“many cannot read and are already jumping to calling her a Communist/Marxist”

Is the Left going to embrace anything other than pandering to the so called moderate Republicans, trying to take the moral high ground when dealing with craven, unhinged sociopaths and caving on everything?

The Young Turks have always said that primaries are more important than the general. Cortez’ victory is why. Voters won. Not donors. Hopefully this is the first step for Progressives to take back the Democratic party. I want every corporate democrat to shit their pants as uncorrupted Progressives crush them all in…

This. She’s excellent at it, believes in it, and gets how class is racialized. 

It cracks me up how many moderate loyalist democrats think the DSA is just too radical and extreme when they’re the most reasonable, sensible group on the left (looking at you, PSL)

I, a socialist, fully support this motion.

Fuck that, we NEED the dems to get primaried by socialists. No more half measures. 

Great news. Maybe Dems will stop being such pussies and embrace the so called “far Left.”

Behold the future of our party. Centrism doesn’t work anymore in a hyperpartisan environment. Our only opportunity is to provide a genuine alternative to the status quo, and this is it.

God how I needed good news tonight.  This gives me hope.  

Very exciting to see endorsements made by Our Revolution finally showing results. Recall that the New York Times did not run a single article on Ocasio-Cortez during this primary race, yet just a week ago published a piece with a narrative suggesting Our Revolution has been ineffectual.

Friendly reminder: not only do we need to vote out the GOP motherfuckers, we need the Dems to fear getting primaried by socialists. Bill Clinton sent the Dems into the weeds of bootlicking plutocrats for a generation by triangulating for moderate centrists; we take the party, and our country’s, soul back by…

This is seismic. And fuck the anti-Bernie crud. We can unite and run on progressive issues. 

this is badass.

fight back.
take it back.

don’t let the fascists have a cakewalk....

From my comment over on Splinter about this:

Fun fact: Crowley couldn’t even be bothered to show up at a debate...he sent a stand-in...arrogant much?!?!?  Mazel gurl...good on you.

Take a star for your gemstone burn!

This is absolutely what a Bernie presidency would’ve looked like, and a good illustration of why relentless pressure from the left is the only way to keep such a thing from turning into more standard-issue reactionary bullshit. Same goes for any presidency, of course.

I am a Bernie supporter and this is waffling.
