Yeah millennials are okay with socialism until the day comes when they're kicked out of their parents basements and get jobs and have to pay taxes. Then socialism sucks.

It is amazing to see so much ado about nothing. No one showed up in a primary in a Democrat district - so a less than 2% vote in the communists favor has the less socialistic Democrats in a tizzy. If the Republican can’t pull an upset by a suppressed midterm vote, it is unlikely she could serve more than one term when a more credible opponent beats her next primary.

Millenials are OK with stupidity. And, of course, they know nothing about history and socialism’s total failure.

Yep, this age group is the vanguard of their 'free stuff' and give me that generation. From mom n dads basement, free food, laundry and wifi to socialist promised free everything. The concept of running out of money is impossible to those that use mom n dads debit card.

amazing what 15,000 votes can do for your career, with the help of the FakeNewsMSM.

does anyone ever see the shocking conditions in Venezuela on CNN?

or the State killings in Nicaragua of late?

etc.

It’s amazing what the media will do to spin things. They take a low turnout victory in a solid blue district in New York City against an out of touch Democratic incumbent and make it a major event. This doesn’t reflect anything concrete.

Any demographics on the voters in her district? My guess is 85%+ foreign born or offspring of immigrants. Socialism is immigrating, just as the Dems planned.

CNN — we already knew this. Do you have to gloat?

Oh yeah!

It really does not matter, the functional part of this is to have a divisive issue within Dem ranks. I love the dynamic of “how far left can we go?” It is my belief that Bernie *might* have won the ‘16 election, insane as that may be. But if we can get the Dems to go even farther left, then some number of them will leave the “anti-Trump” camp if it means electing a rabid socialist. In other words, I believe the clamor for socialism will ultimately be a defective strategy and is nothing to be feared; it is to be encouraged.

Socialist Hispanic Millenials approve of a Hispanic socialist. Non-socialist were too confident to vote.

I am glad the Pelosi flunky lost.

But these “analyses” overlook the incredibly low turnout.

About 28,000 voted in a district of near 800,000.

Yeah right. The Hispanics voted for one of their tribe, and nobody else bothered to show up.

15,000 voters in the district Cortez was running in voted her in. 11,000 in the same district did not. How does that strawman validate the CNN claim that “Millenials Are ‘OK With Socialism”

It doesn’t. And straw-men are never backed up by facts or logic. It’s opinion, that is usually wrong. Most liberal arguments are based on the strawman, and are ludicrous at best.

I’ll die before I pass on to my grandkids the life I witnessed in the Soviet Union. I’m sure there are plenty of Millenial patriots that feel the same.
