Excellent!
the first four words were enough.
Anthony Pappas is the Republican nominee in this district.
“New Yorkers are morons if she gets elected.”
The majority are morons...period.
Traded one socialist for another.
Does he have any chance whatsoever? We sure could use the pickup.
This is delicious. I have long time Dem relatives who are now saying the party is going too left for them. If they are saying this, others are too, and a red tsunami is coming November.
Perhaps it is now time for someone to ask if the Democratic Socialists of America are an independent political party or a “wing/branch” of the current Democrat Party?
Either the Democrapt Party publicly announces that the DSA is part of them or not. If not then the DSA has to run as a 3d party.
From what I have seen and heard from Crowley I would say that he is a socialist a**hole too.
This is GREAT news. Not only does a swamp critter get replaced but gets replaced by someone who doesn’t HIDE their far leftiness.
I wonder how many of those 15,000-something votes even directly voted for her knowing who she was, vs. not liking the incumbent or voting for the candidate with the Hispanic-sounding name (50% Hispanic district and it's probably a strong majority of the Democratic primary electorate) or just randomly voting and not caring. How many dedicated votes do you think she even got? If this wasn't for the fact that it was "the #4 Democrat," no one would think twice about this result, especially considering her House voting record will undoubtedly be 95%+ the same as Joe Crowley's would have been.
I see this as simply another Eric Cantor-David Brat situation, where the incumbent neglected the district (Crowley sent a surrogate to a debate rather than having himself show up) and lost, and despite the media going berserk over it, it's really not that big of a deal.
Is she a citizen?
Thank you.
I did some research.
The key issues for his campaign focus on economic and social issues that have long been in the news, but politicians never seem to reform or resolve. Among the issues, Pappas noted the importance of establishing a fairer tax system with progressive taxation on corporate profits, establishing tax brackets so that huge corporate profits are taxed at a higher rate. He would also restore the deductibility of state and local taxes for taxpayers in New York and other states, and would make international deals to eliminate tax havens for companies and individuals in the Cayman Islands and other places.
...............................
Enforcing anti-trust laws by resisting corporate mergers and monopolies is also on Pappas’ campaign agenda as well as protecting the environment by joining international climate agreements, clearly indicating that he is not a typical Republican candidate. The issue that is most important to Pappas is criminal justice and civil justice reform. He plans to “stop the over-criminalization of America,” noting that the United States “has 25 percent of the world’s prisoners but only 5 percent of the world’s population.” Among the reforms he would see implemented are establishing “humane conditions in prisons” and assisting the “transition to civilian life after release from prison.”

New Yorkers are morons if she gets elected. (they'll elect her)
“There is no room for whitey in the Democratic Party.”
I don’t agree or disagree, but it does make me wonder that if true, when do white people form their own party and consolidate their vote? If/when that happens, will it be considered racist and outlawed?
They have somebody running, but he seems like a Democrat in an R jersey.
So where do the Roosevelt-McGovern Dems go for a home after they have been thrown to the curb?
