New York Rep.-elect Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez backs calls from fellow progressives to mount primary campaigns against moderate Democrats whose politics they believe are to the right of their constituents’.
“Long story short, I need you to run for office,” Ocasio-Cortez said on a video conference call hosted by the leftist Justice Democrats, as the group launched a campaign dubbed #OurTime, Politico reported.
Justice Democrats backed Ocasio-Cortez’s primary campaign against incumbent Rep. Joe Crowley, the powerful Queens Democratic Party boss whose loss sent shock waves through the party’s centrist wing.
While it is unusual for a freshman lawmaker-in-waiting to openly challenge her party’s incumbents, Ocasio-Cortez’s call to action was reminiscent of Tea Party challenges to centrist Republicans, when GOP stalwarts like ex-Majority Leader Eric Cantor of Virginia faced primary challenges from the right.

She will make news each and everyday with her outrageous statements about how radical the Democratic Party has become.

On her video feed last night, she said she wants to flip all three houses of Congress.
Olive Oyl was prettier.

Once these revolutionaries do gain the levers of power, they have no more idea how to use them than a bullfrog.
When the “poor people of Paris” occupied Versailles Palace after the French Revolution, they could only loot or ruin what could not be stripped out. The furnishings were sold in some 17,000 lots, to finance the operations of the Revolution.
It took YEARS to restore the Palace.
I was thinking looks more like a younger RBG
