My Family was riddled with bullets becauae of Ernesto. She is very much the new generation of the Dems. The Socialists are the majority of the party now. The old guard is being replaced. The GOP needs to do the same. Either Constitutionalists take over or the GOP dies. View Quote My family too, my grandparents left with my mother in the middle of the night to escape the communists. I love my grandparents and they have instilled in me a healthy understanding of what folks like Cortez are peddling. |

What exactly is this clear & positive message she has for me? View Quote Pay very close attention to this next statement. The truth is not relevant, it never has been. Politics is, has been and always will be perception. When you are convincing people socialism is bad, you aren't just giving them truth, that is incidental. You are changing their perception, and that is what matters. |

She's from a small NYC district and Bernie was from a small tiny underpopulated state. How many across the Country supported Bernie? More than you know. The Hillary Rigging is what kept him out. View Quote |

She may not be a joke. But her platform is a joke for all but about 7 states. I hope the Dems embrace her message and attempt to sell it to the other 43 states. View Quote https://ocasio2018.com/issues The Democrat Party embraced socialism a half century ago. The single difference between O'Cortez and mainstream democrats is she is out of the closet. |

Dems will be fucked except in progressive enclaves. |

I agree... there is a 40 million strong free shit army that is going to want to vote for her.
Brush her off and ignore the commie scum at your own peril. |

Wonder who bankrolloher campaign? View Quote Additionally, and this is huge: We are long past the point where corporate funding has become a political liability. A corporate candidate may no longer be able to overcome another by spending money. Look at Clinton, she outspent trump 4:1 and still lost. |

I'm a GOP county chairman and officerholder.
The more the media raves over Jenny from the Bronx, the happier I am. But the OP is also right - those who see socialism as preferable to capitalism do represent a long-term threat. |

The media will cover for her leftist communism by selling it as moderate. The sheep will fall for it and most won't realize what has happened until their ride on the train.
Communism/Socialism would never be a thing here if not for the full support of the media and Hollywood. |

Rush is talking about her right now.
Some very poignant observations. The DNC chair said that she is the future face of the Democratic party. |

Funny.... I agree with restoring Glass Steagle. There is a lot we need to clean up on our side as well. The Republican Party as a whole has become a party of Corporate Interests that put Profit before Country and Liberty. The large percentage of the Party Elite is for cheap labor, off shoring of jobs, etc for more profits. They cater to multinational corporations that don't care about communities. The Banking Clans within the party is sickening. They love their insider trading and crony capitalism. The truth is the GOP is just as fucked up. It is now a party made up of thieves and crooks. Many of whom were former Democrats. The Party is not about American Ideals like Small Government, Civil Rights, and Equality under Liberty. It is about oayoffs, profit, and being the ruling elite. The GOP hates Constitutionalists and did everything in its power to co-opt and destroy the TEA Party Movement for a reason. It was protecting its iron rice bowl just like the old school Democrats were. Folks like Hillary and Bill Clinton, Nancy Pelosi, Chuck Schumer, etc... The Democrats were in a civil war during 2015 - 2016. I said it then and I'll say it now. They Crooks were fighting the Commies. Hence the rigging for Hillary and the sidelining of Bernie. But they are losing now since the Commies have greater numbers in votes to replace them via the ballot box. The GOP is holding strong. Yes, we have Trump but we don't have the Party. We don't have districts, seats, and offices. The majoroty of the GOP is actually ignorant. Much like Gun Owners and what happens within the NRA behind closed doors. This isn't about the NRA, but is is a good comparison. In the end. Both Parties are changing and I actually think the Republicans are going to be the new Whigs. Constitutionalists are going to get tired of the bullshit the GOP plays and they will at some point split. We're a small minority under the GOP Tent. But if we leave we take our pole and they collapse because the Left will promise Free Shit and the GOP Corporatists can't counter that. But what can counter it is freedom and we have that. But either we need to fight the GOP Swamp like the Commies are fighting the Democrat Swamp. |

She said Crowely no longer represents the voters in that district because the demographics changed. The reality is he never really did because of his race. She feels that only someone of color can represent it because it is filled with people from third world shit holes who love free stuff, and she is more than happy to fight to get them that free stuff. A match made in heaven.

Overlooked in this thread is a most salient point: Crowley mailed it in, and lost. He received a fraction of the votes in this election compared to his last, mostly because he assumed he would win pulling away.
He forgot the most important rule in politics: "Run unopposed or run scared." |

That is an issue a lot of people have with their elected officials period. They all feel that their elected officials live in walled off gated communities and have nothing in common with fhe constituency. She played that issue and wrapped it with identity politics. Which for New York is normal. The Irish and Italians did the same thing once upon a time. |

She speaks cogently without attacking the president. She has a very clear, positive message for the working class, which is the first sign of life for the Dems since 2016. She is a hard worker and believes in what she says. That. Wins. Elections. Politics is perception. Her worldview is garbage but it must be clearly exposed as such to her key demographics.

She is a true Klepto-Socialist, she refuses to live under socialism, while seeing it enforced on others.

Quoted:
She comes from an upper middle class home, she is living proof that through capitalism you can rise above the life you were born into. Given that, and her message that only through socialism can you get a fair shake, how is she any different than the limosine liberal she defeated? This is a case of bias, both racism and ageism. She was chosen because she was young and Peurto Rican. She could have been running on a platform of demanding all whites being executed for crimes against humanity and won. As long as conditions are tolerable, NYC votes for style over substance. View Quote |
