AOC: Democrats must rally behind nominee even if 'subversive policies' sink a campaign (superdelegates)
Washington Times ^ | 2/03/20 | Douglas Ernst

Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez says it is imperative for Democrats to back the eventual 2020 nominee - even if “subversive policies” by party leaders torpedo a campaign.

The New York Democrat - a staunch supporter of Sen. Bernard Sanders‘ campaign - told Time magazine that underhanded tactics should not deter Democrats in the general election of their candidate were targeted during primary elections.

**SNIP**

Ms. Ocasio-Cortez went on to warn key decision makers not to attempt to politically kneecap Mr. Sanders‘ campaign.

“Ocasio-Cortez also discouraged Democrats from using party rules or other mechanisms to block Sanders if he advances,” the magazine reported. “‘I don’t think it’s a good idea for people to try to use superdelegate or other kind of subversive policies to deny anybody the nomination because it’s incredibly divisive to do so, and very demoralizing, which is a direct threat in November,’ she said, adding, ‘The moment you start playing games trying to deny whoever is the nominee, we really start to get into dangerous territory in terms of defeating Trump.’”

Trump thinks she is going to challenge Schumer in the primary. More carnage.

The boss has spoken, apparently.

So,AOC tells her lemmings that even if crooked tactics are used to crush your candidate then vote for the crooked candidate that wins the nomination. In other words, votefor the Devil instead of Trump. These people,and I use that term lightly,are without any honor or a soul for that matter.

“key decision makers” (?)

Super Delegates?

Why would the DEMOCRATIC Party have “Super” Delegates?

Isn’t that hilarious? I’ve asked a few Dem’s why that’s OK. The best answer I got is “less emotional people make a better decisions.” The hypocrisy is right there in their faces, and they can’t even see it.
That entire party is a joke and they can’t understand the punchline.

AOC to Dem voters: You will eat your cr@p sandwich and LIKE IT.

Meanwhile, beatings will continue until morale improves!

But it’s nice to think of Schumer watching his back.
