A week ago this was recognized as a fringe idea even among staunch Democrats, the fringiest fringe around, but then something happened: One Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez shocked the Democrat establishment by defeating the favored 20-year incumbent, House Democratic Caucus Chairman Joe Crowley (D-N.Y.), in last Tuesday’s Democrat primary in New York’s 14th district. She ran, in part, on abolishing ICE, so now this has become the “[n]ew rallying call for 2020 Democrats,” as the AP put it.
Now, I really shouldn’t say this — I mean, I really shouldn’t. I want nothing more than for the Democrats to continue marching toward their cliff, but, alas, honest commentary is my bag. And here’s reality: If you leftists think avowed socialist Cortez’s win had mainly to do with abolishing ICE, you’re putting your electoral chances on ice. Cortez won, largely, for a simple reason.
Bigotry.
She had the right profile: a young, female, Hispanic in a district 70 percent non-white — a figure no doubt even higher among its Democrat electorate — and in which the incumbent was a wizened old white fellow (Crowley is 56 and looks 66). It helped that she’s attractive and articulate, but she shamelessly played the group-identity card, too, sending a message that no one should vote for an old white male. She even retweeted the picture of an attorney who expressed the sentiment that “all white people are racist.”
The Washington Post pointed this phenomenon out, by the way, running a Wednesday article titled “The worst thing to be in many Democratic primaries? A white male candidate.” The paper writes, “Democratic voters have been picking women, racial minorities, and gay men and lesbians in races around the country at historic rates.”

Put them on suicide watch?
Yes, let’s do it my way. Hand them loaded pistols, cyanide pills, properly knotted ropes, sharp knives, base ball bats and whatever else it takes for them to do take care of their personal affairs.
Why would we want to stop their suicide?
What? You mean watch them commit suicide, just to make sure they follow through on it?
Send in Arnold Judah’s Rimmer to give the DNC grief and suicide prevention counciling.
Judas ... darn autocorrect.
It tried to correct this correction post!
The Democratic Party will survive, it will just be completely void of straight, white males. And Christians of any stripe.
The race/gender/ideological war, while simmering for years, has just shifted into high gear.
To ignore it now would be suicidal for the side who yearns to breathe free, namely, us.
“Time to Put the Democratic Party on Suicide Watch?”
I’d love to watch....just hope my heart can stand the arousal.
As white men realize more and more that they “need not apply” for elected office, those with brains (limited supply, I know) will exit — I presume to form 3rd parties (that would be cool).
It will also mean that the skin-color and sex-persuasion candidates, who do emerge, will be lower quality and less electable.
So, yes, as the article implies, their coloring-book ideology contains the seeds of its own self-destruction.

Seriously, I honestly think Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez is good for America.
Actually, I think she needs to run for prez next time around. This sweetie makes Hitlery look good. (barf) We need to get this total destruction leftist crap out in the open so all can see. This would give Trump one of the biggest landslides ever.
Hell no. Give them whatever they need to kill themselves. The sooner this false front for the CPUSA ends, the better.
Only so that we can be sure to watch and enjoy it!
The DemocRats stirred up this race war, and now it may threaten their own old guard. Wonder how many of thier decades-long untouchables they are willing to sacrifice in November? Will they try to push back to Center to retain a few familiar faces?
They have stirred up a lot of emotional, angry, useful idiots with their commie tactics.
The LEFT wants to put the country on track from citizen to subject to serf.
That’s progress, baby!
NO! Let the suicides begin.
Why? Hey, it’s a free country and they aren’t harming anyone else unless they fall on them.

Liberals are hysterical now because they’re certain we’re about to do to them what they were hoping to do to us right about this point.
stake that is...
