The Official Thread for Democratic Socialism

Some of her fellow Democrats are not in a welcoming mood.

Former Clinton adviser Doug Schoen agreed with outgoing Democratic Sen. Claire McCaskill's (Mo.) recent criticism of Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, arguing the soon-to-be-freshman lawmaker should not be the new face of the party.

Responding on "The Five," Schoen said that he'd prefer if the 29-year-old Bronx native would "just go away" because of her far-left positions, emphasizing Democrats need to win over moderate voters to defeat President Trump in 2020.

"I hope Nancy Pelosi gets to her and says she'd do better for herself to be silent for a while, because she is not the face or the voice of the Democratic Party that I grew up with, know and continue to support," he said.

Mainstream Democrats. The slightly less bad cop of the good cop/bad cop that is American politics.

There's the Clinton wing, and the Sanders wing of which Ocasio-Cortez is a part.

Something tells me Alex will not go quietly into the night.

The corporate media will attempt to destroy her.

Anyone else notice that when the press refers or attributes any quotes they do not bestow a Sen. tag to Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez. More often they just refer to her as Ocasio-Cortez not Senator Ocasio-Cortez. There seems to be a hesitation to give her any respect due her office.

Well she's not actually a senator. She's a Congressman(woman?)-elect

Okay, maybe after her inauguration she will get recognized as part of Congress. Or, maybe they won't. 

[arch stanton]

In keeping with the spirit of this thread, do you think she understands the concept of a bicameral legislation? Or does she maybe think it's a desert pack animal with 2 humps or a melted sugar candy that swings both ways?

And which thought is more absurd, changing the birth citizen requirement so Arnold could run for pres or the age requirement so she can run?

My office is empty right now and I'm bored to friggin death

[fan_since79]

She'll be a senator soon enough.

She's calling for reparations. Bernie Sanders isn't even in favor of that.

That retard is going to be greatest gift to the GOP in a long time. She's the left's version of Sarah Palin.

I don’t think so. This chick is an actual human being. I feel bad for her actually. She thinks she’s going to make a difference. 

[Adam]

She won’t make a difference
