Alexandria Ocasio Cortez is the fresh blood Democrats need

in politics •  6 years ago 

Her historic win suggests the possibility of a major swing in the Democratic Party. A young outsider in her first election defeating an entrenched, highly ranked Democrat who raised more than 10x as much during the campaign is a huge deal.

This is why I tell people not to just accept the status quo. This is the perfect time for Independents and third parties to make a push and gain ground in both the state and federal levels. If you have an Independent or third-party you support, get out and support them. Tell your friends, build support. That's what these upcoming years supposed to be about.
Going against the grain and fighting the status quo. Major props and congratulations to Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez. We might not agree on everything, but your efforts showed that outside can break that glass ceiling, and nothing is set in stone.


The result has potentially massive implications for the Democratic Party

and to think,, Nancy Pelosi bragged, I think it was in 2014, about passing the protectionist law protecting members of Congress from being prosecuted for Insider Trading. and people want more of the same? when was the last time any sitting congressional member did ANYTHING for their constituants? Excluding Bernie Sanders who has run trying to enact the same policies to benefit Americans for 30 years, who else?
