OH, and fun fact of the day: WW1, WW2, Korea, and Vietnam were all started with a Democrat in office...
That doesn't excuse the incompetence of Bush or the still continuing incompetence.

Of course, who wouldn't want a lady working as a bartender in a taco shack as their next representative... Clueless and unaware....until the GOP advertises that fact to the Bronx... Strangely she is not showing up to work anymore.... I hope she isn't on food stamps.... Hmmmm..... Your candidate is flawed person, a terrible track record, etc etc.... I seem to remember other flawed candidates losing in heavily supported areas.... She is done if the GOP even tried to unseat her...

Long live identity politics ..

Ocasio-Cortez Won By Fusing Identity Politics With Populism



“Her campaign video begins with her claiming that “women like me aren’t supposed to run for office” (a very common self-victimization mantra among hardcore supporters of identity politics) “

She wants to be President , scary thought .

—-
Insurgent Democrat Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez wants to take her budding political career all the way to The White House, her mother told The Post on Wednesday.

“Her aspiration is to be the president,” Blanca Ocasio-Cortez, 55, said at the candidate’s childhood home in the Bronx.

“She has been thinking about politics since she was a teenager. She would read historical and political books old and new. She would engage in political discussions passionately.”

This gave me chills to see this young woman who beat this long time NY rep. And it was not by money.

I thought the same thing! Pretty amazing what she accomplished. I hope she wins the seat in November--it looks very likely that she will.

I think this was a case of Crowley mistakenly thinking a) he "had it won" and was complacent b) the districts he represents have outgrown his representation both ethnically and culturally. A hard lesson for him, for sure. But he had a great run, so time to move on.

Cool video. Sounds like she’s offering a lot of free stuff .
Who doesn’t love free stuff ?

I don't know anything about her, but hearing a few of her positions like calling ICE terrorists and wanting to abolish the agency, is not going to help the (D's) overall.
