“but that’s like being the tallest midget at the circus”

Yup!

She’s the bearer of “Diversity” - meaning, different shades of brown eyes/brown hair/brown skin!

Real diverse there, Alex!

Not exactly a Debbie Harry clone...

[pgkdan]

Just another example of the democrat party going full fledged communist. This country is right of center!!!

That fact won't hurt her in her district but it will hurt other democrats across the country. Just point out that the party has nominated full fledged communists to run for Congress will turn a lot of rank and file democrats off.

[Angels27]

This should cause alarm. The girl who beat him ran to the lefy of him. A very radical, peo amnesty, open borders, hard core socialist. She is sure to win in thos 85% minority district.

All politics is local. New York City is squeezing out the middle class and working class with rapid abandon. Crowley doesn't live in the district and sends his kids to schools in Washington D.C. His constituents can't afford to live there anymore. You could say this about almost every liberal Democrat presently in congress.
Ocasio-Cotez won't change anything in her district with her calls for more socialism and open borders. She does a good job identifying the problem (much like Bernie Sanders) she is just not competent to solve the problem. Medicaid for all, rent control open borders and free college education will only drive up costs and choke off business expansion. She would just be another Bernie Sanders, no meaningful legislation and fantasy dream speeches. Crowley lost touch with his district and didn't understand their angst. In walks a young socialist who is listening to the districts and knows their issues.

Looks like white liberals, in their haste to import brown voters to vote out Republicans, are themselves getting voted out.

******************

The Dems have a knack for engaging in political machinations and schemes that often backfire on them. Just saying.

[Starboard]

The center-left coalition of Rats has been an illusion for decades.

**************

Its clearly now a left-far left party.

[DoodleBob]

Those went out of style in college dorm rooms in the 70s.

Actually, former Obama press secretary Jay Carey had such posters in his home.

Ocasio-Cotez won’t change anything in her district with her calls for more socialism and open borders.

***************

True but the media will keep a spotlight on her every move. They will make her into a national political figure.

[Bonemaker]

It’s a beautiful thing...left wing filth being ousted by even farther left wing filth.

[Vlad The Inhaler]

Strong illegal alien vote.

Sign of things to come.

Liberals are taking a suicide pill by pushing for more and more illegals, for DACCA and amnesty and for other special interest groups.

In the long run they are giving the country away for a short term advantage over republicans and conservatives.

They believe the immigrant and other special interest communities, especially the blacks and illegals, will vote for them.

And they will - for a while.

But once a group becomes strong enough, once they reach a tipping point in a city or region, they will abandon their legacy democrat politicians and seize power for themselves.

They will vote for and elect their fellows - their own kind.

Hispanics for Hispanics, muslims for muslims, honmosexuals for homosexuals, communists for communists, blacks for blacks.

That is what has happened with blacks over the last several generations.
And what is now happening in California, New York and other ethnic/special interest strongholds.

[GailA]

She want’s to take Pelosi’s job.

Liberals are taking a suicide pill by pushing for more and more illegals, for DACCA and amnesty and for other special interest groups.

Pretty soon, by their own doing, there will no longer be any White straight men elected in The Democrat Socialist Party.

[outpostinmass2]

New York and especially New York City have the most regressive tax policies and some of the most expansive socialism in the country. And it also has the highest economic disparity in the country. More socialism will only exasperate the problems. She will have little impact on her district since she will be only influential on Federal law. She will just be another Bernie Sanders. Her constituents will eventually be gentrified out unless New York State changes it ways.

[1Old Pro]

White straight Democrat men have a target on their back. It won’t be long until they can no longer get elected unless they are avowed extreme socialists.

Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

The Spanish speaking people colonizing our country want their own representatives.
The Democrats will be surprised when they are supplanted by the La Raza party.
They have been counting on these people for a permanent majority.

[Incorrigible]

Here is her platform.

.

[Lurkinanloomin]

unless she does something corrupt in the future.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Are you kidding?
Look around at the current Democrat party.

As great as they think their powers of Projection are, the power of self-race loathing, never projects itself well since it's a reflection.

[conservatism_IS_compassion]

First thing they do is corrupt the language.

“When we talk about the word socialism, I think what it really means is just democratic participation in our economic dignity, and our economic, social, and racial dignity.”

What socialism really means is naiveté towards government.

Whether that is the cause or the effect of socialism’s cynicism towards society (which word they conflate with government) is immaterial to the fact that socialist are cynical towards society and naive towards government.
