Another Democrat gets eaten by a socialist.This monster may devour more and more of them.They have went so far to the left they are reaping their just rewards. https://www.breitbart.com/big-...ked-ayanna-pressley/ Longtime incumbent Democratic Rep. Michael Capuano (D-MA) lost his primary on Tuesday to anti-establishment insurgent Ayanna Pressley in the latest of a series of powerful incumbents to lose to grassroots-fueled outsiders. Capuano conceded the election early after returns started flowing in, a sign of how badly Pressley defeated him. This win for the hard-left of the Democratic Party against its own establishment comes in the wake of devout socialist Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez’s stunning upset win over Rep. Joseph Crowley (D-NY) in New York earlier this summer, a shocker that rocket-fueled the leftist wing of the Democratic Party in a year where establishment incumbents are having a hard time winning re-election. A glowing profile of Pressley in the New York Times published with a Cambridge dateline just a few days before the primary on Tuesday reveals just how unusual she is: It’s not a sight you see every day, certainly not around Boston — a black woman mounting a plausible challenge to a 10-term white congressman from her own party, a politician with vast connections who votes the progressive line and opposes everything Trump. But here was Ayanna Pressley, a Boston City Council member and rising Democratic star, exhorting volunteers in a Cambridge restaurant with an impassioned performance style she learned as a child at her grandfather’s storefront Baptist church in Chicago. The piece goes on to quote her about how she plans to lay out a leftist agenda, and not just provide “resisting and affronting” to President Donald Trump. “This is not just about resisting and affronting Trump,” Pressley said, per the Times. “Because the systemic inequalities and disparities that I’m talking about existed long before that man occupied the White House!” Pressley is backed by Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, the leftist socialist who defeated Crowley in New York on a message of pushing to “Abolish ICE.” Pressley herself also backs abolishing the federal agency that handles immigration enforcement, Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE)–and other pillars of a socialist agenda like “Medicare for all” and widespread gun control: A piece in Boston.com profiling Pressley’s race after Ocasio-Cortez’s victory this summer noted the similarities between their two campaigns. “Pressley, who became the first woman of color ever elected to the Boston City Council in 2009, has launched her own insurgent primary challenge in Massachusetts, taking on longtime Rep. Michael Capuano in the state’s 7th Congressional District,” Nik DeCosta-Klipa wrote. “The nature of the 44-year-old city councilor’s [Pressley’s] campaign — a woman of color taking on a white, male longtime congressman in a Democratic primary — drew immediate comparisons [to Ocasio-Cortez’s campaign] Wednesday,” he added. “The similarities and ties don’t end there, though there are some key differences.” _________________________ "Sometimes I wonder whether the world is being run by smart people who are putting us on or by imbeciles who really mean it."

I saw this when she decided to run, we now have her and a leftist black female District Attorney, for Boston/Suffolk county, who beat the moderate democrat veteran prosecutor, who is pro allowing inmates to use Marijuana in the jail. Massachusetts a little piece of Venezuela in Mew England. | |||

Glorious SPAM! |
I saw a few clips from that pathetic excuse for a congressional hearing yesterday and one thing struck me....all those old, white, male senators on the lefts' days are numbered. They will all be gone within the next few election cycles and they will be gone due to the culture of hate that they themselves helped create. | |||

Wait, what? |
I sincerely hope these leftist asshats aren’t surprised that the monster the helped to create, nurture, and set loose upon this country is eating them first. The revolution eats its own.

Wait, what? |
They are not just stupid; they are rabidly anti-American and opposed to many of the policies and laws of this country. They want nothing more than to dissolve the superiority and sovereignty of the nation and create a border-less utopia. I ha ZERO sympathy for the dumbass Dems. They empowered these turds, and now said turds are eating them one by one. “Remember to get vaccinated or a vaccinated person might get sick from a virus they got vaccinated against because you’re not vaccinated.” - author unknown | |||

I think one of the reasons Trump got elected is that he actually said (and does) the things that his party wanted to hear. He's not perfect but he does voice the party's ideas. It's the same for the left. They want their candidates to truly represent them and their ideas. I'm not sure how all this is going to play out, though. V. | |||

Notice that all these progressive socialist dimocraps are winning in areas that have been dimocraptic for decades. Most of these areas are also lower income, the results of years and years of dimocraptic policies. The people (and folks) in these areas are already receiving free stuff and of course the idea of MORE free stuff is going to work quite well as a campaign promise. The idea that they are going to pay for it by taxing the rich and corporations.....well it is down right stupid. What happens every time dims do new taxes upon new taxes, upon old taxes? The rich and the corporations leave and take their money elsewhere. Look at Chicago, almost everyone, the rich, middle class, and companies have moved to nearby states where tax conditions are better. Who is going to pay for their free stuff then? | |||

I am not seeing this as a good thing. None of these areas are going to elect Republicans so these crazy socialists are going to get the seats. ———————————————— The world's not perfect, but it's not that bad.

Probably better to have young inexperienced crazy leftists, than polished experienced hypocritical politicians. It is almost guaranteed that this new crew will scare the hell out of the average voter outside of their communist enclaves. Calgary Shooting Centre | |||

Is Mad Maxine, John Lewis or Fauxahontas an example of this? The left LOVES these loonies as they are smarter than the smartest of democrat voter. ____________________________ Eeewwww, don't touch it! Here, poke at it with this stick. | |||

I think the new crew is going to fail at getting free shit (free health care, free college degree, free housing, free $60,000 car with insurance, etc) and blame those who understand economics. In turn, the people who expect their free shit in states where those who understand economics are in office, will vote the smart ones out in favor of the ones who promise free shit - like the new crew. Life moves pretty fast. If you don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.

MA CD7 is a gerrymandered mess designed to be a safe Democrat seat. A Republican couldn't win there even if running against V. Lenin. There is no Republican challenger in November. I guess the MA Republican committee wanted to put its resources toward a seat with an outside chance of winning. Pressley is the Congresscritter elect for all intents and purposes and just has to wait until January to take her seat. Harshest Dream, Reality | |||

And that makes a lick of difference how??? Experience or no experience these people are getting the seats. They are getting power the far left is gaining seats. We should be very concerned. ———————————————— The world's not perfect, but it's not that bad. If we got each other, and that's all we have. I will be your brother, and I'll hold your hand.

And then, the new Parliament will vote to begin the appropriation of farmland from the old white people. ____________________ | |||
