EXCLUSIVE: Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez has already topped the fundraising charts in her short time in Congress, but the liberal darling won’t donate a cent of her millions to Democrats' House campaign organization -- a position that has rankled some of her colleagues, Fox News has learned.
Instead, Ocasio-Cortez is building her own fundraising operation for fellow progressive candidates to bypass the official Democratic Party infrastructure. Already, she's actively funding primary challengers to oust certain Democratic colleagues

Much more at source. Long article.
They created a monster....
Excellent. Keep running hard left.
New York is going to lose another 1-2 seats in Congress during the next Reapportionment.
I suspect hers will be gerrymandered away.
The Democrat establishment will find a way to get rid of her.
Fund independents too...
“party dues”
Sounds kinda... commie...
I wish we could give money to conservatives we support without it being dispersed to other candidates. Good for AOC on this one!
I see her argument about the Dem Party not being principled (although their principles suck). But, on balance, it comes down to her having a huge ego, and wanting to call shots for everyone.
I wonder if she will continue to make it big in politics, or if she will shift over to show business. Because, there is a certain similarity between the two, and she certainly builds her following on star power rather than rational policy prescriptions.
Don’t Democrats believe in redistribution? She’s got all these millions and she won’t share through the official structure ?? What the heck??
This sort of action can only tick off the wrong people in the Democrat party. She may get hers eventually, just a thought.
she’s just stealing from a bigger tip jar.
PING
Article and # 7.
As a ‘practicing’ Socialist shouldn’t she throw all of her donations in the pot with everyone else’s so it can be evenly divided?
The rich dims should pay for the poor dims..it’s the socialist progressive thing to do?
“They created a monster....”
It’s interesting to watch. AOC has some powerful backing, and is not someone to be ignored.
AOC is the Wiley E. Coyote of the Democratic Party.
Well, "she" personally isn't, but her handlers are for sure.
“..Ocasio-Cortez is building her own fundraising operation for fellow progressive candidates...”
Of course she is.
She, and others like her, are trying to get rid of the old “liberal” democrats and replace them with outright socialist/communist democrats so they can do to EVERY state what they just did to Virginia.
Look up the “Brand New Congress” project. Another Soros-funded subversion initiative.
I remember a time when we used to FIGHT communists in this country, not elect them.
