MILLENNIAL ROCKS DEM PARTY

I haven't read her policy platform, but I'd like to have a caucus with her, if you smell what The Rock is cookin'.

It takes a ton of courage for a young woman of color from the Bronx to dethrone Joe Crowley. Really happy for her

Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, a 28-year-old progressive, won a shocking election night upset Tuesday against Rep. Joe Crowley, one of the most powerful Democrats in the House of Representatives.

Crowley, who has been in Congress since 1999, hadn’t even faced a primary challenger since 2004.

Ocasio-Cortez in her campaign became one of the dominant voices of the left’s anti-establishment movement. She ran on a slate of issues now popular on the left — Medicare for All, abolishing Immigration and Customs Enforcement, and stripping corporate money out of politics. She's backed by the Democratic Socialists of America and by Our Revolution, the group affiliated with Bernie Sanders. She spent the last weekend of the campaign in Texas, protesting President Donald Trump’s border policy.

This should be interesting.

Lol eat your own!!!

I don't see why it takes courage, at least more than anyone else running.

A bit off topic, when will we know when the blue wave is complete?

Are you not familiar with how primaries work?

I think she is a Democratic Socialist not a Socialist.

Not as much courage as being a tranny. So brave.

Dems going harder and harder left ensures gop victory

I donated to her campaign and others awhile back. Nice to see some of these victories, she's not the only progressive to win her primary.

This kind of thinking is exactly why we have Trump and the Dems lost so many seats.

Also, your post is self contradictory since she ran a HARD LEFT campaign against at best a centrist who had establishment backing, including many wealthy donors, and won.

New York going further left? To be expected.

You would’ve preferred a pedophile. We all know that though.

I read your post three times. There’s no point to be found.
