Democrats can kiss swing voters goodbye with progressive ballot

On Tuesday, the upstairs-downstairs politics of the Democrats convulsed. New York Democrats elected Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez and sent Joe Crowley, the fourth most powerful Democrat in the House, to his early retirement. The demographic fault lines of the Democratic Party are once again on display. This time, their donor class worries as intersectionality, in all of its aggrieved glory, occupies the national stage.

Let us be clear that Ocasio-Cortez is an unvarnished leftist. Think of Jeremy Corbyn and Bernie Sanders, just younger and ungrizzled. Socialism is her badge of honor. When she claims that Hamas is simply a Palestinian analog to the Ferguson protests, take her conviction as a given. You can also place a good bet that come 2020, Ocasio-Cortez will be the keynote speaker at the Democratic National Convention.


The pupil is about to become the teacher, and that should could as no surprise. While Democratic leadership in Congress is predominately old and white, their core voters are anything but. In 2016, minorities made up nearly 45 percent of votes for Hillary Clinton.

Here is the problem, no one knows who she is. What is going to matter is the local Democrat running for Congress. They are not progressives.

Isn't it good that there will be a clear difference between the parties?

It means they're gonna lose, which means no House takeover and probably more Republican seats in the Senate.
