It's almost like you can be friends or just amicable with someone while thinking their political opinions are worse than they could be and criticizing them-- especially when you're both politicians fighting for your constituents. Or supposed to be anyway...Ocasio-Cortez is an enigma to most House Democrats. She's very friendly in person, chatting up fellow lawmakers and security workers in the Capitol as she's tailed by admirers and reporters.
Then they see the Ocasio-Cortez on Twitter, where she frequently snaps at critics and occasionally at fellow Democrats.

Also, these dinosaurs have no idea how the internet works if they think she must be behind a campaign that's entirely grassroots. People do this all the time over less-important, non-political things without official backing.
This is all supposing the anonymous tipsters are actual congresspeople or have ears in Congress and being truthful, not liars or made up.
All it will do is reinforce people like her to primary comfortable Democrats.Shes going to double down and work herself into obscurity. Shes already been denied a seat on the finance committee.
When both left and right accuse Politico of running biased hit pieces, you know they're doing something right.

They don't like it only because it scares them and that's great. If any Dems are worried she may embolden someone to primary them they ought to look at their policies and course correct sooner rather than later."we like you AOC, youre marketable, but we don't like your entire point and everything you stand for"

She hasn't really overstepped her bounds in terms of calling out Dems. I think most of her commentary and policy proposals have been in line with respecting the party as a whole. She isn't tone deaf in what she says.
When you're equating Republicans complaining about a site because it leans left and Democrats calling into question this story about AOC because from a site that had previously printed a story that was literally false, as confirmed by ACO herself, then yeah, you might want to reexamine how you evaluate what reporting should be.That's sweet of you. You're suggesting I'm stupid for thinking both sides of the aisle have major problems? I'm all for AOC beating up her own side. The whole system needs a flush.
She's interrupting the gravy train. Can't have that.These are weak lames who have spent years coasting. Now they're mad that they're actually being challenged to do their damn jobs or get out of the way.
Fuck em.

Bingo. Those loud Dems that are starting shit are being told to do so from their string holders.

100%. Fuck these democrats just getting a paycheck and "doing things the way they should be done". Get up and fight. Every single one of them can be a voice and they all sit on their old white asses. They should all be tweeting like AOC. They should all be putting Republicans feet to the fire.These are weak lames who have spent years coasting. Now they're mad that they're actually being challenged to do their damn jobs or get out of the way.
Fuck em.
is not actually an effective attack against an opponent.
exactly. Fuck em.

The DNC is incompetent and disconnected. They have learned nothing.

i don't agree that democrats who want to water down policies on things like climate change and healthcare are alliesA little in party fighting is OK. I think everyone should try to not divide the party with constant wedge issues. You see eye to eye on 95% of things, great, don't focus on that 5% difference all the time. The goal is not to divide the party so it can be exploited in 2020.
"There's a difference between being an activist and a lawmaker in Congress."
Was that the DNC or people fedup with Trump?Yeah, they only just won 40+ seats in a midterm.
FFS some of these responses are hilarious.
