Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez’s Insane Political Platform that Won Her a Seat in Congress

Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez has been the story of the week, undoubtedly - and there's no doubt she has accomplished something remarkable, ousting 10-term incumbent Rep. Joe Crowley in New York's 14th congressional district this week. As CNN put it, she "won over voters in the minority-majority district with a ruthlessly efficient grassroots bid, even as Crowley -- the fourth-ranking Democrat in the House -- outraised her by a 10-to-1 margin." She's no doubt the new hero for liberals. But the platform that she ran on and won with is nothing short of insane, and would be a disaster to both New York, and the country - if implemented. I explain my thoughts on why.

You cannot "COEXIST" with people who want to kill you.
If they kill their own with no conscience, there is nothing to stop them from killing you.
Rational fear and anger at vicious murderous Islamic terrorists is the same as irrational antisemitism, according to the Leftists.

She still has to win the general election. She has only won the primary.

LOL!  Turnabout is fair play.

Let the DEMS feel what it's like...putting up non-vetted candidates who get creamed in general elections.

Well – it’s like I mentioned in a different thread, they elected Bill de Blasio twice.

I clicked the link and read it after waiting four minutes for the ads to stop...  :whistle:

I had to laugh at the thing about "supporting veterans"  - as if ANY LEFTIST does that...

Well of course she is going to win. It's a full tilt Leftist district. NY 14 is part of the Bronx and Queens. It's Hipster Millennial land now. You have to go all the way back to Susan Molinari to find a time when it was briefly GOP. Before that you probably need to go back to LaGuardia.

The last 4 US House elections in this district went to the Democrat with over 70% of the vote.  I think she's a shoe-in.
