Given the rate at which the media fawns over this socialist, she’ll be named the 2020 Democratic POTUS nominee before she wins her election this fall.

I guess so.

It seems strange to think of it as that though, when this is where they’ve been heading since 1972, with George McGovern.

It’s rather comical now when they protest so loudly over this lady’s win.

Take a look at our university campuses, and tell me they aren’t even more wierded out than she is. And they’ve been pleased as punch with that.

ANTIFA, they loved it...

Violence, they loved it...

I guess they can enjoy sitting in the ooz they sank into.

You are 100% correct. Underestimating this movement is stupid. 40,000 people is a lot of people regardless of the size of the nation. Moreover, that number will only grow.

Having said that, I think this Democratic Socialist movement will do a lot more harm than good for the Democratic Party at first. We need to make sure the GOP (not GOPe) breaks their backs when they start to fracture the Democrat party. If they do that, the best case scenario for the Socialist Democrats will be controlling a few congressional districts in huge cities.

What the GOP can’t do is get complacent. Conservatives will have to be on their A game the next several election cycles to snuff these Demo-Socialists out and isolate their idiotic ideaology instead of letting it spread like cancer. The GOPe would paint these scumbags as “friends across the aisle” ... The Trump led GOP needs to paint them as the “Enemies of Liberty” and make their message the platform of the Democratic Party.

Finally, any major businesses stupid enough to support these dolts need to be called out instantly. There is absolutely zero call for an American company to be supporting socialists unless they want to be a sole provider of goods or service in a socialist economy.

The DSA is a communist front organization. Their website used to have page titles like “Karl Marx the man with a plan.”

They started the Progressive Caucus in the house. Nancy Pelosi was the Vice chair until she ran for the House leadership wherein she dropped all connection to the DSA/Prog. Caucus. During Nancy’s stint as Speaker all committee chairmen were Democrat/DSA members.....

Someone on twitter commented that she looked just like Eva Peron in one of her campaign posters.

I couldn’t agree more with all you say.

I think they are in bad trouble. They are getting crazier by the day and their true colors are showing and normal people see it and don’t like what they see.

more worrying is that NYT has begun calling her a “rock star” - which can be seen as a sign the MSM is preparing to groom someone for the Presidency:

Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez Emerges as a Political Star
The New York Times - 1 day ago
Ms. Ocasio-Cortez has been a waitress, a community activist and a campaign organizer for Bernie Sanders. Now she is a political rock star...

28 Jun: Newsbusters: ‘Like Cardi B.’: Media Drools Over ‘Political Rock Star’ Socialist
By Corinne Weaver
After Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez won the Democratic primary for the district of the Bronx and Queens in New York City, the media dramatically championed the Democratic Socialist’s cause, pushing her into the public eye as “an instant political rock star,” according to the New York Times...
The Times told her story as if it were a Cinderella rewrite...

In People Magazine, the headline reads: “Congressional Primary Victor Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez Reveals Her Power Red Lipstick Shade.” Not only does she want to abolish ICE and provide “healthcare reform for all,” she does it all while wearing a “signature red power lip.”...

8 April 2007: NYT: In Iowa, Obama shedding the rock star dazzle
By Adam Nagourney, New York Times
He talks — often in broad, general strokes — about an Obama White House that would provide healthcare to all, attack global warming, improve education, fix Social Security, and end the war in Iraq...

Mary Margaret Gran, a middle-school teacher , summed up her view the moment Obama had moved on to the next table.
“Rock star?” Gran said, offering the description herself. “That’s the national moniker. But dazzle is not what he is about at all. He’s peaceful.”...

Obama, wearing sunglasses as he sat in the back of a car that was taking him to a charter plane and then on to his home in Chicago for the Easter weekend, nodded when told what Sayer and Gran had said about him...

8 Aug 2008: HuffPo: Euro-trashed: McCain and GOP Aim to Redefine Obama as Un-American
By Bill Katovsky
What Nagourney failed to address is how Americans look at themselves and the world. Obama’s rock-star welcome in Berlin, where as many folks showed up to hear him speak as there were at Woodstock, played exceptionally well in almost all the international papers, but left the average American feeling left out, bewildered, or indifferent...

The Rats are in deep trouble. They are getting crazier by the day and their true colors are showing and normal people don’t like what they’re seeing.

It was because of Ocasio-Cortez and her ilk that I voted for Trump, albeit reluctantly.

Like many, I had had trouble taking Trump seriously and I had even actually considered Hillary. But the problem with Trump was Trump, while the problem with Hillary was not only her but her whole party, which devolved into a theater of the absurd. Once she was pressured into adopting Bernie's platform, I thought -- that's it. I'm through.

(Funny how liberals find Trump absurd, but not these kind of people.)

The democrats brought this on themselves; when they went along with a non-eligible (OBUNGHOLE) candidate that promised people (of color) free sh!t and backed him to the hilt.
Their first BLACK candidate proved to be a loser, a liar, and an anti-American asshole.
He managed to win them 2 elections and lose them a country.

followup to my earlier comment re “rock star” comment #70:

re this excerpt:

from HuffPo: Obama’s rock-star welcome in Berlin, where as many folks showed up to hear him speak as there were at Woodstock...

first, 200,000 became the “official” figure, but try to find any photo online with even that number that isn’t photo-shopped.

25 July 2008: World Politics Review: 200,000 ... or 20,000? Obama’s crowd in Berlin
by John Rosenthal
https://www.worldpoliticsreview.com/trend-lines/2492/200-000-or-20-000-obamas-crowd-in-berlin

I recall reading a BBC live blog at the time, with the reporter surprised those who were around him didn’t seem to know who Obama was. there was also talk that every Thursday night in this section of Berlin, there were street markets, etc.

it was definitely one of the most staged events ever...and the FakeNewsMSM went right along with it.

oh...and who helped Obama organise his pretentious speech in Berlin:

Wikipedia: Klaus Wowereit
Klaus Wowereit is a German politician, member of the SPD (Social Democratic Party), and was the Governing Mayor of Berlin from 21 October 2001 to 11 December 2014...
Wowereit is one of the most famous German politicians who is openly gay...

Please explain what a democratic socialist is. The peons get to vote on which elites will control every aspect of their lives?
