AT: The Bronx is quite an anomaly in the overall liberal tapestry that is New York City. It’s not 100% liberal like Manhattan and Brooklyn, and it’s certainly not as red as conservative Staten Island. Instead, residents of the beautiful borough are cut from the cloth of folk who believe in moderate politics and sensible approaches to policy. So it comes as a bit of a surprise that one of the nation’s hottest Democratic stars is Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, Democratic candidate for New York’s 14th Congressional District, which takes in the Bronx and Queens. On a much more local level, Ocasio-Cortez has found a fellow self-avowed socialist comrade in 32-year-old Alessandra Biaggi, Democratic candidate for New York’s 34th state Senate district. Besides their socialist inclinations, they also share the labels of “underdog,” “longshot,” “feminist,” and “Democratic candidate.”
The most fascinating aspect of these politicians is the primary victories they scored against two of the biggest Bronx political kahunas, Congressman Joseph Crowley and state senator Jeff Klein, entrenched figures of the Bronx political swamp for nearly twenty years. Although they served in New York City, they maintained moderate stances on political issues, at least while in their districts. So now Crowley, the man who was well positioned to be the heir to Nancy Pelosi’s throne, and Klein, the leader of the renegade Independent Democratic Conference in the New York State Senate, are on the outside looking in. With no serious GOP contenders slated to run against the female candidates, the socialists are firmly poised to win their respective races come Tuesday. more here
The democrats finally admitting openly they are socialists is a good thing. Never interrupt your enemy while they are making a mistake.
If she wins, hear The Bronx Cheer.
Get it? 💩
I look forward to Occasional Cortex joining Ted Lieu as a strident voice of the Left, driving more and more voters to the other side.
It’s what her constituents want, apparently. And as long as there are only a few like these in a sea of 435 I am happy to have their crazy contributions.
Anyone with an IQ above room temperature, moved away from the NYC metro area years ago. What you have left are the lofo voters who think socialism would be great.
Give them what they want.
Isolate them and let them organize themselves as socialists.
No outside assistance. No taxing others. Have at it.
Then step back and watch it collapse of its own contradictions.
As they die of starvation and torture, video them for the sake of future idiots who want to follow the same foolishness.
Ever notice that the socialists DEMAND that the “capitalists” finance their stupidities? They are incapable of invention, innovation, production, and imagination – they are only capable of lying, deceit, violence, hatred, torture, and destruction – and History bears this out – it is NOT a supposition of mine.
How bout “NO!” or “HELL NO!”
izlamo delenda est …
Cortex is as lame as obama, but withoUT the bebefit of the freshness of the scam the media was able to pull off with the grotesque obamas.
With the curtain pulled back, the liked of Obama and cortez are malignant morons.
Occasional Cortex is a misnomer. Her cortex doesn’t operate even occasionally. Complete bot.
Cortez is just the latest fad. She is good looking (if she keeps her mouth shut and doesn’t do the bug-eyed thing), blathers talking points with filler words that mean nothing, she is young and appears sophisticated with trendy clothes.
That’s it.
I’d tip her, but wouldn’t spring for a table dance. . . just say’in.
I don’t really follow this skirt but…… I saw her when she started.
The actual fug happened to her? She looks like she aged 10 years in 3 months.
Coming soon; The Bronxit!
