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!

JEALOUSSSSSSSSS

yes!

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

I mean tbf I was also extremely doubtful anything good could ever happen

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

just saw the news! fuck yes

This is the kind of stuff that reminds me the US can also be a fantastic country.

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....

This was kinda sweet. He’s not bad either, and he plays a guild.

Now @JoeCrowleyNY is playing guitar. He dedicated the first song to @Ocasio2018 — “Born to Run”

Losing really takes the edge of losing

meanwhile, in Colorado

Congrats to my friend—and the lone Democratic member of the @libertycaucus—@jaredpolis on his big primary win for governor of Colorado!

— Justin Amash (@justinamash) June 27, 2018

Congrats to Slate and NY Times on making the news headlines about Crowley losing and not Ocasio-Cortez winning.

Self-defeating morons.

Considering the NYT didn't once cover her campaign, no surprise.

Love how the usual suspects in this thread are relentlessly sticking to their “and this is why it doesn’t matter” shit

Emily Sirota winning in CO too, very good night!

so excited about ocasio cortez

this country's going so far to the left you're not going to recognize it

congratulations house minority leader Steny Hoyer

This video of @Ocasio2018 seeing the election results live on NY1 is wonderful. And nice @DemSocialists t-shirt in the background. Thank you @nycdsa for helping to make this happen!!! pic.twitter.com/GRNYY0GlZv

Steny Hoyer’s still around?!

thread to Dems

Here’s what I saw in @Ocasio2018’s campaign—and get ready for some complicated inside baseball now: she talked to poor people and oriented her campaign toward the issues they care about. pic.twitter.com/ZXoodWe8Hy
