The election of this Puerto Rican 28 year old is just Stephen Solarz redux. Crowley's district had been reconfigured similar to what happened to nine term, liberal Dem NY Jewish Congressman Stephen Solarz in 1992. His new district was predominantly Hispanic. Solarz was defeated in the Democratic primary by Nydia Velazquez who was the first Puerto Rican woman elected to Congress.

Crowley's new district is 50% Hispanic, 18% white, 11% black, and 16% Asian. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez's victory is just a replay of the Solarz loss. In the era of tribal politics, a white, pasty faced Irishman no matter how liberal, was not considered appropriate to represent a minority populated district. Crowley was not the first, nor will he be the last, white liberal to be replaced by a minority.

And even black urban politicians will face replacement by Hispanics. Charlie Rangel's district was majority Hispanic and he was eventually forced out. Maxine Waters district is more than two thirds Hispanic, albeit many of the them not able to vote legally.

With a few exceptions, the MSM is not covering this aspect of Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez's victory. They talk about her political positions, but the real reason she won is identity politics.

The thin veneer of white liberals who run the Dem party are very aware of the coming revolution within their ranks. It amazes me how Stephen Cohen, Dem, 9th district TN still has his seat since 2007. The 9th district is 66% black and 25% white. It was Harold Ford's old seat. About half a dozen members of the Black Caucus in CA and TX are now in districts, which are more Hispanic than black. Their days are numbered.

What is it they say never get in the way of your enemy when they are in the process of self destructing?

This new reality is Not lost on Mad Maxine. Using the race angle on Nanci P. and the Shmucker no longer has the power it once may have had. No repercussion on Nanci or Shmucker from the White Propaganda offices.

However even mildly educated blacks may be figuring this out - could be the reason for the WalkAway movement
