sderk 1,040 Posted January 11, 2019 Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez is already making enemies in the House Democratic Caucus — and some of its members are mounting an operation to bring the anti-establishment, democratic socialist with 2.2 million Twitter followers into the fold. Some lawmakers with ties to Ocasio-Cortez are hoping to coax her into using her star power to unite Democrats and turn her fire on Republicans. http://www.msn.com/en-us/news/politics/exasperated-democrats-try-to-rein-in-ocasio-cortez/ar-BBS6eVv?ocid=ientp Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

ZeroTolerance 582 Posted January 11, 2019 I guess she wants to be the left wing Trump. Can't stop saying stupid things, can't be kept in check, completely naive to how her position works. As if one demagogue wasn't bad enough. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
TimmySmith 2,782 Posted January 11, 2019 She took their rhetoric all the way to the House. Now they have to live with her. And no way does she write her own twitters. She's a failed bartender. We don't know who the 2.2 million really follow, but we know it ain't her. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

As if one demagogue wasn't bad enough. It is entirely rational that the left would have an element that would rise up to counter Trump. Trump himself is the pendulum swinging away from and increase in leftist popularity. Hopefully the next swing does not result in something worse than Trump, as a response to this more extreme leftism. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Patriotsfatboy1 1,432 Posted January 11, 2019 Uggh. At least with Trump, he is not extreme right. She is socialist, so I see her as worse. However, I don't think that she has the cache to be powerful enough to swing the Dems too far left. Of course, I always underestimate the stupidity of the electorate.

sderk 1,040 Posted January 11, 2019 Icon Status? "Ocasio-Cortez’s willingness to take on her party establishment with unconventional guerrilla tactics is what got her here. It’s earned her icon status on the progressive left, it’s where the 29-year-old freshman derives her power — and, by every indication, it’s how she thinks she can pull the Democratic Party in her direction."

Cdub100 3,380 Posted January 11, 2019 pull the Democratic Party in her direction." This is scary. On one side you have the globalist Democrats pushing towards a one world order. The other side is pushing for a socialist revolution which leads to economy collapse and a dictatorship. The Democrats are the biggest danger to our nation.
