A 28-year-old Democratic Socialist just ousted a powerful, 10-term congressman in New York

 

Interesting....?   The left moves further to the left...   Might work in CA and NY but does not play with the rest of us in "flyover" country.

And Tio Vinny, did you make that sign for her...?   That is so "you"....!   Chris

Actually the electorate is becoming more polarized.

Left moving to the left; Right moving to the right.

 

A good article illustrates this:

This gal should move to Cuba!  She'd fit right in!

 

Oh, I forgot the communist agenda is to take over America by way of socialism. :warning:

I am deeply troubled by the extreme left "progressive" tendencies and beliefs of so many democratic candidates.  I think the extremes will be the downfall of both existing mainstream Parties.

FB, I think the Democratic party for sure will split, lefties to the far left, the socialists, communists, the violent Antifa punks, pink hatters, eco nuts, perpetual welfare crowd will be one party, the "Progressive Democrats".   And I think the classic, more conservative, blue collar, and any Blue Dogs left will go to the middle.  The Republicans can't get their act together and never really could, always too fractionated to be of any consequence. Hopefully the Libertarians can get their act together, scoop up the Blue Dog dems and the more liberal Republicans and become an organized force for personal liberty, fiscal conservatism, less taxation, less government, and less policing of the rest of the world (keeping a kick arse military in place of course).  

 

And oh, looks like she wants to be POTUS too....!   She is so naive.....   Hopefully age will bring her wisdom.

Insurgent Democrat Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez wants to take her budding political career all the way to The White House, her mother told The Post on Wednesday.

“Her aspiration is to be the president,” Blanca Ocasio-Cortez, 55, said at the candidate’s childhood home in the Bronx.

“She has been thinking about politics since she was a teenager. She would read historical and political books old and new. She would engage in political discussions passionately.”

Blanca, a secretary for a school in Florida, spent a few days campaigning with her daughter. She said Ocasio-Cortez’s upset victory over Congressman Joe Crowley was like “fighting Goliath.”

“It’s just incredible,” the proud mom said. “I believe she would do it but so soon — it was shocking.”

Blanca discussed how the family struggled to make ends meet and explained her 28-year-old daughter’s appeal as a candidate.

“She is fighting for our community,” Blanca said. “She is fighting for the working class. She is fighting for immigrants.

“We can relate to that. We are working class. We did struggle. We know what struggle means.”

Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez is a favorite to beat Republican candidate Anthony Pappas in November.

Funny. Folsomhound labeling Trump supporters as *extreme*.  What? Hey pal, our side doesn't riot, threaten people, kick people out of restaurants, assault people, shoot people playing softball, and burn stuff down like thugs.  You people lost.  You are losers, in more ways than one. Get over it.. oh, and get a message that Americans can rally around instead of your tired *hate and race* crap. You're 76... shouldn't you know better?  To compare us to the hardcore radical dangerous Left just makes you look silly.  Here's Trump's Twitter feed, below.  Do some reading..  :lol:

Hey Aces, I would not group Folsombound in with the left wing "group" necessarily.......  I think he's more Libertarian in his views I am thinking, maybe to the left a bit but there is some common sense there often....    He's been around the block once or twice from what I can tell from his responses, probably age 70 something and maybe even been shot at in anger while being "employed" by the US Government, involuntarily I am guessing somewhere in South East Asia......  I think he's kinda like you and me, just older, done some more stuff, and just sick about big government and the USA going off in the wrong directions.   And those "wrong directions" are up for debate for sure....  He hates Trump and that is fine, I used to hate Trump, would not watch him, wrote him off, grouped him in with Geraldo Rivera and Jerry Springer..........   But now that he is POTUS I just love everything he does and the direction he goes in....!   America first....!   MAGA...!

 

Same with Who_do.... Probably the same......   70 something?  Maybe been shot at in anger back in the day courtesy of the US Government....   Not that I agree with him often, hardly often ever , but I do listen, well used to......  Not anymore since I blocked him because he's blocked me but every once and awhile he had a good point......    Other than "Man made global warming" that he has taken the large hook, way deep down in the throat, the barbs are in and set deep, and he's not getting free any time soon.....   

 

And Tio Vinny........   I just think he just retired early from the post office at age 50 and is living large on our dime.......................  Easy to be a "Socialist" when you get a check every month for $8000 from the government and your health care is paid for.......    Must be nice...!

LOL! Fan-freaking tastic!  Yeah, you guys take the party that direction. "free" healthcare, "free" college" Abolishing ICE.

A community organizer and member of the Democratic Socialists of America, she is also a Palestinian sympathizer. She is against privately run prisons but is for a government sponsored Jobs for Everyone program (particularly dumb as thanks to Trump, we have more jobs than people to fill them).  She also "thinks" they have the grounds to impeach Trump...

 

Yessir, you progressives make her the face of your party and I will laugh my arse off for the next 15 years

 

Silly Dems, socialist policies might play in NY and CA, but the rest of the SANE country thinks y'all are nuts. Then again, I guess in your hubris, you didn't learn a thing about why Trump won...

Democratic Socialists of America Membership Surges

  After Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez’s Stunning Victory The day after the self-described democratic socialist unseated a long-serving Democratic congressman on Tuesday, DSA experienced a membership surge 35 times larger than normal.

 

https://www.thedaily...tunning-victory

 

 

The left-wing group’s growth has been attributed in part to broader resistance to the new administration and wider acceptability of the “democratic socialist” label championed by Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-VT).

So, you think we're headed for a Civil War?

 

And why dual citizenship? Just can't totally leave this great country? Or planning to just come back to vote?
