AOC’s war on fellow Democrats likely to eliminate her House seat

Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez wasn’t just supporting women in announcing a slate of seven House candidates who’ll get cash from her Courage to Change PAC: The key fact is that two of them are challenging incumbents.

Indeed, she and her allies are now targeting several longtime local lawmakers, on the theory that they’re every bit as much of a problem as Republicans.

Already in hot water for refusing to pay dues to her caucus’ fundraising arm, the Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee, she’s now devoting her resources instead to defeating Democrats.

Don’t be surprised when the established Democrats who’ll control redistricting after the 2020 Census do their best to eliminate her seat.

Basically, NY should be losing seats from the census, and apparently Dems are plotting to eliminate AOC's seat as a result (except that won't stop her from, say, running against whoever is in her district).

 

It's funny because the Dems need people like AOC in order to appeal to a far more leftward shifting liberal base. Nonetheless, one of very few areas I agree with AOC is in her fight against party establishments.

 

It goes to show that establishments have a very tried and tested methodology to grassroots movements.. infiltrate/marginalize them, absorb them into the party (establishment). The entitled often have no other recourse besides authoritarian actions. Eventually it's going to fall flat. 

 

Then of course you have the grassroots movement being effectively insane. Why? The very establishment people getting mad because they can't control them helped facilitate their slide to that extreme. 

 

Always fun to watch manipulators' decisions cause rakes to fall around themselves, and as a result, everywhere they step, a rake is hitting them in the face.

She is the gift to the Republican party that leeps on giving

That's quite a leep.

Well at least she got her Goddaughter into a Charter School.

If the Dems had pursued a legislative mandate for the last 2 years and muzzled the squad, Trump might be in trouble in November

It seems so easy, why they find it so hard is the interesting question.

I think there are actually a few smart dems who might actually realize becoming the new communist party is not going to work in their favor over the long run, and are doing everything they can to prevent that.

Half the field of democratic presidential candidates came out of retirement to try to do that, and in the process are driving everyone but Bernie down below 15%, thus insuring that Bernie gets all the delegates.

Can these moderate Dems stop the snowball rolling down the hill?

Does remind me so much of the Labour situation in the UK, more likely to be shouted down by the righteous,.

Unless I'm mistaken, I believe versions of this article have been published repeatedly since shortly after she was sworn in. Do you blame the outfits that publish them? Fantastic for the clicks.

 

Oh yes, here's an early one: https://theintercept.com/2019/02/09/ocasio-cortez-district-redistricting-2020/

A whole slew from the end of December and early last month (too boring to post them all)

And of course many from the past few days
