As long as she carries the Democrat label she will cow to the powers at the top. Even the king of rube mountain knows better than to fall for the potential of a young politician. She will start disappointing you the instant she takes office.

I rarely troll.

Our hotel smelled like dead hooker vagina (before you ask I had gotten a detailed description from beardown)

The problem is that the Democratic Establishment refuses to acknowledge that we have been living in an era of populist revolt--spawned by the failure of neoliberal economic policies--since 2008. Obama's first presidential campaign was imbued with populist rhetoric, but Obama largely abandoned a populist vision upon being elected...the Democratic party has yet to acknowledge its ideological folly of the last three decades and return to a politics by and for "the people".

She is about to taste genuine success and a better lifestyle. Nothing is more fatal to the socialist mindset than an upper middle class income. She may continue pandering ideologically to her constituency but her heart will never be in it more than it is now. In November she becomes a member of the Washington elite and from there she undergo a sudden, remarkable transformation into an establishment Democrat.

She will become a younger, better looking and perhaps more ambitious version of the guy she replaced.

I'm a big dumb shitlib baby

The current Hillary-Crats will hate her soon enough

Nah..., She will be initiated into Psi-Chi-Clinton Sorority in November

In my admittedly limited knowledge of her, she seems like a Sanders-style socialist whose primary focus is the working class. Even if idealistic, it is palatable. The current Hillary-Crats will hate her soon enough when she makes a comment about how poverty doesn't have a race or that racial and gender issues are really economic issues (or if she implies that shaking hands is different than rape). Still, it's encouraging to see non-establishment types rising up. Maybe the advent of social media and the ability for individuals to spread a message will be a net positive.

The future holds the possibility to be great or terrible, and since it has not yet occurred it remains simultaneously both.

You can write that about any politician regardless of party.

1) she's a woman and a person of color. Identity politics, baby
2) She has enough markers of the professional-managerial class (double-major in econ and IR from BU, worked for Ted Kennedy) that they'll see her as one of their own and not a real threat to their power, which, hell, she really might have been all along, in which case oops

Have a terrible night and die in MANY fires.

But one waitress has a bad memory of working with Ocasio-Cortez, 28, as Ocasio-Cortez tended bar during the very busy Cinco de Mayo celebration in 2017.

At the end of the night, when it came time to split the $560 in tips she had gotten at the bar, Ocasio-Cortez gave the waitress only $50. After the waitress complained to her manager, her take was doubled to $100, a source said.

You may not agree with her politics but these complaints are nothing more than a hit campaign. An unnamed co-worker? If that's all they can come up with she's definitely going to be the most honorable person in the House. And if you read her answer to them trying to paint her as some wealthy suburbanite, well, I think she pretty much dominated that conversation.

The problem is that the Democratic Establishment refuses to acknowledge that we have been living in an era of populist revolt--spawned by the failure of neoliberal economic policies--since 2008. Obama's first presidential campaign was imbued with populist rhetoric, but Obama largely abandoned a populist vision upon being elected. His half-assed attempts at financial reform both failed to address the fundamental issues of economic inequality and underemployment that have plagued American society since the Clinton administration and maintained neoliberal hegemony. Obama's refusal to challenge the central pillars of neoliberalism exacerbated populist anger and paved the way for the ascendance of Donald Trump, who shrewdly recognized the political opportunity created by Obama's cowardice. Trump's disingenuous, faux populism has triumphed only because the Democratic party has yet to acknowledge its ideological folly of the last three decades and return to a politics by and for "the people".

This is going to reach a head pretty soon.

yikes

If Bernie Sanders is the nominee in 20 the Dems lose and possibly lose big.

Trump wins again barring a criminal indictment. There isn't a Democrat out there with a high enough profile to defeat him.

I hope its Sanders by the way.

Why would anyone want Bernie to run again? He's going to be 79 in 2020. Hopefully the Dems will come up with someone with the stones.
