Here comes Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez

Joe Crowley just got bounced.

https://www.cnn.com/2018/06/26/polit...ary/index.html

This young lady appears to be to the left of Crowley. Just curious if you guys are cheering this, or if you're concerned.

At the very least, its a good thing to see young folks politically engaged.

I'm OK with the people of Queens and the Bronx exercising their franchise in accordance with their own wishes. I guess this shows how fired up the youth and progressive wing(s) of the Democratic party is. Not a good sign for the Lying Dotard this November.

Crowley was disrespectful and deserves to lose.

Democrats have been sitting on/stifling a lot of young, vibrant people.

I hear that there is some talk of Joe Biden. WTF

Democracy at work. No need for concern. This may just be an indication that Trump is helping reinvigorate the Democrats.

I knew there was a reason I liked you.
Unfortunately some of the dinosaurs here is CA will not get bounced to the detriment of the party. I am OK with Joe Biden, any friend of Obama is a friend of mine.

If Joe Biden is the answer the Democrats don't understand the question.

I think this may be a continuation of the 2016 election cycle that saw the rise of Bernie and the unexpected success of Trump. Some folks just don't like the entrenched alternatives.

Many young people were drawn to the Democratic party, but were put off by the Clintons and ended up in the Sanders camp.

This upset could be an inspiration to my very articulate, passionate young Democratic grand daughter.

I ask an open ended question, and it's proof that I've been listening to the radio? Sheesh.
