13. Jerry's district is not like AOC's

He got the only recent primary scare in recent years from an ultra-Orthodox sect in his district for not being pro-Israel enough. No one is interested in primarying him just because he has been around for a while. If AOC wants notches in her gun for knocking off long-term congresspeople, she is better off looking to knock off people who are NOT her political allies. The trouble with drive-by shootings is you sometimes kill people who might be your friends.

I sure hope she puts some of that energy of hers into ousting some Republicans soon. Squinch Jun 2020 #28
