Ocasio-Cortez Confronts Crowley Over His 'Third-Party Challenge'

[Jim Lane]

95. So the "right wing talking point" is true.

Rupert Murdoch does not possess reverse infallibility. As you say, Members of Congress take different approaches to the problem of living space. Those who are any distance from DC have at least two dwellings; the one in the DC area may be a bolt hole (good description) or a real residence where the family lives. Crowley is one of those whose family stays in the DC area.

That's a perfectly understandable choice. Contrary to your post, I'm not using the fact to "tar" him. I'm saying only that he has created facts on the ground that affect the current situation.

You and others keep referring to this in terms like "attempt to strip any person of their home" -- as if an armed posse of BernieBros were showing up at the Crowley family manse in Queens and evicting him. Crowley can keep whatever dwelling place he currently uses in New York. This is a temporary change in the designation of his legal residence, as between the two dwelling places he already has.

In a just world, the same situation would recur in another Congressional district, only with the Sanders organizer losing the Democratic primary but remaining on the November ballot on a third-party line. Comparing the DU reactions would be highly amusing. Because the world is seldom that fair, however, I don't expect that to happen.

And with that, I'm done. You and others have used such misleading rhetoric (strip him of his home, indeed) that I conclude there is no point in pursuing the subject further.
