WASHINGTON — Representative Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez plans on Friday to endorse an all-female slate of progressive candidates through her new political action committee, using her clout in the insurgent left and the considerable campaign funds she has drawn to counter the Democratic establishment in key races around the country. The endorsements of over a dozen congressional candidates — including one who is challenging Senate Democrats’ preferred candidate in Texas — amount to a powerful stamp of approval for a diverse group of newcomers. They also are a clear sign that Ms. Ocasio-Cortez, a celebrity of the liberal left, intends to leverage her influence among activists to try to reshape the Democratic Party.

No doubt she's catching heat for attacking Democrats and not Republicans. She has it in her mind if you're not "progressive" you're not pure. Culling the party from within. Love it!

What we want is the Democratic Party to splinter off a major third party.

This could be the year....

This is the underreported story of the Democrats debacle coming from the left flank.

They are going full communist.

FDR did something similar back in 1938.

His organization attempted to defeat less than liberal Democrats who weren’t on board with the New Deal. He met with only limited success and it caused strained relations with his party in Congress.

There is no way AOC is doing this by herself. She is getting direction from soros. He owns her, no doubt about it.

What I want to know is who plucked this empty vessel out of obscurity and is funding her political rise. Something very similar happened to pluck Obama out of obscurity, but even he was not as empty a vessel as she is.

“She” is doing this only as the front for the same activists that got her elected, including the Indian smart guy who used to be her chief of staff.

As well as she worked out, why wouldn’t they? Bartender one day, thought-leader and chief policymaker for the Democrat party six months later. A remarkable success template!

Pffffft! Probably 100% group-think.

“a diverse group of newcomers
Pffffft! Probably 100% group-think. “

Or 100% Marxists... Still trouble either way.

She has set about building her empire.
She’ll be the new Nancy Pelosi in about fifteen years.

Hasn't there been a couple major candidates looking to go against her? From both the Dem primary and the Repub side? She better be careful or she'll be out on her ass here soon!
