As hinted in prior posts regarding seeking that which both sides seek to avoid, discuss.

"But the proposal ruffled feathers in Washington. Incoming chairmen of committees that traditionally oversee energy and environmental policy complained that a Green New Deal select committee would strip them of legislative power. And Beltway veterans privately expressed frustration that a cadre of insurgent freshmen, some of whom toppled long-time allies in primaries, were using their grassroots popularity to call shots."

What do they mean by "using their grassroots popularity to call shots"

Is that like....a representative representing the desires of their constituents over upper eschalon tribalism's special interests? Ignoring their constituent's desires doesn't seem very "left" to me. *boggle*

I do question the integrity of the journalist writing this article, though, because WHO are these "Beltway Veterans" that are "privately expressing" this treasonous sentiment against their constituency?
