Too bad, so sad. Maybe she can get coffee for the committee.

Absolutely. As Andrew Klavan pointed out recently, the real goal of the people who run the Democrat Party is not socialism, but Chinese-style authoritarian state capitalism. Markets, but no freedom.

Another stupid, intentionally mis-leading article.
The “Centrists” did not reject her. There are no centrists in the Party. The media is distorting the news to give that impression.

It takes seniority and ,more importantly, money to get a ‘plum’ assignment.
AOC didn’t have either.
THAT IS WHY SHE DIDN’T GET THE SEAT, AND ALL THE MEDIA KNOW THAT.

Maybe next term she’ll have a PAC of rich libs to give dough to her peers for their vote.

I figured the DemonRatz would have a “Horse Faced, Commie Ex-Bartender” Committee.

She already cut in line ahead of many rank and file who resent the hell out of her. So there will be payback when they can do so.

Might have been a different outcome if they’d had to vote in public.

PAC or not, she and her ilk have enough supporters to make a dent on Dem party during a election. It is more like Libertarian Party which is sucking in Republican votes.

If Dem turnout is a few percent less than usual, they are at real risk. Of course, now we know Dems can manufacture votes. So the point could be moot.:)

You’d think supporters mean power but money in hand buys the assignments.
And it makes sense: money today vs maybe supporters tomorrow.

RE: AOC.
If the voting age was still 21 the Dems couldn’t manufacture enough votes to get such idiots elected.

I despise her and Pelosi. Gotta say though, THIS is sweet justice. AOC was believing her own press and is clearly very, VERY full of herself.

Wait until NY has to redistrict. She will find herself out of a seat.

“Wait until NY has to redistrict. She will find herself out of a seat.”

That will be a fun election.

I’ve been trying to tell democrats that they shouldn’t be happy that the deep-state used election fraud to get Trump out. Wait until it is their turn. By then it will be too late.
