Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (1989- ), a Bronx educator, defeated ten-term Congressman Joe Crowley, even though he outspent her ten to one with the help of Wall Street. It is making news even in Mexico and Brazil.
On June 26th 2018 she won the Democratic Party primary for New York’s 14th Congressional District. If she wins the general election in November, which seems likely (it is a Democratic safe seat), she will be the youngest woman ever elected to Congress. She is just 28. She could become senator, governor, president.
New York’s 14th District takes in parts of the Bronx and Queens in New York City. It is a place where Uber drivers, waitresses, and cleaners live – and where the prison on Rikers Island stands. It is 18% White and 50% Latino (mainly Puerto Rican), but has always had a White representative.
Her mother is from Puerto Rico, her father from the Bronx. She comes from a family of groundskeepers and has a degree in economics and international relations from Boston University.
From her campaign ad:
“This race is about people vs. money. We’ve got people, they’ve got money. 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.
“What the Bronx and Queens needs is Medicare-for-all, tuition-free public college, a federal jobs guarantee, and criminal justice reform. We can do it now. It doesn’t take a hundred years to do this.
“It takes political courage.
“A New York for the many is possible.
“It’s time for one of us.”
She worked for Bernie Sanders when he ran for president in 2016. It showed her that grass-roots campaigns were still possible. Like Sanders, most of her money comes from small donors and she is unashamedly left-wing. Unlike Sanders she is race conscious.
She belongs to the Democratic Socialists of America, the largest socialist party in the US. Black Lives Matter of Greater New York was an early supporter of hers.
Protest: She took part in the Standing Rock protests against the Dakota Access Pipeline and, earlier this week, the protests at the Mexican border against President Trump’s zero tolerance immigration policy.
Criminal injustice: She understands how public prosecutors are in bed with the police, the trouble with money bail, and how the prison industrial complex profits off of too many people being in prison.
On the Democratic Party:
“What I see is that the Democratic Party takes working class communities for granted, they take people of color for granted and they just assume that we’re going to turn out no matter how bland or half-stepping these proposals are.”
She sees the Latino vote as a sleeping giant.
She says that in a country as rich as the US, everyone should have good education and health care. The reason that sounds like a pipe dream is because of the Reagan, Bush, and Trump tax cuts. #BillionaireLivesMatter.

Normally I would distrust a New York politician because of the Wall Street game, but not when that politician:
1. Calls herself a democratic socialist
2. Has worked for Bernie Sanders
3. Has worked in education
4. Comes from a poor immigrant family
5. Looks Black or at least non-White
6. Is a woman
7. Is a millennial
8. Has lived in New England
Ms. Ocasio-Cortez is clearly not the stereotypical New York power broker who has sold her soul to the Evil Empire. She sounds like she could be the best politician that state has had since Bobby Kennedy. Her mother says she does want to be president!

I used to live in Astoria, Queens, but on the west side, which is grouped with the East Side of Manhattan for the congressional district. Since that is the last place I voted in USA, that is the district my absentee ballot goes to. Too bad she is not the one representing my district. I was wondering if the establishment democratic Congressmen/women in NYC have anything to worry about if the fever spreads to the adjoining districts (including mine).
Should the senators (Gillibrand and Schumer) worry about THEIR seats in the next election? Gillibrand was just re-elected to her 2nd 6-year term but maybe she will drop out if she runs for President.
Is she an unstoppable force? Or will they succeed in subduing her?

LikeLiked by 1 person
@Abagond,
You do not think that the co-opting could work in the opposite direction, whereby the democratic establishment has trouble holding onto their power and they can’t get Wall Street to buy her arm of the party out or smear her? After all, se overturned the 20-yr. establishment incumbent and her twitter followers are growing much faster than anyone on Wall Street.
One thing she can do, even to fellow democrats, would be to state publicly which candidates are beholden to Wall Street, which are beholden to oil and gas, which are beholden to Big Pharma, which are beholden to foreign governments, etc. , ie, make sure that all the 2020 candidates which survive are “clean”.
I am just noticing how AOC (but certainly not just AOC, but the millions behind her too) have almost managed to kick Amazon out of Queens. Actually, I lived in the western edge of Queens and the proposed Amazon HQ2 is in the very congressional district I vote in. so I know these neighborhoods pretty well – I even used to see a dentist in the projects in Long Island City. This is in direct opposition to the mayor and the governor, who have basically opened up their pocketbooks to Amazon. If AOC and her followers can knock over the billionaire mayor and governor, with Wall Street right there, how big would that Wall street cheque book have to be to counter that?
This is in stark contrast to how Amazon has been received in Arlington, VA. But Virginia is facing its own challenge with its state government scandals. I haven’t seen AOC weigh in on that.
I also haven’t seen her weigh into the US – China Cold war (one of my biggest concerns).
As you know, my roots in the US hail to DC and NY and I have been a bit enthralled by this development, especially as I am looking into moving back to the USA. I have become so entirely disgusted with the development following the Umbrella Movement (and the rise of Emperor Xi) that I think there is now more to do right back there in the USA and AOC has made it more optimistic.
Maybe she could become mayor of NYC? The first one with zero beholdenment to Wall Street? who has the most power to clean up Wall Street? She has 40-50 years in front of her, there are so many things she could do in her lifetime. I worry more about her personal security. Does she have bodyguards?

AOC is not being “tactical” unless she’s tactically reneging on her own promises!
She campaigned on forcing a floor vote on Medicare4All and replacing Pelosi.
But when the possibility arose to actually press both issues while achieving at leas one, the whole “squad” started 5hitting bricks.
I guess they didn’t expect that they would be so quickly in a position to use their power to push their claimed policy objectives. But providentially, the Dems LOST seats in the house overall while the “progressive” faction gained seats. They actually were in a position to block Pelosi’s speakership or support her in exchange for a meaningful concession such as a floor vote on M4A. They did neither! But they continue to TWEET though, because that’s what they were put in congress to do.
This is normal for the Dem side of the mono-party coin. It blames Rs for its feigned helplessness, rolling over to the very purposeful and norm-discarding Rs when the Rs have power. Then when the Dems have power they tout bipartisanship and fail to aggressively use their own power to achieve the policies they lied about genuinely supporting. The “squad” has revealed that it is no different.
AOC deciding to “tactically” defer to Pelosi is like Obama insisting on “working” with intransigently obstructionist Republicans. They establish the ground rules to ensure failure because they never had any intention of moving their radical “change-based” campaign rhetoric beyond mere words. Their purpose was to divert and diffuse anti-establishment energy by redirecting it back into establishment power structures to die.

You’re describing the process by which things got to this stage, and it is usually dressed in the flowery language of “unity”. The Republicans PUSH and the Democrats APPEASE and leave the needle shifted as far as the R’s left it. Consequently, the trajectory is determined by the Republicans whether they are in power or not. The Republican party is the turning handle and the Dem party is the back-check that prevents reversion.
Obama’s failure to achieve the “yes we can” changes he promised in his 8 years in power is party of the reason there was so little enthusiasm for Hillary in 2016, contributing to Trump’s victory. The Democratic party is owned by its donors and is not genuinely FOR many of the policies its base supports and which it claims to champion to win votes (like certain healthcare reforms). Once in power, Dems vow to “work” with Republicans on issues that the people want but the party doesn’t want in order to use Republican obstruction as an excuse for their deliberate failures.
When the people get fed up and vote them out, they yap at the Republicans as the minority but go right back into their shells the moment they have power again. You don’t find it curious that the Dems were screaming “RESISTANCE!” when R’s were in control but now that the people voted them into power Biden has decided they need to share that power with the Rs who were “Nazis” a few months ago? Biden is Republican-lite and the Dem party is a FAKE alternative. It is merely the “good cop” to the Republican “bad cop” in a corporate-owned virtual mono-party.
[It’s convenient that “mono” is also “monkey” in Spanish].
TBH, Trump is self-serving but he operates outside of that paradigm which is part of the reason he is so popular among a sector of the population. If you can look past everything that is wrong with him, he really does stick it to the status quo. The establishment Republican party that Biden wants to resurrect [as exemplified by Mitt Romney or the late John McCain] is NOT Trump’s base and has been rejected the Trump base which was screaming about hanging VP Mike Pence on January 6th.

So now in 2020 the Dems get a popular vote win AND the needed electoral college win but they’re going to give some of their power to the Rs for “unity’s” sake! LOL! If this is not seen as the lack of an alternative and a virtual capitulation to right-wing policies, I don’t know what to say.

Frequently have a real problem respecting the rights of others esp in regards to
Sex.
Speaking of which you have a Phenotypic problem not a demographic one.
See your phenotypic characteristics, melanin deficient skin hair and eyes
Are all subordinate genetic traits
Meaning any sexual intercoure between albinic humans and fully melaniniated humans will result in a more melanin pigmented offspring.
So your group must continue to be unfair
Otherwise your group will eventually be erased phenotypically
And if it was just phenotype I could have concern but morally
I think your group is the worse thing about life and your groups extinction is the only thing that will convince me that life is ultimately fair or even worth it.
Bad news – we come into life not by our choice, but by the desire of our parents
And just like African Americans I doubt in my limited knowledge and experience
I would ever agree to this.
@afrofem abgond and all others friend or foe
I notice this averseral commenter does the same thing other “Conservatives” like to do – say without any evidence or example that someone in this case
AOC ideas are “_____’ fill the blank with any standard slur or insult.
It’s getting old ,but I suppose just cause a racist albino white male
Says something ,
In fact just cause anyone including me says something
Does not make it true.

I fell in love with her when she was talking to a white male reporter(who has scine been fired for being corrupt) and she was discussing all the needed social programs and the white male reporter responded with the standard attack, how are we going to pay for it.
For which AOC responded with ,why is that question never asked when it’s decided to go to war or give tax breaks to the rich.
And this was just before January 6
And I had a premonition watching her ,it said t”hey hate her for this and may try to have her killed.
Horrible but am I wrong?

Hmm. I noticed that too.
When Biden proposed “human infrastructure” spending on programs for early childhood education, paid family leave and tax credits for working parents with children, the Repubs and two rightwing Dems howled about how there was “no money” available for such programs.
Joe Manchin (D-WVA) went so far as to say people would use money provided by the government to buy drugs and go hunting.

Yet, now these same politicians are itching to send billions of taxpayer funded weapons to Ukraine. All without any thoughts about cost or misuse of funds by weapons manufacturers.
Any drug buying or hunting trips by them is apparently A-OK to the likes of Joe Manchin and his Repub compatriots.

She should quit politics and make an Only Fans. I’d find her much more tolerable if she did so. She could probably make good money, too.
