Just by memory here: having more income and better education leads women to perform more family planning, leading to less waste, use of resources and less pollution.
Umm, yeah. “Debatable” would be my most generous description of that.
She’s working against the party in the most concrete way possible while still technically staying part of the party. She is in direct opposition with the Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee. She is not having a debate. She is throwing money into campaigns that should already be won and forcing the party to use funds in races it shouldn’t have to spend money on. Rather than concentrating on defeating Trump and getting his opponent a majority she is using her PAC to go after democrats she doesn’t like. How is that not working against the Democratic Party?
In what sense? If they’ve pro forma supported the incumbent, so what? And if they’ve given more than pro forma support to Dems in safe seats that vote with the R’s a good deal of the time, against challengers who would do no such thing, that would be the DCCC’s betrayal of the party, not hers.
I’m not having a debate when I contribute to one of the Dem candidates for the Presidential nomination either, but I’m supporting one side of that debate, and helping to ensure that my position in that debate is represented. Not sure how what AOC is doing, per your description, differs.
Huh? In the two Congressional races I’m familiar with, the Dem nominee is going to win; the only question is which one.
If the party’s throwing money at trying to make that decision itself rather than leaving it to the candidates and the voters, that’s their bad.
I still don’t see any daylight between this and “incumbent Dems shouldn’t be primaried.”
You need to explain what daylight YOU see between your position and my description of it, if you feel it’s inaccurate.
Working against the DCCC is not the same as working against the Democratic Party.
Democratic candidates are all supposed to run unapposed in the primaries now?
Good government?
You are really out of touch.
They are scared. But the idea of business as usual may have been completely incinerated now for us. You may not be able to go back to what you envision as eden. If not are you going to blame liberals, like you blame them for everything else? What checks and balances are making you feel confident about back to basics good govt?
Is she using the money and power of her PAC to fight republicans or to fight democrats?
You could say the same things about the guys, like Cuellar, that she’s opposing. They very frequently use their resources to help Trump and the Republicans. So far AOC is opposing the Democrats in safe blue districts who help Trump.
Is she using her money to help Republicans, or to help Democrats?
Democracy.
Extreme left liberals are certainly not helping the situation.
In what way was Joe Crowley insufficiently representing his district? He is a progressive Democrat by almost every measure. Why was he targetted?
The tea party was full of energetic people too. They ran the most conservative person they could find in every safe red seat. it was not good for the country but a lot of far right conservatives are happy with the results.
Yes. This year, it is.
I’d like to start by beating Trump and then we can have our internecine squabbles afterwards. In what way does Biden depart from “business as usual” In fact, that seems to be the primary gripe coming from the far left. Biden is just an establishment Democrat and not a revolutionary Democrat.
If anyone is gerrymandered out of their district, they can always move.
Was Joe Crowley helping Trump?
Were tea partiers that primaried moderate Republicans helping Republicans or helping Democrats?
I don’t know why you’re so hung up on Crowley. I like AOC better than Crowley, and I’m glad she ran and won. If you want to encourage guys like Crowley to run in safe blue districts, feel free. I’d prefer if safe blue districts had more like AOC and fewer like Crowley.
