What are your thoughts on this election result?
This reminds me of Jeremy Corbyn in the Labour Party. The ruling Class Owned Media (RCOM) not long after began relentlessly demonising him. The BBC still does.
If she's left wing, I expect a similar thing will happen to Ocasio-Cortex. The ruling class won't tolerate anyone who threatens their wealth.
Ocasio-Cortez:
"It's time we acknowledge that not all Democrats are the same – that a Democrat who takes corporate money, profits off foreclosure, doesn't live here, doesn't send his kids to our schools, doesn't drink our water or breathe our air cannot possibly represent us,"
Love her.
I hope you're right. Time will tell.
The Internet blocked the link for me.
The article was in todays NY Times if that helps.
Actually, it was in yesterdays NY Times (27th). Just woke up and the brain is still a bit stodgy!!!
I can't believe your brain is ever stodgy.
@Ellatynemouth Ha... well thank you. Coming from you that means a lot.
A young Democratic Socialist female beating out a longtime encumbent male Democrat?
Love it. One small step in the correct direction, as far as I'm concerned.
Couldn't agree more.
Love it. i support the transition to the younger generations. support them. provide some guidance, if they want it. very excited. hope the midterms are more of the same.
I was so pleased to see her win this. It could be the backlash against the DNC"S failure to acknowledge the power that Bernie Sanders had 2016 elections.
