Ocasio-Cortez visit gives California's Democratic Socialists hope

By the time Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez took the stage in San Francisco on Tuesday night, an adoring crowd of 500 at her sold-out fundraiser...

Cortez won the primary because Crowley couldn’t be bothered campaigning in his own district. Now Cortez can’t be bothered with campaigning in her own district.

That nincompoop moron should not give anyone hope. They should fear her ignorance and incompetence.

It would be nice if her Republican challenger was campaigning in his actual district and showed up these idiots.

Did she chew thru Steny Hoyer’s muzzle?

Guarantee Steny and his cronies are digging for dirt right now.

Ocasio and her followers are going to have to go 3rd party eventually. DNC is going to fund Crowley.
