The Democrats better not try to undermine her. She won, get over it. Stop serving rich assholes and serve the people already.
- he already lives outside New York, which is a major reason why he lost the primary
- what is "what I honestly believe to be election fraud" supposed to mean? Yes, it's dumb that it's required to get off the ballot, but other candidates have done so before without being prosecuted; surely it's perfectly legal?
He isn't running against her. She was wrong, she never should have made her Tweet.The Democrats better not try to undermine her. She won, get over it. Stop serving rich assholes and serve the people already.
Seriously. The problem is NY's stupid laws and NY's stupid subparties and the dumb reckless tweet is blowing up a non-story because the campaigns won't just talk to each other.This is kind of hilarious. Dude doesn't want to do anything unethical, like register to vote in a state he doesn't live in or run for a seat he doesn't want, and is getting shit for it. NY election law can be dumb sometimes.
It looks absolutely nothing like this at all. He isn't running. He's endorsed her.Gotta say, this looks a lot like Crowely is taking advantage of a dumb ballot system to force Ocasio to spend more money on her own campaign instead of help other DSA members with theirs.
He literally endorsed her and has done nothing to indicate he's actually going to run against her.Gotta say, this looks a lot like Crowely is taking advantage of a dumb ballot system to force Ocasio to spend more money on her own campaign instead of help other DSA members with theirs.
No it doesn't.Gotta say, this looks a lot like Crowely is taking advantage of a dumb ballot system to force Ocasio to spend more money on her own campaign instead of help other DSA members with theirs.

There's no conspiracy here. None. Stop looking for an angle where there isn't one. This is a result of dumb NYS ballot laws.
Because he doesn't actually live there?Sounds like he could easily get himself off the ballot by regestering to vote in VA. Why wouldn't he do that to support the candidate he endorsed. I'm not saying there is a conspiracy here for sure but it looks suspicious.
Why should he invalidate his vote by registering to vote in a state he doesn't really live in?Sounds like he could easily get himself off the ballot by regestering to vote in VA. Why wouldn't he do that to support the candidate he endorsed. I'm not saying there is a conspiracy here for sure but it looks suspicious.
He could make himself an easy target for a Trump arrest over a high profile democrat committing voter fraud but he refuses.

Yeah because Democratic Socialism is the same as Stalinist Russia. How does it feel to be this reactionary? Must be sad.Her ideas are straight from Marx. They resulted in the poverty and ultimately death of millions of people in the last hundred years. They've never worked and it won't work today. I'm sad for our country and New York.
WTF at those yt comments

there is no actual basis for his claim that he couldn't get off the ballot without committing election fraud. Other Dems have done exactly what WFP has asked him to do before with no issue.
Why should he invalidate his vote by registering to vote in a state he doesn't really live in?
Why is voter disenfranchisement expected, and if he doesn't want to do that, it's "suspicious"
The candidate he's endorsing and the WFP are calling on him to do this and he hasn't given a good answer as to why not.
Lol fuck off with that

Being asked to disenfranchise yourself or register a fake campaign are not fair asks of Crowley.The candidate he's endorsing and the WFP are calling on him to do this and he hasn't given a good answer as to why not.

Yeah, the disenfranchisement alone would be enough, I would think :\Maybe because registering in VA instead of his declared home of NY is technically election fraud or at least invalidates his vote this year?
Not everything is a street fight. Sometimes misunderstandings happen.Only one person it to blame for this drama, and it's the person who decided to start twitter beef and falsely accuse a previous opponent for running third party.
it's always telling how certain people invariably assume good faith from any establishment-aligned Democrat but will never, ever do the same for a leftist
It looks suspicious to people who need drama to feel alive. This cult of personality around politicians is super ugly. Not every political neophyte's Twitter hot-take needs its own cheering section. Sometimes people we like and respect make mistakes. Sometimes those people are embarrassed about those mistakes, sometimes they aren't.
Being asked to disenfranchise yourself or register a fake campaign are not fair asks of Crowley.
What part of having him register to vote in a state he only resided in out of job necessity is reasonable? Or having him run for office in a place he doesn't actually live?
What the hell are you even talking about? This has nothing to do with drama and hot takes. The guy refuses to remove himself from the ballot after the candidate he endorsed and the WFP asked him to. Trying to discredit me as a reactionary is pretty low dude.

Eh I don't know man. Seems like a quick and easy way to fix this stupid problem. I'm gonna dip out on this though cause getting dog piled is annoying and I don't feel like this conversation's making any progress.
You seem incapable of actually viewing this through Crowley's perspective instead of your own. Neither option is a "quick and easy" fix. You're getting dogpiled because your view doesn't reflect reality.Eh I don't know man. Seems like a quick and easy way to fix this stupid problem.

Crowley voted more leftist then 95+% of Congress on average.
So unless you are saying Warren and Bernie Sanders also arent leftist.
if one goes by ProgressivePunch scores, Crowley is only the 77th most progressive Democrat in the House, but okay

Working Families Party of New York Director Bill Lipton was not satisfied with that answer.
"It is disappointing that Crowley has refused to vacate the Working Families Party ballot line," Lipton said in a statement. "The only remaining way for Crowley to do the right thing is to switch his residency to Virginia, where his family resides and his children already go to school. It would fix the problem he created in an instant."
Depends on what you mean by leftist. Some think a lefist is someone who is anywhere on the left side of the spectrum or it's just a synonym for liberal. Others thinks a leftist is someone who wants to get rid of capitalism. I usually see the latter definition and I use that myself.
And in the next sentence, I say that I usually see the latter. I like making the distinction between liberals and socialists/communists/anarchists, but I don't like typing out all of those words and just substitute it with leftists. It's a nice catch-all term for a group that has a clear and substantially different goal from liberals.99% of people who use the term "leftists" are not describing a communist, so that's a pretty insane working definition.
No kidding. Those same types would 100% be up in arms if the exact same situation was reversed, and I'd be with them.it's always telling how certain people invariably assume good faith from any establishment-aligned Democrat but will never, ever do the same for a leftist
Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez's surprise primary victory over Rep. Joe Crowley seems likely to hurt Congress, America and the Democratic Party. It doesn't have to.
Because the policies Ms. Ocasio-Cortez advocates are so far from the mainstream, her election in November would make it harder for Congress to stop fighting and start fixing problems.
