If Democrats want to stop this they need to target the Justice Democrats. They're the ones who find and promote these fringe candidates.

Justice Democrats

they wanted the radical socialist flavor but foolishly thought they could control her. AOC is too stupid to be afraid of them.

Bingo! There is an organized political machine out there intent on replacing all the old Dems with AOC-type Marxist drones.

The media is going all-out to try to differentiate the Dem establishment politicians from their nuttiest cohorts.
They all get along just fine.

This is turning into high farce. At present it may be Pelosi and co being on the front line of fighting an even more radical form of Soci a list. AOC and here lot want to tear the whole lot down while the older Dems just want to control the current system

If it keeps even one more communist asshat like AOC from winning a seat then it’s a good thing. Right thinking democrats, if they exist, need to turn against the radicals in their party or be dragged down to the gutter with them.

We need to keep in mind that AOC is a product of the American school system and somewhere along the way she learned this garbage.

Joe Crowley had a war chest - he just didn’t use it.

If they’re spending money in their own primaries, they have less for the general election.
