The Millennial Left Is Tired of Waiting

The key political partnership of the Millennial left was born over noodles. Saikat Chakrabarti met Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez at Potjanee, a Thai restaurant near his apartment in the West Village, in March 2017. She was looking to get into politics; he was helping fund people getting into politics through the Justice Democrats, the progressive political action committee he’d co-founded that year.

A look below the thin veneer of AOC and the chaos she is creating.

WE waited 8 years.

[Pearls Before Swine]

WE waited 8 years.

More than that, much more. Truth been told, we've been waiting since Reagan.

Neither of them is Thai, so what were they doing appropriating Thais’ cuisine?

This is precisely the attitude of the youth in Venezuela in the 90s

The true father of the bastardized children in politics is George Soros.

LOL

I recently saw an on-line recipe for “Golden Milk” which involves healthful spices like turmeric being added to warm milk.

The first posted comment was seriously angry, berating the author for NEVER ONCE acknowledging that this sort of recipe originated in India. The commenter was furious that culture from India was being appropriated without credit.

The original poster meekly added a disclaimer at the top of the recipe stating it came from India.

As government continues to fail it’s citizens, leftists DEMAND....more government.

You hit that one out of the park on the first pitch, Pearls.

Which is another reason why a Biden campaign would be so good. Think of the fun we could have watching those two stuck in a lane behind Biden as the truth comes out about the Obama administration policies. As bad as many of those policies were, they were still a darned sight better than the crap these two have come up with.

You can’t imagine the crazies being crazier than they really are.

I love Joe Biden’s recent quote to the affect that the Russian Collusion in the 2016 presidential election campaign NEVER would have happened while Barack or Joe had been in office. They wouldn’t have allowed it. They would have just stopped it.

Joe seemed to have forgotten exactly who was in office during the 2016 presidential election campaign.

Think Mao's Red Guard and Pol Pots' Khmer Rouge.

In America we have Antifa and so-called academics pushing the victim narrative.

It's a very interesting article. What may not be obvious is that this Chakrabarti dude has been a dismal failure in politics to date. His "Justice Democrats" group recruited 79 candidates to run in Democrat primaries for House seats in 2018. After the primaries and the general election in November, only 4 of them actually won seats in the House.

That's why there's so much attention given to these four nitwits -- by the media, by President Trump, and by others. There are literally only FOUR of them.

And ours in the 60's.

Teach....your parents well....

This time though it appears they mean it.

“Saikat Chakrabarti”

Can’t get more American then that!

[Poison Pill]

WE waited 8 years.

Politics is a numbers game. And as of last year, millennials outnumber boomers.

One of the co-founders is Cenk Ugyur from The Young Turks. Oh, he was angry on election night 2016, and oh, he was disappointed with the 4 of 79 result.

Yes, and as the clock continues to tick they are moving closer to being a political majority.

Be very afraid.
