In reply to the discussion: AOC has something to say about her older House colleagues [View all]Celerity
(43,402 posts)As far as I remember, the rest of the Democrats she supported in the primaries were running for open or Republican held seats.
In Kansas-03, in a Republican-held district (Yoder was a Republican incumbent) she campaign for Welder, but he lost to Davids, who campaigned as a progressive too. Within weeks of winning in the general, 'progressive' Davids joined up with the Blue Dog-type New Democrat Coalition (the same centrist, bi-partisan-leaning group that has common cause with No Labels/Problems Solvers and also has many of the anti-Pelosi people, as well as being pro-Wall Street (they helped gut parts of Dodd-Frank this year) as well as being pro-big pharma, etc.
AOC backed James Thompson in Kansas-04. That was a Republican-held seat. Thompson won the primary, but lost to Estes, the Repug.
In the Michigan governor race, she campaigned for El-Sayed against Whitmer, in an open race. Whitmer won. (Snyder the Rethug couldn't run for re-election due to term limits).
Finally, she campaigned for Rashida Tlaib, who ran to fill John Conyers old seat. Tlaib won the general election primary and then the seat in November.
So 'all the incumbent Dems she went after during the primaries' that you stated was a gross exaggeration. Unless you have some list of people I am forgetting.
