...upsets the cranky-pants demographic of the party.

Without even trying.

People sure do love to get riled up over her mere existence, let alone a simple, factual observation. Er, I mean her ATTACK!!1!

Seems to me she's ruffling all the right feathers. Something I can definitely support.

If I were to vote in a presidential
primary today, I would vote for: Joe Biden

nothing wrong with bar tending..... getagrip_already Jan 2020 #89

Because she does not know True Blue American Jan 2020 #92

None of that explains why you denigrated bartenders. nt. Mariana Jan 2020 #97

That is her experience. True Blue American Jan 2020 #98

Well if this is true, she just got her own nose out of joint.. she is attacking Peacetrain Jan 2020 #2

Saying she has fundamental disagreements w/ Biden is not an attack. n/t Dennis Donovan Jan 2020 #3

She is suggesting he's not a real Democrat. DemocratSinceBirth Jan 2020 #5

She said they're different Democrats. n/t Dennis Donovan Jan 2020 #14

Which isn't all she said. TwilightZone Jan 2020 #8

There's some willful blindness in this thread. DemocratSinceBirth Jan 2020 #13

"She's the pure one" Wawannabe Jan 2020 #90

++++, she should show some real knowledge, like what Gore R B Garr Jan 2020 #105

It was his party GemDigger Jan 2020 #19

Whose party will it be in 10 years or 20 or 30? LonePirate Jan 2020 #43

If the party goes that far left it will destroy itself. Dems are more moderate than one thinks Thekaspervote Jan 2020 #57

Thank you. Some here must be thrown off by those 'arabic numbers' empedocles Jan 2020 #110

She seems to want instant gratification. GemDigger Jan 2020 #61

It won't be her party...I doubt she is still serving. Demsrule86 Jan 2020 #67

I'm confident we will still be a liberal party in 20 or 30 years. The Valley Below Jan 2020 #93

LonePirate, we're the nation's LIBERAL party. If anything happened Hortensis Jan 2020 #104

It seems to me we have three ideologies in this country today. LonePirate Jan 2020 #107

Read this article from Politico: George II Jan 2020 #23

I agree with AOC. True Blue American Jan 2020 #96

I never supported her in the first place. nt Kahuna7 Jan 2020 #4

I did at the very beginning..but her actions quickly changed my mind Thekaspervote Jan 2020 #59

Saying you don't share the same views as another politician is an attack? Autumn Jan 2020 #6

Please see post five. DemocratSinceBirth Jan 2020 #7

She's talking about the Congressional Progressive Caucus. But she's right. If we had more parties Autumn Jan 2020 #27

Legislation starts in the House. DemocratSinceBirth Jan 2020 #36

Why? SergeStorms Jan 2020 #113

If you agree that Biden shouldn't be a Democrat, then yes, that would be an attack. TwilightZone Jan 2020 #12

Joe seems to be of a different era but I would never suggest he's not a real Democrat. DemocratSinceBirth Jan 2020 #15

She has said much more than that: George II Jan 2020 #33

She's sharp. Autumn Jan 2020 #39

She never misses a chance to attack the Democratic Party or it's members... George II Jan 2020 #50

Sorry. I just don't see pointing out where one differs from other people is an attack. Autumn Jan 2020 #56

You should read that Politico article, she said a lot against Biden, Democrats, and the CPC. George II Jan 2020 #60

If what she said hurts your feelings contact her and demand an apology. You know how to contact Autumn Jan 2020 #62

I have contacted her, as have many people in the 14th District (I no longer live in Queens). George II Jan 2020 #68

I'm not too fond of the purity argument, regardless of the source. TwilightZone Jan 2020 #20

I can't realistically answer that question, nothing can make me support her. That's why.... George II Jan 2020 #21

I miss Crowley. NT TidalWave46 Jan 2020 #22

My friends and relatives in the 14th District do, too. George II Jan 2020 #30

I have friends in that district too...and the consensus seems to be she is weak in Demsrule86 Jan 2020 #73

You're being kind. She didn't even have a district office until June, 6 months after taking office. George II Jan 2020 #80

I know...not a good look. And there will be a primary too. Demsrule86 Jan 2020 #82
