Looks like another one who needs to go and another reason Beto O'Rourke's call for reasonable term limits resonates so strongly for me. Luckily Engel has a great challenger.

(93 posts)I have voted for someone who wasn't the incumbent in a primary because I thought it was my best choice, not always because I thought someone was flat out a bad rep. There were also a lot of voters who did vote for Crowley. It isn't as simple as you just tried to make it. Most peoples mentality isn't simply for or against. It's also a bit of a slap in the face to AOC to think she only won because Crowley was a bad rep. She campaigned hard and did a great job of garnering and harnessing national attention.

(52,130 posts)and frankly it was stupid. For the most part it solved an problem we didn't have. And frankly if Obama could have run for a third term just imagine how much better off we would be.

Should right wing agitprop talking points be spread on DU?

(2,753 posts)NY1 is legitimate local news channel in NYC for those not in the area. Also don't see any photo of Trump scrolling through her account, and even if there was one it would be in relation to the news she is covering. You should self-delete your post.
