The hardscrabble biography of Democrat Congressional candidate Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez has been called into question after the revelation that she grew up mostly in wealthy Westchester County.

She's the Vanilla Ice of the House.

She Guevara.

He he, that's really good.


When I see her name in stories online, I think to myself "Why are they using only part of her last name"?

Somebody needs to Photoshop her face on the iconic Che graphic.

Don’t underestimate this commie or what the libs in NYC will do, after one term if ole Chuckles decides in his head he can be the savior of the Democratic Party and beat Trump, she’s the next Senator from NY.

DNC Chair Tom Perez: "She represents the future of our party"

Ocasio-Cortez is a dues-paying member of Democratic Socialists of America’s New York City chapter, which recently called to “abolish prisons” and “abolish profit.”

Right wingers have been calling the Democrats socialists and communists for a long time and they always denied it.

Now they are proud of it.

And they STILL won't be able to figure out why. They'll blame Trump, Fox News, hacking of voting machines, etc., everything but their own lousy message.

I dunno, she looks a little or a lot crazed in the pics I'm seeing of her (see meme above). Crazed ain't cool (think Hillary).

Fucking mouthbreather with lots of mouthbreather fans wanting to turn America into something similar to the mouthbreather utopia known as Venezuela.

2017-2018 Tasks and Perspectives of NYC-DSA
The following document was drafted by the outgoing Steering Committee and debated, amended, and approved by our May 2017 City Convention. It represents our collective analysis and strategy for the second half of 2017 and the first half of 2018.

Our Mission
New York City Democratic Socialists of America is dedicated to the project of building a socialist society — a society free of all oppression with a democratically-run, ecologically-sustainable economy. Such a society would secure real equality of opportunity for everyone. It would guarantee basic rights to housing, food, healthcare, education, a job, and an income. And it would eliminate all forms of oppression, including oppression based on race, gender, sexuality, and ability. Our goal is a socialist world. Living as we do in New York City, our organization’s particular focus is on how to advance that cause in the five boroughs.

In order to build a better world, NYC-DSA believes that working-class and oppressed people must take political, social, and economic power to make fundamental changes in their interest A transformation on this scale will require socialist parties and powerful social movements. The goal of NYC-DSA is to move us closer to achieving this transformation. We do this by educating and agitating to build a base for socialism and then organizing that base into social movements and a socialist organization.

Campaigns for reforms that would improve working-class and oppressed people’s lives are key to our ability to organize this base. We fight for reforms because it’s through these struggles that people first join the fight against capitalism and learn the limits for progress it imposes.

Sometimes, under pressure, politicians and capitalists make concessions to these campaigns. These concessions, though usually temporary and compromised, only strengthen our movements. But ultimately it will take a political revolution and massive social transformations to make the lasting changes we are fighting for. And only organizers and movements formed and tested through the struggle for reforms will be able to lead society through this transition.

Because struggles for reforms play a critical role in building a base for socialism, the key question is how we fight for them. There are different ways to do this.

One assumes that our political system is fundamentally good — it works effectively to represent people and everyone has a chance to have their concerns heard. According to this approach, all it takes is for people to speak up and politicians will respond. This is the liberal strategy.

Socialists have learned through decades of fighting for reforms that the capitalist system serves the interests of the ruling class. It is designed to meet their needs and insulate their power from threats from below.Our strategy therefore is different from the liberal one. We work to organize millions of people into democratically-led movements that take militant action against bosses and politicians. It’s only through mass direct action, strikes, and confrontation that we can force those with power to make concessions — and eventually to take that power from them.

I am not completely sure I understand this, but here goes.

It is confusing, but NY has some minor parties that run in the elections.

Cortez won the DEM primary, but Joe Crowley was also on the Working Families Party ticket. Crowley won the Working Families slot.

To get off the general election as the Working Families Party candidate, Crowley would have to move out of New York, die, be convicted of a crime or accept a nomination for another office.

“I don’t plan on moving out of New York, have a clean record, hope God’s will is that I don’t die, and won’t commit what I honestly believe to be election fraud” by accepting a nomination for another office in a place he doesn’t live, Crowley tweeted.

Working Families Party state Director Bill Lipton ripped Crowley for refusing to get off the line. The party backed the incumbent but immediately threw its support behind Ocasio-Cortez after her victory.

“WFP is giving all we have to electing Ocasio-Cortez and other progressive insurgents all across the nation,” Lipton said. “The only remaining way for Crowley to do the right thing is to switch his residency to Virginia, where his family resides and his children already go to school. It would fix the problem he created in an instant."

He also suggested that the Queens County Democratic party that Crowley heads “practically wrote the book on election law so it's hard to imagine they don't know that there are standard procedures to remove a candidate from the ballot that have been approved by the New York State Court of Appeals."
