AOC refuses to rule out launching a primary run against Chuck Schumer for his New York Senate seat saying 'I'm trying to decide what's the most effective thing I can do'

Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez still won't say if she plans to launch a bid against Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer when he runs for reelection as New York senator in 2022 – claiming she is 'indecisive' and still trying to figure out her role within the Democratic Party and Washington politics.

'I'm a no bulls**t kind of person,' Ocasio-Cortez told Punchbowl News in a Q&A published Monday morning.

'I'm not playing coy or anything like that,' she said in reference to dodging questions on potentially primarying Schumer, a three-term senator who served as a U.S. representative from New York for 18 years before that.

'I'm still very much in a place where I'm trying to decide what is the most effective thing I can do to help our Congress, our [political] process, and our country actually address the issues of climate change, health care, wage inequality, etc.,' AOC continued.

She said she is less concerned with focusing on moves within the party, whether that be to another chamber or to a leadership position.

'For me, the positional stuff, these are just tactical decisions,' she explained. 'Those choices have a lot more to do with 'the board', not just one person. Not just me as an individual.'

The most effective thing she can do is become a barmaid again.

It all depends on what Soros tells Chucky and her to do.

Hey!

Alexandria!

I’m sure there’s an organ grinder somewhere who could use you.

‘I’m trying to decide what’s the most effective thing I can do’>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>

Go back to bar tending and ‘liberating’ your co-workers tips.

That way you can satisfy your socialist primal need to spend other people’s confiscated money.

Trotskyites vs Stalinists. Would be kind of entertaining if it didn’t mean the end of the United States of America.

She has a better chance of becoming Speaker of the House.

And I’m not kidding.

She has a solid base in her district, so she has no worries of getting voted out.

She is already THE leader of the left wing Democrats.

Nancy is 80. She has a max of 6 more years in congress.

That gives AOC plenty of time to create a power base in the house and become speaker.

So, now we know why Nan sold out and gave AOC every damn thing she wanted in the Rules for the 2021 Congress. She’s trying to induce AOC not to primary Shmucker.

She may not have a choice. It’s very possible that NY will lose one, if not two, House seats from the 2020 census. Wouldn’t surprise me if her district is the first to go.

This is a win-win for Occasional Cortex. Chuckie's going to have to pay her a lot of money not to run against him and get Nazi Pelosi to appoint her to a some bribery committees.

If this fraudulent election is allowed to stand the first targets are going to be "expensive" politicians. When your machine can fix an election and get away with it, why not toss out all those who are a pain in the arse and replace them with amateurs who stand there without complaining?

Both Democrat and Republican candidates won't mean anything anymore once the fix is in. The current crop of politicians are going to have their egos crushed since the public will know them to be nothing more than failed actors or actresses.

The spotlight might burn bright but it burns fast and the criminals behind the electronic curtain are going to regularly clear the stage of anyone who has any demands at all.

No Democrat is going to lose their seat since the Democrat controlled legislature will gerrymander out two Republican seats.
