Ocasio-Cortez to endorse Sanders for president
https://thehill.com/homenews/campaign/466007-ocasio-cortez-to-endorse-sanders-for-president-report
Quote: |
Sanders, who has been struggling to keep pace in the polls with former Vice President Joe Biden and Sen. Elizabeth Warren (D-Mass.), had announced during Tuesday night's Democratic debate in Ohio that a special guest would join him at a rally in the New York City borough of Queens on Saturday.
Ocasio-Cortez, who was a volunteer organizer for Sanders's 2016 presidential campaign, has been one of the most influential figures among progressives since she defeated former Rep. Joseph Crowley (D-N.Y.) in a 2018 primary.
Her endorsement could deal a blow to Warren, who is competing with Sanders for the liberal wing of the party's base. |

....orrr....it could HELP Elizabeth in the long run, winning over the multitudes who think she and Bernie are tied for title of "Too Far Out There", if they're thinking, "Oh....AOC likes Bernie, so Liz must be a bit more moderate." Who knows how things like this might finally play out in the minds of The Masses (See: Trumpettes, as an example). I personally love Elizabeth AND Bernie, way more than Joe.

Really wish people would stop giving Bernie credit for stuff other people did
That being said - really tough week for Liz. AOC’s endorsement was going to go to one of the two. Given this and the debate performance..interested in seeing if Liz’ popularity takes a hit.

AOC on sudden fame.

Interesting view of her job. Most of our elected 'leaders' only love themselves.

Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez slammed 2020 Democratic presidential hopeful Tulsi Gabbard for being the only House Democrat to vote “present” on impeachment articles against President Trump and refusing to take a stand.
“Today was very consequential, and to not take a stand one way or another, on a day of such great consequence to this country, I think is quite difficult,” Ocasio-Cortez told reporters after the historic vote Wednesday, adding, “We are sent here to lead.” |

They just keep embarrassing themselves.
Quote: |
Ocasio-Cortez spoke briefly to reporters outside the Capitol after the impeachment votes as she held her green voting cards she had just used to vote ‘yes’ on the two articles of impeachment against Trump.
The New York Democrat was greeted by well-wishers wanting photos Wednesday night, but she quickly had to bolt to an awaiting car when a couple of Trump supporters started screaming at her. The men in red caps briefly tussled with her supporters and yelled: “Shame on you, AOC,” and, “You are a traitor to this country!” |

AOC has Already Changed D.C., it Hasn't Changed Her
Quote: |
House leadership sees the past summer as having been a turning point and believes that Ocasio-Cortez is now sufficiently chastened. She’s showed up for the job she was elected to do — coming prepared to committee meetings and hearings (like when she cornered Mark Zuckerberg on running misleading ads on Facebook), sponsoring 15 pieces of legislation (most notably the Green New Deal), and missing only two of 701 roll-call votes. I spoke with dozens of House and New York City governmental officials, some of whom disagree with her politics and have reason to dislike her personally, and they all said that she shows up to meetings unusually attentive, taking notes and asking detailed questions and writing personal follow-up emails. That even in House caucus meetings, as members call one another “Congressman this” or “Congresswoman that” but casually call her “Alexandria,” she gets to know her ideological enemies’ home lives and interests. |
Quote: |
Late last month, Politico reported that some political operators are already speculating that Ocasio-Cortez will run for president in 2024 or 2028, and it has been a topic of conversation among her advisers as well. After decennial redistricting in 2020, Ocasio-Cortez could find herself drawn into the district of a neighboring member of Congress, where the young agitator’s odds would suffer. People close to her discussed a possible run for mayor of New York in 2021 but decided against it; a statewide run, probably for the Senate, is likelier. That would mean challenging Chuck Schumer in 2022 or Kirsten Gillibrand in 2024. |

Businessman who challenged AOC to debate him on union law agrees to settle with Labor Board for violations

Last August, Dave Portnoy, the founder of the blog Barstool Sports, got into an internet feud with Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-NY) after she pointed out to him that his online threats to fire “on the spot” any employee who speaks with a union organizer were against federal labor law. Unfortunately for Portnoy, it appears that the National Labor Relations Board agreed with Ocasio-Cortez. |
