Progressive Bowman ousts Engel in New York primary
By Julia Manchester - 07/17/20 11:22 AM EDT

Progressive Democrat Jamaal Bowman defeated longtime Rep. Eliot Engel in New York's Democratic primary, pulling off a major anti-establishment win.

The win was widely anticipated after Bowman had built a double-digit lead on June 23, when the primary took place, though the counting of mailed-in ballots delayed the final results for more than three weeks.

Bowman's victory confirmation on Friday provides progressives a major boost after a mixed year of results, showcasing the strides made by the left in reshaping the Democratic Party. The district, New York’s 16th, is heavily Democratic and Bowman is almost certain to coast to victory in November.


It also marks another instance in which a senior lawmaker in the state is ousted in a primary after Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-N.Y.) stunned the political establishment by defeating former Rep. Joe Crowley (D-N.Y.) in 2018.

There's no need to worry about a communist revolution in New York.
New Yorkers are VOTING them into office.

Revolutions are so "old school". Plus, they are messy and unnecessarily violent.

The smart socialists and Progressives long ago figured out that you can get people to vote for their own enslavement by promising them endless freebies paid for by the people they have been taught to hate.

And finally, when the free stuff runs out, as it always must, the top comes down. On them.

"progressive" is newspeak for "hardline communist"

If a political party does not have its foundation in the determination to advance a cause that is right and that is moral, then it is not a political party; it is merely a conspiracy to seize power.     -Dwight Eisenhower-

"The [U.S.] Constitution is a limitation on the government, not on private individuals ... it does not prescribe the conduct of private individuals, only the conduct of the government ... it is not a charter for government power, but a charter of the citizen's protection against the government."     -Ayn Rand-
