Primary defeat of fourth-ranking House Democrat a portent of the radical left takeover of the Democratic Party
The architecture of the 20th century Democratic Party is slowly dissolving before our eyes, as identity politics and socialism replace the old center-left coalition. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, a 28 year-old Bernie Sanders organizer and endorsee of the Democratic Socialists of America, resoundingly defeated Rep. Joe Crowley, a ten-term incumbent who hadnt faced a primary opponent in 14 years, and who spent at least ten times as much money in the race.
Ocasio-Cortez will almost certainly win election to the House in November, running in a district that gave 78% of its vote to Hillary Clinton in 2016, and is 49.8% Hispanic and about one-fifth white. She will replace Minnesotas Keith Ellison as the radical socialist/identity politics standard-bearer in Congress.

The democrat always wins here. Almost 80% voted for Felonious Milhous Von Pantsuit, 50% are hispanic and 30% black.
Today Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez. Tomorrow Emma Gonzalez.
Looks like white liberals, in their haste to import brown voters to vote out Republicans, are themselves getting voted out.
I especially love the Spanish language campaigning.
Well, she certainly has the lingo...
The center-left coalition of Rats has been an illusion for decades. They were taken over by the socialist/marxists/communists decades ago.
Surprised at how many New Yorkers voted for this Hard Left Wing Communist/Socialist bitch. She just got a job for life unless she does something corrupt in the future.
Just another example of the democrat party going full fledged communist. This country is right of center!!!
You're right...only now it's finally out in the open where all but the willfully uninformed will see.
Since this is a district we have no chance of turning in 2018 or ever,it is bad news for the DEMS in the short term.
Hillary won the popular vote. That must not be discounted.
The cities are the bastions of the Ameritrash enemies
The nomination of the marxist anti American New York latina should be proof of the principle.
First thing they do is corrupt the language.
It's happening in other places as well. RAT candidates in MD with affiliations to 'Emily's List', NARAL, 'Human Rights Campaign' did quite well yesterday. Even defeated Jim Gilchrist, 10 Year State delegate to MD House. His name probably didn't help, as there is a famous Jim Gilchrist associated with the Minuteman project.
At least she’s pretty.
She’d be angry that I said that.

......................good.
She's a far left novice and will be a real headache for the Democratic Party, pulling their attempts at a centrist message to the hard left and drawing scads of media attention because she's camera friendly.
She poses no threat as a national player. Her win is a win for us.
The district is 49% Hispanic and 18% white. Minorities want a member of their tribe to represent them, not some liberal white male. Stephen Solarz suffered the same fate in 1992.
How quaint.
A Mexican Socialist Reality poster.
How American of her.
Gosh, when will the burros be walking through the streets of Queens, bearing tortillas for Los Campesinos?
Yup. It’s the Socialist Reality genre.
She’s so stupid, she copies 1930s Bolshevik propaganda posters.
Those went out of style in college dorm rooms in the 70s.
