What does she know about football?tempo_n_groove said:
That's fine but if the DNC would rather have someone else in that seat that plays well w the rest of the team they might be inclined to have her ousted and put their weight behind someone else. You know, how politics really is.dankind said:
She’s a huge fundraiser. I’m inclined to think that she’d raise just as much (or maybe even more!) without the democratic party’s support.tempo_n_groove said:
It's definitely going to ruffle some feathers and disrupt some status quo.dankind said:
Did you read the article? She's supporting members of the team -- just not always the members of the team that the coaches want on the playing field. She's leveling it a bit. That could be a good thing.mrussel1 said:
Fine, be an independent. I'm not arguing that she shouldn't do what she thinks is right, but refusing to pay party dues like everyone else, while still gaining the benefit of the party apparatus is bullshit. You're on the team or you're off the team. Make a decision. It's the same thing with Bernie. He puts the D on when it's convenient.dankind said:
I think she believes that what happens within her country/constituency is more important than what happens within her political party apparatus.mrussel1 said:Why is there a (D) next to her name? https://thehill.com/homenews/campaign/477705-ocasio-cortez-defends-decision-not-to-pay-dccc-dues
She's doing the opposite of the very thing that democrats always criticize republicans for; she is putting country BEFORE party.
Also, the article mentions that the DCCC is not hurting for money at this time.
Interesting take but when she needs help she might not get it and the big D train might put their eggs in another D basket.
Then she could run Indy?

Too soon to take on Chuck. Upstate voters won't go for her, yet. She needs to pay her dues, show she can work with the moderates within the party and find common ground with repubs, although that might be a lost cause. The senate is genteel and not full of firebrands. She could show some chops getting Sleepy Woke Joe's agenda through the House, which would set her up nicely for a statewide run.mrussel1 said:

And she can appeal to rural, white working poor having backed Bernie, street cred to a degree.Post edited by Halifax2TheMax on09/15/1998 & 09/16/1998, Mansfield, MA; 08/29/00 08/30/00, Mansfield, MA; 07/02/03, 07/03/03, Mansfield, MA; 09/28/04, 09/29/04, Boston, MA; 09/22/05, Halifax, NS; 05/24/06, 05/25/06, Boston, MA; 07/22/06, 07/23/06, Gorge, WA; 06/27/2008, Hartford; 06/28/08, 06/30/08, Mansfield; 08/18/2009, O2, London, UK; 10/30/09, 10/31/09, Philadelphia, PA; 05/15/10, Hartford, CT; 05/17/10, Boston, MA; 05/20/10, 05/21/10, NY, NY; 06/22/10, Dublin, IRE; 06/23/10, Northern Ireland; 09/03/11, 09/04/11, Alpine Valley, WI; 09/11/11, 09/12/11, Toronto, Ont; 09/14/11, Ottawa, Ont; 09/15/11, Hamilton, Ont; 07/02/2012, Prague, Czech Republic; 07/04/2012 & 07/05/2012, Berlin, Germany; 07/07/2012, Stockholm, Sweden; 09/30/2012, Missoula, MT; 07/16/2013, London, Ont; 07/19/2013, Chicago, IL; 10/15/2013 & 10/16/2013, Worcester, MA; 10/21/2013 & 10/22/2013, Philadelphia, PA; 10/25/2013, Hartford, CT; 11/29/2013, Portland, OR; 11/30/2013, Spokane, WA; 12/04/2013, Vancouver, BC; 12/06/2013, Seattle, WA; 10/03/2014, St. Louis.

i didn't mean she would be the one that wouldn't try to reach across the aisle, I mean could you imagine the complete loss of R street cred to anyone that worked with AOC?Halifax2TheMax said:
Police reform? Criminal justice reform? Infrastructure? I’m sure there are some policy/legislation where she could find common ground. The repubs on the other hand? Not so much.static111 said:
lol AOC common ground with Repubs!? in what universe? They have completely demonized her near everyday before she even took her seat.Halifax2TheMax said:
Too soon to take on Chuck. Upstate voters won't go for her, yet. She needs to pay her dues, show she can work with the moderates within the party and find common ground with repubs, although that might be a lost cause. The senate is genteel and not full of firebrands. She could show some chops getting Sleepy Woke Joe's agenda through the House, which would set her up nicely for a statewide run.mrussel1 said:
That's how you know it's a terrible idea. I don't think she could beat him. She's perfect for her district but things change quickly statewide.Ledbetterman10 said:
Well someone thinks that's a good idea....mrussel1 said:
Financially, for sure. Some are saying that she's going to challenge Schumer. That's a tall order. If she loses, she may have missed filling deadlines for her seat, leaving her out of Congress.static111 said:
