Are there numbers on what she spent/raised? The ones on open secrets say her total was only 300k, hard to believe that.

only figures I could pull up on a whim:
73% of Ocasio-Cortez's donations were "small," or under https://twitter.com/alexkotch/status/101103964570084966500. Just 1.7% of Crowley's donations were under https://twitter.com/alexkotch/status/101103964570084966500.Wow. pic.twitter.com/TINq26AG97— Alex Kotch 🔥 (@alexkotch) June 25, 2018

ah hell, that wasn't the one I meant to share. Anyway, pretty sure the ~300k figure is accurate.

Xpost Sir, I believe Fred (ultimately) endorsed her so this is a unifying moment tragically undercut by you. You can make it up by ranking your favorite Alan Dwan blu-rays however.

I'm going to show you just who @Ocasio2018, Justice Democrats, and DSA beat tonight. it isn't @JoeCrowleyNY. It's the most powerful people in America.

If Crowley loses Andrew Cuomo and New York Democrats will respond with a two-pronged approach: a) single-payer is a good idea now and b) voter ID law but the only acceptable ID is an NYPD parking placard— Official Centrism (@pareene) June 27, 2018

Guys listen, I have some important post mortem analysis. First of all, this just proves that the so called Bernie wing is not ready for prime time. All that reliance on viral videos with no on the ground organization. Really, I like her and I hope she wins but this is not how you run a campaign. Welcome to the big leagues hon.

just in case any of you have been thinking about running for office
This photo is from Nov. 14, 2017. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, 28, was then working as a bartender.Less than a year later, she defeated the likely next Speaker of the House, and will almost certainly be the youngest woman ever elected to Congress pic.twitter.com/JgHjdQWAF6— Jeff Stein (@JStein_WaPo) June 27, 2018

Wow! Big Trump Hater Congressman Joe Crowley, who many expected was going to take Nancy Pelosi’s place, just LOST his primary election. In other words, he’s out!

More than anything I think that tonight was a clear rebuke to Fred B’s persistent mansplaining.

exit polls have been reporting that Fred B's hot takes were a major issue for voters in several of these races, though i think we should wait til all the votes are tallied before we try to break that down by demographics

I feel like trying to downplay Fred’s contributions to the victory tonight runs counter to what a lot of us on Team Ocasio fought for. Tonight is about looking forward. And on the subject of looking forward....
