Democratic (Party) Direction

And it IS disappointing for Dromm to endorse Crowley btw.

You think canvassers have time ON ELECTION DAY to stand around with a camera in the shadows when they've been up since 4.30? Jesus. If they have so much free time why do you think they got up so early to begin with?

lol

is the essential pointless weirdness of a danish hobbyist holding forth on NYC parochial politics supposed to just sit in this thread unaddressed ok cool

This discussion was begun by noted NYC native Simon H, lol.

Xxxpost well NYC parochial politics and this one congressional race dominating the dem party thread to this degree is arguably as weird.

So you've never done GOTV work then and are utterly fucking clueless, thanks for clearing that up Fred.

NP, if you don't get why this race has, if nothing else, immense symbolic value (not only due to the candidates but also the timing) to a lot of people - not just yr Greenwald types - I don't know what to tell you

also, settling for "perfectly fine" reps in "safe" districts has helped create the present shitstorm

XPost That’s fine I get that but I rank both this and the New York governor’s race beneath the imperative to win back congress in the midterms and pick up senate seats.

I mean, this is TODAY and the Nixon race involves a celebrity who (correctly) called ICE a terrorist organization, do you really expect not to hear lots about them

speaking of which, it's looking like she pulled it off

Ocasio-Cortez leads Crowley 58-41 with just over half of precincts reporting https://t.co/3xq0NHfE2r

Right now, Ocasio-Cortez is LEADING in Queens County — where Crowley is the chairman of the Democratic Party pic.twitter.com/w7CPiw4Kw7

Omfg

Woah this pretty cool. Seriously

he spent 3 million bucks lol

a national Democratic strategist told me one week ago that #NY14 was considered "not at all as a competitive primary race."

awesome

let's celebrate this watershed moment by banning Fred

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

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.

AP calls it.

i believe that endorsement made the difference xp

Wonder how Cuomo's feeling tonight

Steve Kornacki: one of the all-time great primary shockers

"I am a Latina outsider" - Prince Andy tomorrow

looool

sorry to spam but look at this picture

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. Here are Crowley donors Sheryl Sandberg, Sean Parker, Google NET Pac, and Facebook's PAC. pic.twitter.com/tqkKYhqSLm

Aww

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

Sean McElwee feeling extra good tonight (peep the date)

I'm going to be roasted endlessly for this, but I don't care: if the Democratic Party has a Cantor moment, it will occur in NY-14.

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.

yesssssssssss this is one small spot of really nice news in an overall horrific week for bad news

Lol garbled the tenses in that one and kind of fucked up the satire. Anyway,

Woooooooooooooo!!!

gg

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

So dope

p cool imo

I’ve tweeted too much for that xp to Simon

I set my tweets to auto-delete after a few weeks just in case lol

Not to toot my own horn but I was the first to post about her here. It’s more than just a “big night for me” or whatever. I realize that.

loooool

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! That is a big one that nobody saw happening. Perhaps he should have been nicer, and more respectful, to his President!

cuomo gonna go all in and start doing public appearances dressed in fatigues and a black balaclava, smoking a pipe
