Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez was bounced Tuesday from the Working Families Party ballot line by a Queens judge, raising the stakes in her potentially tricky Democratic primary fight for reelection.
The firebrand lawmaker collected just 13 signatures from members of the small union-backed party, two short of what she needed to get on its primary ballot.
Now, AOC won’t be on the WFP ballot line in the November general election either, said Martin Connor, a lawyer for Michelle Caruso-Cabrera, AOC’s opponent in the Democratic race.
“AOC has hurt working people of the Bronx and Queens with her votes and creates disunity within our party," said Caruso-Cabrera, a former CNBC anchorwoman who goes by her initials MCC. "No wonder why pro union forces don’t want her and neither do our neighborhoods.”
The leader of the Working Families Party shrugged off the ruling by Supreme Court Judge Phillip Hom and vowed the labor-backed group would still actively campaign for AOC.

The leader of the Working Families Party shrugged off the ruling by Supreme Court Judge Phillip Hom and vowed the labor-backed group would still actively campaign for AOC.
Y'know, because it isn't really a political party, isn't a real union, and unions are antidemocratic in the first place.
“AOC has hurt working people of the Bronx and Queens with her votes and creates disunity within our party,”
Thats a blunderstatement!
AOC made long Island City lose 25,000 good jobs when she caused the Amazon deal to collapse.
Barmaid intellectual!

““Frankly, the knee-jerk reaction assuming that I ‘don’t understand’ how tax giveaways to corps work is disappointing,” the progressive darling wrote Tuesday.”

I’m sure she already has a job lined up with MSNBC
firebrand lawmaker, If there was ever a load of sh## thrown in the ring this is it. From waitress bar maid to FIREBRAND LAWMAKER. I still cant stop laughing
They don’t understand she has an entire world to save.
Peons.
Are they opening a bar in their offices next January?

“The leader of the Working Families Party shrugged off the ruling by Supreme Court Judge Phillip Hom and vowed the labor-backed group would still actively campaign for AOC.”
What? They have no alternative candidate who CAN get 15 party-member signatures? Do they even have 15 members?
Sounds like she will have a brilliant two-year run as a congress critter.
So she can’t even get the “Working families” (Socialist Platform) right? She sux at everything and accomplished nothing in her miserable tiny life.
So the party will campaign for her without anybody in the party actually wanting her?
I’m sure MSNBC can install a stripper pole on the “news” set to welcome her.
It doesn’t look like it. As you recall, Joe Crowley won
the WFP line last time out but since he lost the Democrat primary, he chose to not actively campaign.
Hmm...since there are no filed candidates, does the party committee choose a candidate? I’m guessing so, and it sounds like they’re going with AOC.
But she has a dugree in ekinomics, ya’ know!
GREAT
