(58,785 posts)Imagine the surprised of the complacent and/or feckless 95% who woke up to the news that they'd lost their powerful congressman.
It's fine, one powerful, very capable liberal replaced with a newbie liberal. And other experienced members of the caucus will take over his duties -- except for what he was able to do for his district of course.
KNOWLEDGEABLE and EXPERIENCED are other words for our party leadership. You should realize, this is no more a job for an untrained amateur than being an attorney or accountant is.
Ocasio seems a nice person. Hopefully she'll turn her eyes to the enormous threat from
* right wing white nationalists,
* right wing authoritarians,
* right wing billionaire kleptocrats, and
* right wing Christian dominionists
and get very serious very quickly. She has a huge, huge, huge learning curve ahead of her.
