Democratic presidential contender Sen. Bernie Sanders campaign manager Faiz Shakir is reportedly peeved over Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortezs neglect to sufficiently mention Sanders name as she was campaigning on his behalf while he was tied up at Trumps impeachment trial in the Senate.
Ocasio-Cortez brushed aside Shakirs complaints, saying revolution is not about egotistic self-aggrandizement. Its about being right on the issues. Socialism is for the masses. Individuals dont matter. The collective does.
In terms of ideology, she is, of course, correct, Shakir said. However, we need to have voters select the name of the person they want to be their president. It is not enough to recapitulate our grievances against capitalism. Repeating the candidates name on the campaign trail is essential to informing voters who will carry out the socialist program. In this regard AOC fell short.

But...but, AOC was going to give us all the Electoral College with NO TUITION!
BACKSTORY: Justice Democrats and Brand New Congress are a group of Bernie Sanders ex-staffers who decided 2018 midterms
should be all about Bernies policies, finding 400 Bernies to dump into races. They held auditions. AOC was hired to run in NY.
NOTE
<><> Brand New Congress mastermind is Saikat Chakrabarti
<><> Justice Democrats is Cenk Uygur, a Turkish-born Muslim.
Making a pile of money musta been a huge incentive. Read on.
FAST FORWARD TO TODAY.......an FEC complaint was filed alleging AOCs COS, Saikat Chakrabarti, created multiple private companiesLLCsto siphon off campaign contributions from her various PACs for personal use......
BTW, AOC has a lot more in common with Bernie than socialism. Besides socialism (gag)....
AOCs COS used to be Bernies....wait for it.....Director of Organizing Technology.
AND THISSaikat Chakrabarti, is a proven tech expert.
(A) He co-founded a web design tool,
(B) He built up the product team at the payment processor Stripe.........
(C) He then came to the Sanders campaign after (cough) growing disillusioned with the tech world.
Saikat Chakrabarti was Bernies Director of Organizing Technology. Even old man Bernie knew enough to hire a tech expert.
So, I guess (smirk) Chakrabartis tech skills musta come in mighty handy when donations to Bernie were wire-transferred to the DNC and ended up in 2016 candidate Hillarys account.
Debbie W/S headed the DNC at the time and was ousted b/c of her bias for Hillary.
Course, none of us heard about any of this, but.....
<><> Chakrabarti-the-tech-whiz did find out about the DNC theft, didnt he?
<><> Chakrabarti did speak to D/W/S about it, or to Debbies tech expert, Imran Awan, didnt he?
<><> Chakrabarti did tell Bernie he was fleeced, didnt he?
<><> Chakrabarti WAS working for Bernie, wasnt he?
Now the stunning details about that FEC complaint:
The FEC complaint asserts that AOCs COS, Saikat Chakrabarti, early on established two PACs that raised big bucks for AOCs campaign:
<><> the Brand New Congress PAC, and,
<><> the Justice Democrats PAC.
After mucho money was raised from the progressive suckers, Chakrabarti systematically transferred $885,000+ in PAC contributions to his private companies with similar names:
<><> the Brand New Campaign LLC, and,
<><> the Brand New Congress LLC.
Saikat Chakrabartis private companies, unlike PACs, are exempt from reporting all of their significant expenditures.
NOTE WELL: its a much-used criminal act to enrich oneself, to open bank accounts using similarly named entities to siphon off money, to hide it from partners, associates, investors etc.
SIPHONINGS A CINCH Its easy to siphon off money for oneself by putting checks into the new accounts with similar names, depositing checks that were made out to the original entity. Even your bank advises that if a check-writer mis-spelled your name, to just endorse the check with the correct name.
AND PRESTO: a check made out to Brand New Congress PAC, is deposited in the Brand New Congress LLC account.
===============================
ANALYSIS - Chakrabartis companies appear to have been set up for the sole purpose of obscuring how AOCs donations were used. The arrangement skirted reporting requirements and may have violated the $5,000 limit on contributions, according to the FEC complaint filed by the National Legal and Policy Center, a government watchdog group.
Campaign finance attorneys described the arrangement as really weird and an indication theres something amiss. They said there was no way of telling where the political donations went meaning (A) the donations could have been pocketed, or, (B) used by the LLCs to pay for off-the-books campaign operations.-SNIP-SOURCED FROM FR.
JUST WONDERING .....does Chakrabarti have a reputation among Democraps for facilitating the conversion of campaign donations?
Maybe we should ask millionaire landowner Socialist Bernie (smirk)?
Where’s the ‘satire’?
“When Pete Buttigieg was a high school senior, he wrote a prizewinning essay praising Bernie Sanders. Here, we republish the essay in full.”
It’s a Valentine...
