Great news!There are W's being picked up tonight by progressives in NY and MD.
If it keeps up we might actually see American citizens being fairly represented by their government.
It could happen...

Better her than Jeff Greene(back), billionaire, for Florida governor.Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez {Progressive} just beat an established Dem {Joe Crowley}
Rep. Joe Crowley, one of the top Democrats in the House of Representatives, lost his New York primary in a shocking upset on Tuesday night to community organizer Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez.
How exactly is she a trailblazer and an inspiration?I've heard of her. She's a trailblazer and an inspiration.
Right. Because lawyers who take millions from corporations who give no fucks about people in their district are going to be soooooo much better.How exactly is she a trailblazer and an inspiration?
She'd to work tables AFTER graduating to support her family.
How is she in any way qualified to be a member of the House of Reps?
You realize you just gave the Republicans a really good chance at what was an unchallengably solid blue seat...right?
All they have to say is she's unqualified, which is 100% true.
Sorry to interrupt your little meltdown there, but do you want to actually reply to the post so you don't just look completely retarded for once?Right. Because lawyers who take millions from corporations who give no fucks about people in their district are going to be soooooo much better.
You should call up that mail order degree mill you got your degree from. They ripped you off.
I will grant you that you're the expert at looking retarded. I'm thinking it comes naturally.Sorry to interrupt your little meltdown there, but do you want to actually reply to the post so you don't just look completely retarded for once?
Do you know what would've really helped your candidate? If your superPAC hadn't embezzled all the donations.
So what makes her inspirational and a trailblazer?I will grant you that you're the expert at looking retarded. I'm thinking it comes naturally.
1. Because she spoke to the interests and needs of her constituents from a position of having lived the same life they do. She also didn't take donor cash which adds to her credibility.So what makes her inspirational and a trailblazer?
What are her qualifications to become a member of the House of Reps?
Could you not at least put forward candidates who have even local govt experience?
someone said today..'geeze isn't that (her platform) what Sanders stood for?'Great news!

That kid from the school shooting stuff?I support David Hogg for Florida Governor 2018!
He has a bright future in politics.That kid from the school shooting stuff?
yeah..a survivor.That kid from the school shooting stuff?
Yeah but he's way too young to be a governorHe has a bright future in politics.
he's 18..old enough for a SA and Bumpstock..old enough to be governor.Yeah but he's way too young to be a governor
Yup. Because someone who's never even had to do his own taxes is a good choice for someone to run a state.he's 18..old enough for a SA and Bumpstock..old enough to be governor.
FIFYYup. Because someone who's never even had to do his own taxes is a good choice for someone to run the country.
True but I'm sure he can find an office to run for at his age.Yeah but he's way too young to be a governor
Per Article IV, Section 5 of the state constitution, the governor must be at least 30years old and have been a resident and registered voter of Florida for at least seven years.he's 18..old enough for a SA and Bumpstock..old enough to be governor.
Ocasio-Cortez had more people vote for her than Crowley. You can't be saying that Crowley just gave the election to her, can you? She won by a goodly margin too. These are all the qualifications needed, other than residency and some other legal requirements.How exactly is she a trailblazer and an inspiration?

I'm just asking the critical questions necessary to discern a candidate's ability to get further than the primary.Ocasio-Cortez had more people vote for her than Crowley. You can't be saying that Crowley just gave the election to her, can you? She won by a goodly margin too. These are all the qualifications needed, other than residency and some other legal requirements.
Winning that seat was no small feat. I'll give her the benefit of the doubt for now and say she shows a lot of promise. She could screw it all up with one bad interview but right now, she's gotten a lot of good press and hasn't said anything to ruin her appeal with liberal Democrats.
THAT seat is pretty safe from Republicans. Republicans, of course, hate her and everything she stands for. They will go after her with all the fake news fit to post when the time comes.
