The democratic party is certainly shifting left.  However if the current party reflected AOC’s worldview in its entirety, Bernie Sanders would have won the nomination; quite handedly.  He didn't.  Old school traditional workhorse Biden did. 
 

AOC has a lot more power than people realize. She’s is pulling the strings and pushing the party to the extreme left.

I realize it would never happen, but I’ve always wondered what would happen if you went by congressional district, majority winner in that state gets the extra 2 votes.  
 

Now I need to find a 2nd year law student to figure out how that would have affected the results in the last few elections.  

That would be a substantial undertaking that I think might more appropriately left to a reasonably tech savvy older poster.

I was thinking about that a bit today too though. I will see if I know anyone willing to create a database for you.

Either you are lying or have absolutely no grasp on reality. 

Maybe both? 

Maybe you believe she is on the board of directors for antifa?  LMFAO

The only reason she has any power is because the right and Fox put her in the spotlight to scare people.

Edit: and it's still just power over a fringe

I agree that she doesn't have any real power, but disagree that it is a fringe group.  The progressive movement is growing and will have a say with Biden.  Definitely not enough of a say to take over the Democratic Party, but enough to influence decision makers.

You're really not very smart. It's your party that's elevated her. The right-leaning media just reports it.

Since when is reporting what people say lying. One thing about the socialist left-leaning Democrats is they're not hiding who they really are anymore.

Sue's Lube, why wasn't he crushed or demolished?  Or even mutilated?  Maybe he was water gunned?

Obliterated?  Pureed?  Sautéed?  Marinated?

Frickaseed?  

 

You should be behind bars. WTF? Yes, water cannons would be a great option for you.

If she had her way the Somalian death squads would go door to door confiscating guns! She is the ANTI CHRIST!

I wouldn't call her the anti-Christ but I do believe if you gave her the power, she would probably try some fascist gungrab nonsense.

You raise an interesting point. It is disappointing to think any voter stays home because they think the electoral college effectively negates their vote, especially when one considers all the down ballot races.

Sure, your vote for a presidential candidate might not count on a national basis, but please vote and help decide legislative and local races.

I unfortunately might not get out to vote this year. It’s not like much is very contested out in WY, some races are unopposed because there are no democrats running. The real difference out here is the primary election where Republicans battle it out for the spot at a guaranteed win in Nov.

I'm curious how successful she would be in politics if she wasn't young and attractive. 

She may be able to garner votes from the cool kids in NYC, but she won't find any success elsewhere.

I'm with ya. Did a bit of research on it because I vaguely remembered that going down.

She couldn't win in a competitive district. Her district is D+29 and less than 20% white and is 50% Hispanic. She got lucky, she primaried a dude who didn't even campaign lol. He sent a staffer in his place to the debate they scheduled. 

She won the primary by convincing 16K of 700,000 people in the district to show up.

For comparison: Rick Burgum got 68K votes in the ND primary for governor.

Kelly Armstrong got 37K votes in his 2018 primary which I would think is a more appropriate gage than Burgum --> 2018 HoR primary in a non-competitive district.

In 2012 when Cramer won his primary, he got 54K votes while the other guy got 45K votes.

Maybe North Dakota is just super politically engaged....or...next to nobody in the Bronx/Queens even knew there was a primary and some hot little number is pounding the pavement for months and some guys(and gals, not that there is a problem with that) followed her to the ballot box lol.

Would be interesting to see some moderate Rockefeller Republican type run in NYC as a Democrat and mimic her strategy and see if it works. All you need to do is win a primary against someone who is a complacent after decades of being in office and boom...you might win and get a cushy job for a minimum of two years.
