AOC riles Dems by refusing to pay party dues, bankrolling colleagues' opponents
Fox News ^ | 10 January 2020 | Marisa Schultz

EXCLUSIVE: Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez has already topped the fundraising charts in her short time in Congress, but the liberal darling won’t donate a cent of her millions to Democrats' House campaign organization -- a position that has rankled some of her colleagues, Fox News has learned.

Instead, Ocasio-Cortez is building her own fundraising operation for fellow progressive candidates to bypass the official Democratic Party infrastructure. Already, she's actively funding primary challengers to oust certain Democratic colleagues

The hardcore socialist commies in the country are supporting her and she supports them in return, this could turn into a huge fight in the Rat party.

I wish we could give money to conservatives we support without it being dispersed to other candidates.

About the only recourse you have is to donate to your fav candidates directly and hope they make good use of the funds.

I stopped donating to the RNC and PACS a long time ago.

I very much doubt it. Nanzi is A-O-C's OTHER lapdog.

AOC in PETA doghouse after adopting purebred French bulldog -- instead of setting example with rescue pup.

It already is. They forced Pelosi’s hand on impeachment, which has made McConnell king of Congress. The withholding of the articles of impeachment from the Senate is part of the negotiations going on between Pelosi and McConnell. Pelosi wants the Senate to handle the Senate vote against the articles handled in a certain way to benefit her and is negotiating with McConnell on the price.

True. Point was we’re now electing them.

Giving directly to a candidate is preferable to giving to the party apparatus but everyone should understand that the Democrat Party isn’t the only party that requires “dues”. Every pol is expected to pay six figures into their party coffer.

“”As a ‘practicing’ Socialist shouldn’t she throw all of her donations in the pot with everyone else’s so it can be evenly divided?””

Absolutely - very good point! Like the not so funny story that made the rounds with a father telling his daughter who was ALL FOR EQUALITY that she should give some of her earnings to her friends! Or share her grades with friends less “bright?”

She didn’t like that idea and I suspect AOC wouldn’t much care for it either!

You can - don’t sent your $ to the RNC - send it directly to the campaign of your choice.

If the "campaign of your choice" is that of an incumbent, dues or a "tithe" are paid to the GOP re-election committee of the respective House of Congress.

Understood. :^)

Just wanted to sharpen that point - we’re NOT fighting commies AT ALL anymore, it seems.

The nefarious backers behind this idiot have found their stooge in her and are coaching her for bigger and better ways to harm this country. She is someone the FBI should be keeping an eye on, along with her fellow Squalid Squad sistahs.

“...we’re NOT fighting commies AT ALL anymore, it seems.”

No. They quietly (and very effectively) infiltrated our schools, unions, Hollywood, the D’rat party, MSM, churches, SJW groups and now social media. Cultural Marxists, they are.

At this point in time, “socialism” is largely acceptable to our masses. Their end goal is for communism to be acceptable. Frogs in a pot approach.

CPUSA and others are still quite active, indirectly, with intermingling 501s and PACs.
