Ayanna Pressley, Dem backed by Ocasio-Cortez, upsets Michael Capuano in Massachusetts House primary

Boston city councilor Ayanna Pressley unseated 10-term U.S. Rep. Michael Capuano in a Democratic primary Tuesday in the latest shakeup of the House Democratic caucus by a far-left challenger.

Capuano conceded defeat to Pressley in the race to represent Massachusetts' 7th District approximately 30 minutes before The Associated Press formally called the race. With 69 percent of precincts reporting late Tuesday, Pressley had the lead by 10,682 votes.

Pressley, who is running unopposed in November, is set to become the first African-American woman elected to Congress from the Commonwealth.

Capuano is the fourth House member to lose a primary this year, along with Reps. Robert Pittenger, R-N.C.; Mark Sanford, R-S.C., and fellow 10-term Rep. Joe Crowley, D-N.Y.

The once great Democrat party has become a party of anarchists bent on the destruction of America and all it stands for.

In a parliamentary system the crazies all band together into lots of small niche parties called things like the Democratic Social Justice for Green Workers Party. In the USA, they just join the democrats.

Capuano and Crowley are both as far left as you can get. They were not beaten for socialism.

Unfortunately for them, they are both white.

Ideology is so 20th Century. The 21st Century is the century of the blood.

Until their defeats, I had never heard of either of these two eastern liberal congressmen.

Not a great surprise to me that a Socialist Democrat beat a run of the mill Democrat on the great Socialist State of Assachusetts.
