The moves have drawn surprise praise from some moderate and veteran Democrats.
"There are some people on the left who thought that their views represented a strong majority, and the primary process has shown that voters diverged, that Sanders is winning a minority and smaller minority than he had four years ago,” Tanden said. Of course, it's easier to endorse a primary challenger as an outsider than as an incumbent working with the people she'd be trying to remove. Some of the campaigns for incumbent challengers said they understood that dynamic but still hoped that things might be different.
Justice Democrats aides said Ocasio-Cortez remains the most anti-establishment Democrat in Congress. They pointed to fundraising and advocacy work she has already done for Cisneros and Newman. Cisneros lost her race, while Newman won.
🙄shes still a Marxist🤷♀️
Absolutely nothing wrong with working from within the system ESPECIALLY when we are facing the current situation
My heroes have always been disrupters.
Her theatrics in the House last week don't agree with this reporting!
She is awesome 👏 😎
She would get my vote
Really people in her state need to rethink what they have done ! Rethink, and remove her from office !! No I’m not racist , just Honest she is terrible for this country !
Acquiring experience and maturing. 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
AOC's increasing moderation will, in concert with her intelligence and experience, make her a growing force in the Democratic Party and in Congress - with broader power and influence than she would have as a nails-on-a-blackboard liberal screech owl.
Eventually they all do
I am glad to hear this. I think AOC could be a real asset if she works within the Congress vs against it. Keep it up AOC.
Throw her ass out 1 termer
Noticeable positive changes in AOC’s behavior since Speaker Pelosi had a heart-to-heart conversation with her a few months ago.
When your on the outs. Trying to make it look like she working for her constituents
It’s amazing to see what an election year can do. She knows her future is soon to go back and attend tables - allegedly, the one thing she could do well. AOC is an idiot 100% and America democracy will fix the mistake called the squad
That’s...how government works?
She gets it!!
AOC has been great but she has learned that acting like Bernie gets you nowhere.
I got tired of her
Nancy is AOC's lap dog.
Maybe I think AOC is working within the lines to understand who is the friend or foe. Catch more flies with honey...
Unable to defeat AOC with hatred, media turn to calling her a traitor
She is a hot mess.
She is a loser and needs to be replaced!
She’s a kook
Please vote this jerk out of office. She is no good for this country
She figured out she can get rich in this job...if ONLY she says in her lane...
She’s maturing; when you’re young, you’re passionate & very self aware. Nothing is impossible & compromise is weakness: With maturity comes reality that true progress requires compromise & building alliances. Burn it down, burns one down. A mirror of Hillary Clinton then
Learning that a mountain can neither be brought down by the wind pr river overnight, she begins to act like a member of congress. No reason to think she cant ask pointed and intellgent questions still, but when dems MUST unite or die against trump she unites with middle vs left.
Bull shit
Bernie is Dunzo. supporters just refuse to accept the harsh reality of losing twice.
It's called growth.
She is an intelligent person, young, idealistic and determined... Growth and how to navigate the territories of Congress will come over time.
Alternate headline: AOC realizes she has to win an election in November
She’s aging fast
She's going to take after Warren, Porter, Pressley, Haaland... This is a great development.
she be like
Long live independent thought! She's smart enough to not to fall in line with all-or-nothing thinking. Coalitions, not cults and purity tests, will be what transforms a vision into tangible results.
may be she was poor that is why she has got a grudge about unequal society She thinks a minority could push their agenda
She was clearly warned she walked right off the Bernie plank, I have to time or energy to spare for such foolishness.
Newly elected, full of piss & vinegar, change the world overnight. Reality sets in 😐
Bullshit.
Shouldn't this be clearly labeled as an 'Opinion' piece?
she came to serve and get things done - true in the beginning - true now
I have been impressed with AOC’s willingness to work with others in order to accomplish real change Sign of a real leader
Congress is about working together to get things done, NOT creating a squad of four. It takes Senators working together to pass important legislation for the American people. Hopefully, AOC will be replaced in upcoming race.
I woudl have to disagree. Just last week she was flapping her arms liek a bird on the chamber floor.
You noticed this too...
Bernie is done when he finally drops out. Back to getting nothing done in the senate for him. His political instincts are atrocious.
Consent: manufactured
Oh well, another hero unmasked.
It's a losing battle and she knows it. There are plenty in there that hold true power; which she doesn't have. Coming across as an extremist can backfire if you have no allies.
Oca$io-Cortez
After her passionate, “can we please not burn the world down” phase you clearly meant to write.
Good.
GFY, Politico.
Bernie who.....2 Pathetic souls, they’re getting what they wanted nobody working!!!
How many votes did she get to win the seat incontestable ?it says a lot
lies soooo fucking much!
Trying to make real change within the system is the best way to go. Absent that philosophy, you will never get anywhere.
I love Bernie, but if he spent the last 4 years making friends, he would be winning. AOC can walk with the centrists and chew gum at the same time.
long career ahead. it takes time to come into it and understand the rules, environment, learn and meet people and effective management. RepAOC AOC is a born leader. she could be another Schiff, Schumer, Magnuson, Scoop J, Pelosi-- up to her, just not a heel to a crank.
Keep your eye on this lady, in the future great things maybe in the works for this young lady. I look forward watching her and see how she will impact the House. The woman has a lot going for her for sure.
And tantrums, don’t forget tantrums.
Disruption against corruption. If it’s corrupt why not knock it down and build a new one? Our government is condemned! Eventually a democratic socialist is gonna weaken. But not a communist. We believe the same thing but we drop hammers. We don’t negotiate with fascists.🔥
She is a smart cookie
She was a puppet of her Chief of Staff and needs another svengali.
Give her a break! Everyone who starts a new job makes mistakes and sometimes are more outspoken then others...she's young and got caught up with her idealism...she'll learn and be wiser.
And Politico lives of the status quo, want to keep all things as they are, until all the wheels come off.
