WASHINGTON — Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez toppled a well-established Democratic leader in a stunning primary upset last year — now she's looking to spur others to do the same.
In a promotional video for Justice Democrats, the grassroots group that backed Ocasio-Cortez's 2018 upstart run against Joe Crowley, a 10-term incumbent, as well as Rep. Ayanna Pressley's successful challenge to Mike Capuano in Massachusetts, Ocasio-Cortez shares lessons from her campaign to help boost a new recruitment drive for progressive insurgents called #OurTime.
Already, the group is publicly searching for a primary challenger to centrist Rep. Henry Cuellar, D-Texas. Cuellar has defended his record, arguing his district features "more moderate, conservative Democrats."

I’m okay with that.
Get rid of the corruption with someone unelectable outside of primaries.
Great idea!
Pelosi is going to have her gilloolied.
Fun watching the old white libs getting ousted. Useful idiots.
I am all for the Dems being open about the fact they are Communists, rather than they game they play trying to pretend they aren’t... makes elections far simpler.

They can openly jump on the socialist wagon that they are secretly riding and reveal themselves to their constituents or change parties if they want to be conservatives.
Social media is both dangerous and toxic....primarily made up of people with no skin in the game or knowledge of issues...or pay any federal tax at all.
Making herself “oh so much more popular” with the Democrats who hold the power in Congress - let’s see how that works out for her. As far as getting rid of some of the dinosaur Dems, no problem with that .... might I suggest the addition of folks like Diane Feinstein, Nancy Pelosi, Steny Hoyer, Maxine Waters, etc etc to the AOC political hit list.
My guess is that within a year she will be found on a park bench with a “self inflicted” gunshot wound to the back of the head.
“...She has only 4% as many followers as President Trump (Twitter), but in the past month, she had more than 30% of his interactions, or 7.5 times as many interactions per follower as the president....”
Don’t discount the stupidity which prevails in a younger generation. The Russians suffered it in 1905-1917-1922.
Even if she doesn’t prevail, it spreads a contagion which may mutate into more horrific nightmares.
Nagitive Nancy is right. Puerto Rican is the new “sparkling” face of the U.S. Congress. Whitey has got to go.
The dems have swallowed the poison pill.
It’s gettin’ real at the tippy-top.
Never get in the way of the enemy when they are destroying themselves.
Yet when conservatives oust RINOs in primaries, we’re called the evil far-right, how the GOP is captive to the Right run by Limbaugh, there’s no more bipartisanship and reaching across the aisle, blah blah blah.
