Ocasio-Cortez's victory means that everything I think about party politics is correct and everything

that people who disagree with me are incorrect. It is so simple and applies to every district in every state whether majority blue, majority red, or purple. Crowley's defeat means the exact same thing. It is obvious and I am amazed that everyone doesn't see it.

And articles about it from most pundits and the like simply because it's almost always framed through their agenda. At most I'll look at what Nate Silver might say about it.

But my lesson with politics is two-fold and is something I learned very early on:

All politics is local

Politics makes strange bedfellows

Intelligent, communicates extremely well, passionate and she is very knowledgeable.

The young lady is the new face of the party, methinks.

Newer, and an unabashed liberal.

If we survive this mentally challenged dictator loving autocrat hopefully we can skew back to where we need to be.

I see what you did there. I have an elementary school age child and the thought processes I've seen here on this topic, mirror the logic of these younger school aged children.
One major win out of many is an indication that the Democratic has been put one notice. My trash can is filled with such posts.
Anyway, I celebrate all Democrats, our job now is to help GOTV and get them elected in November. I have no energy for bs, we've got to end this nightmare.
