Bryson Pittman stacey abrams, john fetterman, Richard Ojeda, paulette jordan, Kara Eastman, Ben Jealous and many more Berniecrats who have won primaries say hello.
drew vader Stacey Abrahams wasn't a bernicrat neither was Paulett Jordan btw Ojeda supported Trump genius as a democrat I congratulate Ocasio and hope she gets in line and acts like a democrat when we retake the House we can't afford a member that will cause trouble
So here's the deal. I live in this district and I voted today. I could tell that things were probably not going to go well for Crowley because they've been knocking on everyone's door.... offering rides to bring people to the polls etc. It was clear that he was scared. Three things happened here.... 1. She is a very good candidate. Likable, articulate, passionate, etc. 2. Most of this district is probably the most ethnically diverse neighborhood in the entire country (literally). She was able to use that, along with young people, and other minority groups (LGBT) to garner enough support for a win. 3. She's from the Sanders camp and very progressive, but in a reasoned way. NY politics (which Crowley had major influence on) is complicated. In short, the democratic machine/establishment is VERY strong. To see her win and another race that is coming down to 700 vote margin and another that was close.... all three from the progressive wing.... should make this democratic establishment VERY worried. Congrats to AOC!
Venezuela is a nation rich with natural resources such as oil, gold, diamonds and other minerals. Yet, it is experiencing a crisis in which most people cannot find food or medicine. It has gone from a rich nation of capitalism to 14 years of socialism under Chavez …..America has been a very rich nation under Capitalism and a Constitution of freedom and opportunity and limited Federal government for nearly 250 years and yet the democrats are promoting socialism and many of our youth are falling for this insanity …….
Venezuela is what results from high levels of corruption mixed with an economy that was too dependent on oil. Nothing wrong with wanting to try policies that we can see working in other countries, like universal healthcare. Ask anyone from a country with universal care or a senior citizen in the US if they'd rather have private insurance and you'd be looked at like a crazy person. Capitalism is working great for the rich, no question, but we need to invest more in improving the opportunities for everyone.
Rare Form Before Chavez, Venezuela was a already a failed state. All income from exporting petroleum was handle by the Department of petroleum. This department paid the imports goods that were sold in the supermarkets. Most of the products sold in the stores were made in other countries. The other administrations prior to Chavez didn't invest into national industries. Money that the Venezuelans received from the oil, the Department of petroleum pay the import copmanies.
Rare Form Most of the primitive unrest in Venezuela is caused by CIA-supported groups, that has been opposed to public control of Venezuelas ressourses all along. Corporate USA cannot "allow" a Latin American country having control of their own ressources. Like Venezuela, my "neighbours" Norway kept control of their oil, and they now have the worlds largest oilfund. They invest in companies and projects all over the world, and the entire population benefits from that. Venezuela could be like that, if they were not boycotted and harassed by corporate USA, who always has worked against democratically elected governments in Latin-America.
The fact is our society wouldn't be able to succeed without socialism a la, education, infrastructure, police, firemen, medicare, social security, unemployment insurance, exc...
Political Forecast - Election Predictions I'm libertarian buddy. Other than Police, Millitary, infrastructure, and judicial/legal system everything else should be privatized. Public schools that over pays teachers, and them gives them tenure so they cant be fired is why our education system is horrible. If teachers could be fired when their kids weren't doing well enough in class I guarantee our numbers would drastically go up. You need competition to see success, the private sector solves most problems all on it's own.
THIS is what all Democrats should run like in 2018 and in 2020.
Finally the progressive candidate wins a high profile race.
I'm sure Crowley will get a massive lobbyist job for the establishment.
...and when he knocks on her door (in DC), she can laugh at his face and give him the bum's rush
Like what she said, Money vs People.
THE PEOPLE WON!
Progessivism is the future of the country! This is a big win!!
Laugh all you like, the truth won't be denied
Go to Washington and Raise hell Alexandria!! Big win for Justice Dems. was low-key starting to lose hope
My God she did it how in the hell did this happen I give Bernie bros the right to brag tonight

Ocasio-Cortez is a fox.
