how did we lose?" Australia's Labor Party mused to themselves, befuddled at the surprise outcome of the election. — Esoteric Jeff (@EsotericCD) May 18, 2019

Well isn’t that interesting!

Don’t tell Democrats — John Ekdahl (@JohnEkdahl) May 18, 2019

LOL. Maybe the Dems won’t even bother to take any lessons from all this.

Climate change is an issue for people on twitter and TV studios most people in the country don't really care. Morrison was talking about trade, jobs & immigration, savings for retirement and housing prices https://t.co/RPoFXzAEUV — Anesu Machoko (@akm29727083000) May 18, 2019

Who is next?

Perhaps the extreme left is out of touch with what people actually want from government. — Mark Walls (@wcmarkwalls) May 18, 2019

The political Left might react by calling people stupid for not believing them, which is sure to bring more people aboard their climate change bandwagon. *Eye roll*

Maybe normal people in real life — as opposed to activists on social media — don’t want to return to the pre-industrial age or to see their wealth seized by force and redistributed to people who didn’t earn it. Maybe. — Ken Gardner (@KenGardner11) May 18, 2019

It just could be!
