"Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, the 28-year-old Democratic congressional primary winner who simultaneously rouses feelings of inspiration and deep inadequacy within my young, icy heart, will not be the sole Democrat on the November ballot in her district. Instead, 20-year incumbent Joseph Crowley, whom she beat in an exciting, improbable primary race, will stay on the ballot—creating a situation that could split the Democratic vote"
Convoluted, but that's NY politics for ya. And I sincerely hope it does split the vote. What's even better than the article is the Comments column...young progs HATE Nancy Pelosi.
I don't know what to say about someone who thinks Pelosi isn't liberal enough.....

Well it should be interesting to say the least. I did hear her on TV last night. Thank goodness she is just running for a local seat; she is so unready for politics. OK, so we know Trump wasn't exactly ready either, but she has absolutely no clue about anything.
Pelosi gave health care away to the corporations. How is that liberal? Pelosi voted for the wars. How is that liberal?
Obama, a Peace prize winner blew the Islamic State of Libya right off the map, how's that for Liberal It's last know location was just East of Nantucket!

She's actually running for the US House of Representatives not a local position. I think she is the best thing to happen to Team R this year. Even as what amounts to a Marxist on this site (ie slightly left of center)- I can see her being a long term R asset as she flounders her way though. And in terms of long term impact its hard to overcome first impressions/early missteps. Dan Quayle would be exhibit A on that count.
I'll add the Dem she defeated in the primary did nothing nefarious. NY is famous for having multiple parties qualified to be on the ballot and both Rs and Ds are free to run on multiple lines. He received the working family party endorsement prior to Democratic primary. The only way he can be dropped is if he moved out of district, ran for another office, was convicted or died. He said none of those apply for him so he's simply quit campaigning. But leaving the ballot is not something in his control.
