The worst thing to be in many Democratic primaries? A white male candidate.
Washington Post ^ | June 27, 2018 | Michael Scherer and David Weigel

Posted on 06/28/2018 7:07:21 AM PDT by C19fan

The newest star of the Democratic Party, Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, launched her New York congressional campaign by declaring “women like me aren’t supposed to run for office” — a jarring embrace of her distinction as a 28-year-old Latina less than a year removed from a job tending bar.

Her campaign slogan: “It’s time for one of us.”

That appeal to the tribal identities of class, age, gender and ethnicity turned out to be a good gamble, steering her to the nomination in a year when Democratic voters are increasingly embracing diversity as a way to realize the change they seek in the country.

If this ship is going down at least I will enjoy the pleasure of seeing white male Democrats hosted on their own petard first. There is no political entity where the dominant population falls to around 50% that does not denigrate to tribal politics.

“women like me aren’t supposed to run for office”

This little wild flower obviously has not observed the makeup of Congress, has she?

Bozos hasn’t figured out that when they come to send the white men to the work camps he is on the list.

That is why they call him “Bozos”.

“””The newest star of the Democratic Party, Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, launched her New York congressional campaign by declaring “women like me aren’t supposed to run for office””””

She is correct. I have listened to her as she is interviewed frequently. She sounds like a moron.

She might represent that sh1th013 district but a shame if this is what America is becoming, a socialist bent on destroying the country. Sad thing is the Democratic candidate for governor is much the same. They are likely not the only ones. On the upside, they will help complete the Democratic party’s demise.

In monotone:

And we should not miss noting in every reference that Ocasio-Cortez is a socialist. Sad to see this lost in calling her a progressive. Her democratic socialism is on great display in Venezuela.

When your enemy is destroying themselves, the best thing to do is just stand back and stay out of the way.

The only white male Dems I ever encounter are gay or Jewish.

It should come as no surprise that Democrat Socialist Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, 28, won the Democrat primary in New York’s 14th Congressional District, which encompasses portions of the Bronx and Queens, After all, these are the same people who elected the openly-communist Bill DeNausio as their Mayor. Nevertheless, establishment Democrats are left curiously scratching their heads. But why? In the final analysis, they have no one to blame but themselves.

The election of Ocasio-Cortez, indeed the rise of the entire Bernie-Bot nation of Gen Z’ers and Millennials is a direct reflection of the intentional mis-education and ideological indoctrination of millions of impressionable children over the past 50-years by historical revisionists, loyal educrat teachers and the liberal media. Why should anyone be surprised? Our children have been poisoned to believe that the world’s most historically destructive political systems are, in fact, to be considered the most desirable and humane. Just forget about all that economic ruin and genocide stuff.

Because of its incrementalist design, most Americans slept through this decades-long metastasizing threat, but now, the dystopian “Frankenstein” that the Democrat Socialists hath wrought is roaming the countryside, and killing everything in sight. The only thing that remains to be seen is whether the patriotic townspeople can gather enough personal courage, pitchforks and torches to track down and put an end to the spread of this deadly menace. America’s future depends on it.

But it’s not bad to have volunteers who are anti-Semitic.

Always concerned with white males-I wonder, are “women like her” supposed to be loggers, sewer workers, all of the many dangerous, tedious, hot and dirty jobs which primarily white males still do, which must still be done? She, like other “special” people, always believe that they have the right to start at the top. They pretend to believe that white males all started, and do start, at the top.

She’ll “change the world” up until cash is dangled in her face once she hits DC. Then she’ll be a completely corrupt Democrat for sale to the highest bidder like all the rest of them.

It’s too bad that all the many jobs which primarily white males work in, because no one else can or will do them, don’t get together and strike. Kind of a “day without a white male”. Some people don’t know, or pretend to not know, who still makes this world run.

White women need to understand that White men are their one and only line of defense against those who hate all Whites.
