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…..

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.
