Dems push AOC to primary Schumer, furious over his support of Republican spending bill: report
Furious Democrats are pushing “Squad” Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-NY) to primary Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer (D-NY) after he agreed to vote with Republicans to avoid a government shutdown, according to reports.

Progressives see Schumer’s sudden decision to support the legislation, which would fund the government through September, as “surrendering” to Republicans and as a “huge slap in the face” to them. It is leading many to encourage AOC to run for his seat in 2028, according to reports.

Democrats convening for a retreat in Virginia this week are “so mad” that they are “ready to write checks for AOC for Senate,” one House Democrat told CNN.
 
In an interview with the outlet on Thursday, Ocasio-Cortez, 35, did not answer a question about challenging Schumer, and instead said, “I think what we need right now is a united Senate Democratic Caucus that can stand up for this country and not vote for cloture and not vote for this bill.”

Anyone who had doubts about the democrats being in deep, serious political trouble should no longer doubt it if this is true.  I can think of nothing more mind numbing than a power struggle between AOC and Chuckie. 000222

If the All-Out-Communist starts gaining any traction with this, watch for Chuck the Schmuck to announce his retirement when this term is up...

AOC replacing Schumer would be a disaster.  Her definition of 'reality' is far different than most.  She's about as far left of center and about as much of a mental midget as they come.
Live in  harmony with one another; do not be haughty, but associate with the lowly, do not claim to be wiser than you are.  Do not repay anyone evil for evil, but take thought for what is noble in the sight of all.  If it is possible, so far as it depends on you, live peaceably with all.

Just doubling down on why they lost... Keep up the good work...

  • The problem with everything is they try and make it better without realizing the old way is fine.

Chuck is done. His goose is cooked,   Let AOC take his place.
You don’t become cooler with age but you do care progressively less about being cool, which is the only true way to actually be cool.

Chuckie is a slimeball but AOC is just off her rocker.
