How many terms will Ocasio Cortez serve until primaried out of Congress?

She’s proven toxic to the Leftists. She’s going to be primaried and defeated quickly.

The Democrats can ill afford someone who honestly spills the beans on their whacky ideas.

A larger number than you probably think or hope.

At this stage AOC could snap her fingers and have a million bucks in $15 increments show up in her and the DNCC's coffers.

She won't get primaried any time soon. Her district loves her. There are tons of insane people out there who actually think the GND is plausible and we can just print the money. She's popular. Some people think she's hot. She's harmless as a congress member. The people she makes look bad won't move against her.

I hope she sticks around.

I LOVE The Westchester Barista.

She’s like Joe Biden with even less brains... if that’s possible.

It’s likely her district will exist no more in the coming election. It’s getting redrawn.

I know I don't want her going anywhere! She makes me smile.

I just wish her crazy wish list hadn't exposed quite so many people who have no idea how money works. I gave up arguing when I realized reality has no place in the GND

I hope she stays, she seems to have generated more threads in this forum for a freshman member of Congress than anyone else that I can recall since being here at DP.

So, would she be paying the 70% tax she wants on the rich? or would that be the typical "not me, them".

No telling how long she will remain. We've got a full blown con man in the WH so we have entered the Crazy Town Era of the USA where anything goes.

I have to admit, this does seem to be the Trump Principle in action (but without the rampant crime, scams, lies, bigotry, xenophobism and conspiracy with a hostile foreign power).

I don't know. It'll be up to her Party. But I suspect she won't be there more than one term.

It seems there already are people in her Party who want her gone...and she knows it.

REP. ALEXANDRIA OCASIO-CORTEZ is prepared for the possibility that Democrats in New York could redraw her district after the 2020 election, she told The Intercept in an interview.

Following the 2020 census, every state will draw new district boundaries to reflect changes in the population, the political implications of which will stretch for at least the next decade. In 2014, New York approved a constitutional amendment establishing a nonpartisan redistricting commission, which is set to take over the redistricting process starting in 2020. The 10-member commission, meant to be independent from the legislature, is made up of individuals selected by leaders from the state Senate and Assembly, and the original eight members pick two additional members.

But Ocasio-Cortez’s most determined adversaries are not partisan Republicans, but Democrats who say that she has been a disruptive influence. The Hill recently reported that at least one member of Congress has been urging New York party leaders to recruit a Democratic primary challenger to Ocasio-Cortez. But the news led to a surge of donations to Ocasio-Cortez, suggesting that a more efficient means of ousting her might be simply to eliminate her district.

Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-N.Y.) has infuriated colleagues by aligning with a progressive outside group that’s threatening to primary entrenched Democrats. Now some of those lawmakers are turning the tables on her and are discussing recruiting a primary challenger to run against the social media sensation.

At least one House Democrat has been privately urging members of the New York delegation to recruit a local politician from the Bronx or Queens to challenge Ocasio-Cortez.

“What I have recommended to the New York delegation is that you find her a primary opponent and make her a one-term congressperson,” the Democratic lawmaker, who requested anonymity, told The Hill. “You’ve got numerous council people and state legislators who’ve been waiting 20 years for that seat. I’m sure they can find numerous people who want that seat in that district.”

Some Dems float idea of primary challenge for Ocasio-Cortez | TheHill

The more she screws things up, the more likely the Democratic Party will kick her to the curb.

She is toxic to career democrats, the neocon centrists.

She is not toxic to progressives or liberals.

Her screw up is honestly vomiting the Leftist agenda.

She only needs to serve one term, after that she is set up for life rent free in your head. :lamo

It’s like the wingnuts are having a competiton amongst themselves to see who can post the most about AOC. These freaks are obsessed with her.

Yet another AOC thread. Cha-ching! :mrgreen:

All of that’s to be decided by her constituents. As far as I know they’re fine with her. She’s practically a rock star with the mainstream press.

I didn't vote because who knows? Are the majority of her constituents as ignorant and of a socialist mindset as she is then she could be around for years. All I know right now is every time AOC opens her mouth it is solid gold for the GOP. She is the yellow highlighter that is on just how radical a good number in the Democratic party have become. And she is the one that is making Howard Shultz running as an Independent look real good to many as a viable possibility as someone Democrats could vote for.

IMHO, Cortez has a few bricks missing from her building and some of her policy ideas are indeed idiotic.

Still, the more the right tries the "She's for open borders and killing babies!" the more powerful she and Democrats in her fold become.

The rules in politics no longer matter. What matters is the ability to be liked and to be perceived as someone that will fight hard and drive the opposition crazy.

She's inexperienced. She did the right thing by starting out in a lower office (instead of taking a swing at the Presidency in spite of her total lack of government experience). We'll see if her wisdom in process comes to match her zeal. She's smart so I expect so.

That's right, keep calling her a communist-fascist-baby killing-open border- feminazi- radical, because that tactic worked soooo well for Republicans in purple districts the last election.

You might just talk yourself into the nightmare we live in with Trump, only the other way around.
