Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez Wins Democratic Primary Election by a Landslide


It does not surprise me at all that Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez won a re-election in her district. According to News Break she won by a landslide. While I am not surprised, I am pleased. From everything I have heard AOC had everything thrown at her from both the conservative wing of the Democratic Party and the Republicans. The establishment has tried to derail her. There is little doubt that the other so called members of “The Squad” are under attack from the more established members of the Democratic Party. While AOC is a member of the Democratic Socialists of America (DSA), other such Democrats are merely “progressive” as was Elizabeth Warren. We now have a foot hold on the political landscape of the US and it is up to all of us to keep that foot hold. That means supporting new members of the progressive wing, such as “The Squad” and supporting even newer members of congress that have progressive leanings. This is way more important than just supporting Joe Biden or even Bernie Sanders. These lower ranking politicians have a much better chance of changing things than the yahoos we are electing to the presidency. Let’s carry on…..

From News Break:
Back in 2018, some people wrote off Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez‘s campaign and victorious win in the primary election as a fluke. Yes, her success was a surprise to everyone, including herself, but there was no way in denying that AOC had something special. She was a fighter and still is. Last night, the 30-year-old congresswoman won her second victory in the Democratic primary election. AOC’s main opponent was Michelle Caruso-Cabrera, a former journalist and former republican. AOC obtained 72.6 percent of the votes.
