Literally only the four of them. This wasn't even just some "sign on to whatever" thing. They specifically used their "progressive" cred to attack China and promote the use of economic sanctions.

Edit: just read the screen shots. More seriously: they realize US carbon emissions per capita are double China's right? China's the largest carbon emitter cuz 1 out of every 6 or 7 people live in China.
This is also from 2021, so not sure what came of it or is in the works from it
plus they make all the treats we consume
