In that district, it's the only way to run and win. "Some things are apparent. Where government moves in, community retreats, civil society disintegrates and our ability to control our own destiny atrophies. The result is: families under siege; war in the streets; unapologetic expropriation of property; the precipitous decline of the rule of law; the rapid rise of corruption; the loss of civility and the triumph of deceit. The result is a debased, debauched culture which finds moral depravity entertaining and virtue contemptible." -- Justice Janice Rogers Brown "The United States government is the largest criminal enterprise on earth." -rduckwor | |||

Could always run and win as D then switch parties. Been done before. Place your clothes and weapons where you can find them in the dark. “If in winning a race, you lose the respect of your fellow competitors, then you have won nothing” - Paul Elvstrom "The Great Dane" 1928 - 2016 | |||

That's common in countless jurisdictions (even if it's less common for the claims to be true). People who believe in universal suffrage should not forget for a moment what that means: There are an incredible number of people who are barely smart enough to be allowed to walk the streets without a keeper, much less to make intelligent voting decisions. Voting for candidates merely because of their party affiliation is one of the most common manifestations of that fact. And if we do not know that, we should start paying attention. ► 6.4/93.6 ___________ “We are Americans ….

I have no idea how good she is at constituent services, but I do know that bringing home the bacon and having a strong in-district ground game that creates the appearance that you give a shit about the little people's problems are keys to staying in Congress and feeding off the public trough for decades. For her first re-election cycle, the fame and constant media attention may be enough to carry the day, but if she is not doing a good job at basic retail politics, it will eventually catch up to her. | |||

To me, she is the gift that keeps on giving. A Democrat is going to hold that seat, at least let it be a moron. Mr Bellum, do you believe her to be a true danger. That part, I amm not sure. | |||

Crowley was a white guy in a district that had gone significantly Hispanic. A big chunk of her district is in The Bronx, which is the most Hispanic borough in NYC, and a lot of them are Puerto Rican, so that can vote. The other chunk of her district is in northern Queens. It used to be very Greek, but a lot of young white millenials have moved there (you know, Bernie's people.) They wanted someone younger and less white, and she plays directly to that. It really doesn't matter what the national party wants. NYS in general, and NYC in particular has gone full on left wingnut, and her district is the epicenter of that. She's not going anywhere (unless she decides to run for Mayor in '21.)

AOC would make a GREAT mayor, if you wanted to showcase how the Dems can screw up a city. It would be a wonderful opportunity, if only her handlers would let her. -c1steve | |||

Never miss an opportunity to be Batman! |
Sorry, already done in Baltimore, Chicago, St. Louis, and others. The Only thing AOC could do as a mayor is make a bit worse yet funny at the same time. | |||

I agree. She’s neither brought home the bacon nor focused on her district. She went national even before taking office, spending a large amount of time running all over the country looking for cameras, and she drove off Amazon from NYC. Amazon was a rather large pile of pork. I wonder if an unemployed voter in the Bronx is as principled as AOC towards global communism? Demand not that events should happen as you wish; but wish them to happen as they do happen, and you will go on well. -Epictetus | |||

Well, she knows Schumer won't last forever...Im sure she has his eye on his senate seat. Eventually Satan will call old Chuckie boy down there to help him and Robert Mugagbe run the hot place

She'd be worse than the current idiot, and that would be tough.

Schumer is 69. That's barely middle aged in Senator years. They ususally hang on into their 80s or longer.

^^ The only nice thing about guys like that is that while they often stay on past the point where they're just doddering old senescents, that sometimes means they block a younger, sharper politician who is politically and morally just as bad as they are from rising to the Senate. Since Chuckles is essentially elected from New York City, I'm pretty confident that the best thing he can do with his golden years is sit in his Hart Senate Office Building office and drool mindlessly. From the "Even When She's On Your Side She's Not Going To Be Much Help" Files, AOC managed to step in it by trying to lower expectations for Bernie's health care plan. The full, original text of AOC Lowers Expectations On Medicare For All, Admitting Sanders 'Can't Wave A Magic Want' To Pass It, David Knowles, Yahoo News, 2/14/2020 is at http://www.yahoo.com/news/aoc-...ss-it-212943695.html. The highlight? On Thursday, AOC said that Bernie might not be able to get his health care legislation passed in Congress. "'A President can't wave a magic wand and pass any legislation they want," Ocasio-Cortez, D-N.Y., told HuffPost this week...'The worst case scenario? We compromise deeply and we end up getting a public option. Is that a nightmare? I don't think so,' she said." Somehow I don't think this will turn out well for her at all. First, she's just directly undercut her favorite candidate for President, who's in the middle of trying to win the Primary. Second, she didn't get elected by people who think in terms of compromise - in their world that's what corrupted Nancy Pelosi - so I don't know what that particular move will do for her in her own race for reelection. | |||

Go ahead punk, make my day |
Unfortunately she'll never go back to being a barmaid - if she gets voted out, she'll be an 'activist' funded by the millions of brain dead zombies who follow her on Twatter. | |||

Michael Moore walked into a sports bar late one evening. He sat down next to Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez at the bar and stared up at the TV as the 10:00 news came on. The news crew was covering a story of a man on a ledge of a large building preparing to jump. Alexandria looked at him and said, "Do you think he'll jump?" Michael says, "You know what, I bet he will." Alexandria replied, "Well, I bet he won't." Michael placed two $20s on the bar and said, "You're on!" Just as she placed her money on the bar, the guy did a swan dive off of the building, falling to his death. She was very upset and handed her $40 to him, saying, "Fair's fair... Here's your money." He replied, "I can't take your money. I saw this earlier on the 5 o'clock news and knew he would jump." Alexandria replies, "I did too, but I didn't think he'd do it again."

On the wrong side of the Mobius strip |
Link You knew this loudmouth was going to chime in with something uh, "controversial." It seems that AOC will say anything to keep her name in the news. | |||
