These are two Democrats, showing how Democrats work together.

[InAbLuEsTaTe]

1. Perhaps we could all learn from their example.

[rpannier]

10. Be nice if it would

But... we already have one in the thread who is pissing all over it

[LostOne4Ever]

2. It is great to see the party coming together after a primary to work to beat the republicans!

It is time to put our differences aside and work together!

[Marbgd1]

3. There we go

that is MUCH better now, isn't it?

Good luck to all

[Wwcd]

4. Ummm..she should explain why her good friend Jimmy Dore

has so much viscious shite to say about Democrats like Hillary Clinton, President Obama, Tammy Duckworth, Kamala Harris, & that great welcoming Democratic Party that Ocasio Cortez rode the blue wave on tonite.
I'd like to hear her denounce Dore & his claim that the BLUE & Red are 'the same'.

Along with other goodies such as his promotion of Jill Stein's Green Party on one hand while she rubbed shoulders with Putin on the other.

She needs to denounce her anti-Dem pal Jimmy.

His twitter feed reads like the Koch owned Tea & Libertarian Parties.

Glad she's only there for 2 years.
We'll wait & see how much worth her words carry when it comes time to stand with the Democrats against the GOP.

I hope she is everything she claims to be, but with Dore as her pal, I'm doubting her ability to stand in unity with the Democrats on behalf of humanity.

Dore is as Anti-Dem as one can be.
Yup, nothing says unity like Jimmy Dore for a pal.
She needs to publicly Lose that friend in a hurry because we really need to have faith in her word.


I wish her the ability to actually live up to her word when the Steins & Dores are standing right behind her talking their anti-Dem smack in her ear.
Good Luck

5. so do all of your friends share all of your values?

[Wwcd]

6. Jimmy Dore has run a massive smear campaign against the Dem Political Party.

The likes of Jimmy Dore would never hold a place in my world at all.
Nor would his pal Alex Jones.

Why would they?

[JI7]

7. i don't think she mentioned all the Jimmy Dore Crap in her Campaiging for the Seat

[Wwcd]

8. Well of course not. Not when she's running on the Dem ticket.

Proof will be the the pudding. When she votes.

[JI7]

18. she will vote according to how she ran. there is a reason she didn't run

on all the jimmy dore and other conspiracy crap.

[Wwcd]

19. Hey. He's her friend. People have every right to their suspicions

I hope she stands with the Dem Party that gave her a place for her platform.

Women's Rights are Human Rights
Jimmy Dore hated HRC's famous 1995 Bejing quote.

Maybe they're not friends anymore, now that she's made Hillary's women's rights quote part of her own platform.

[Lordquinton]

9. Who?

I think we need to stand behind our Democratic candidates, instead of tearing them down before republicans even get the chance.

[Wwcd]

12. Its not her, its her 'friend'

It is the propaganda of the likes of Dore that aided in the turning of our great democracy towards fascism.

That gave us Gorsuch, & created the disaster at the US/Mexico border. That turned us against our allies & towards the most cruel dictators in the world.

She really needs to denounce him.
I'd hope to see solid support for the Dem Party & that she will stand for all the fine things she brought to the race.

She is very positive & encouraging.
Until Dore's affiliation appears. Then it becomes a difficult.

Sorry. She really needs to denounce him & stand with her fellow Dems. He doesn't.

[Lordquinton]

37. I have never heard of him before she won

and I'll be a lot of others haven't either, but now you're using him to attack a Dem candidate, why?

He didn't bring us Gorsuch, McConnell did. Sessions brought us the nightmare at the border, Trump is turning us against our allies.

Some guy most people have never heard of really didn't do that much. Need to start focusing on the tasks at hand and stop attacking our own allies and support our candidates.

[rpannier]

11. Lots of people have friends that have views diametrically opposed to theirs

Take Ruth Bader Ginsburg and her good friend, the late Anthony Scalia
Hunter Thompson and Pat Buchanan
The late Korean President (quite liberal) Kim Dae Jung and the late conservative columnist Robert Novak

[Wwcd]

13. Dore is hardly the caliber of a SC judge or a foreign leader.

He's on the level of Alex Jones and makes his living & claim to fame by smearing the name of every Dem & the Dem Party with propaganda & lies.

There is no professional level to Jimmy Dore other than a paid Anti-Democratic media hack.

He has no redeeming qualities.
He's not a friend. He has done his part in destroying everything good & sound that was possible for our nation.

She needs to wipe that stain off her good name.

[griloco]

14. And James Carville sleeps with the devil...

Though I agree, cutting off negative influences is wise.

[Wwcd]

17. Thank you. Especially as she steps into this very public position

Its about credibility. And in this volatile climate, it is critical.

[DFW]

23. If you are solid in your convictions, you don't succumb to the negative influence

I have a friend who is the devil incarnate politically. I'm not kidding. He's a dangerous, savvy and very successful complete nut case. He knows I hold his views in that light, and I sure as hell know he holds my views in the same light. I'll never change him (look him up, his name is Richard Viguerie, you'll see I am in no way exaggerating, he's really off the deep end), and he'll never change me.

The trouble is, he is an expert at "leaving his guns at the door" if he needs to, and we get along great (as long as politics doesn't enter the discussion). His own personal background led him to his path the same way mine did to mine. It's a little late to change either one of us, so neither of us tries. He, of course, is a high profile right wing nut case, where I am a nobody, but he treats me as an equal, something most prominent right wing ideologues would never do.

In this way, I do get some exposure in how these people think. It's scary, but I'd rather know for sure than be left in the dark.

[zipplewrath]

26. Um, your "Jeremiah Wright" moment?

Really, you wanna start there?

[Wwcd]

28. Well someone brought up his name & I looked at his twitter feed & it's pretty nasty towaods All Dems

That's what this is about.

This is current. Wright was long ago. Past tense.

[zipplewrath]

36. In the context of Ortez

You're pulling that reference into a context where a democratic candidate is being discussed. This is what the GOP did to Obama over some video of sermon that Obama didn't even attend. Yet they demanded he address it.

[Phoenix61]

31. So the purity test now has been extended

to ones friends? Seriously? Talk about wanting people to live in a bubble. Reminds me of Obama getting blasted due to his friendship with Rev Jeremiah Wright, Jr.

[Wwcd]

33. Ahh there you go. Got that opening for Wright.

This is current.
Wright was long ago

[Phoenix61]

34. Doesn't matter when it was it's the exact

same thing. It's bashing her based on the beliefs of her friend.

[Phoenix61]

35. What are you basing the "good friend"

statement on?

[SleeplessinSoCal]

15. thankfully, yesterday in the CA48th the two top dems have coalesced.

16. Crowley didn't wait 8 weeks and 3 days to endorse?

What is this insanity!

20. Congratulations to Ms. Ocasio-Cortez.

Grassroots victory.

[RandiFan1290]

22. What a great victory!

The bitter whiny responses from the right makes it even sweeter!

[DFW]

24. A fairly held primary, an upset, the loser congrulates and endorses the winner

This is how it is supposed to be.

[NY_20th]

25. Exactly.

I'm amazed at how hard some in the media are trying to spin this as something bad for the Democratic Party.

[Wwcd]

29. To be expected. Media cashed in playing one against the other. Dvision was their directive.

Not much has changed where Media is concerned.
Money money $$, likes, clicks & all that.

[apnu]

27. Yup both Ocasio-Cortez and Crowley have been class acts.

This is a win.

[Blue_Tires]

30. LOL
