AOC’s war on fellow Democrats likely to eliminate her House seat
[NYPOST] Rep. Alexandria Boom Boom Ocasio-Cortez
Dem represntative from da Bronx in Noo Yawk and leader of the Mean Girl Caucus in Congress. One of the Great Minds of the 21st Century, she is known as much for her innaleck as for her dance moves. She is all in favor of socialism, even though she's fuzzy on the details...
wasn’t just supporting women in announcing a slate of seven House candidates who’ll get cash from her Courage to Change PAC: The key fact is that two of them are challenging incumbents.

Indeed, she and her allies are now targeting several longtime local politicians, on the theory that they’re every bit as much of a problem as Republicans.

"It’s time to elect a progressive majority in Congress accountable to strong, grassroots movements that push support for issues like Medicare for All, a Green New Deal, racial justice, & more," she tweeted Friday.

"My ambition right now is to be a little less lonely in Congress," AOC told The New York Times

...which still proudly displays Walter Duranty's Pulitzer prize...

But she may not last in Congress: Already in hot water for refusing to pay dues to her caucus’ fundraising arm, the Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee, she’s now devoting her resources instead to defeating Democrats.

Don’t be surprised when the established Democrats who’ll control redistricting after the 2020 Census do their best to eliminate her seat.

#2 Ref #1: Need a different illustration... some kind of Escher drawing showing a mindless reptilian creature devouring itself

Quite honestly, it likely won't get any more 'reptilian' than the graphic.

#3 Just takes a redrawing of district lines back up in Albany to introduce Ms Communism of Boston University to New York Tammany Hall.

#4 They won't eliminate a Dam seat, they will finance her primary opposition to oust her.

#5 There was a news story out about a month or two ago that stated New York will definitely lose one of their congressional seats after the 2020 Census is finished. The seat to be lost is likely one of NY-1 to NY-4 (Long Island, one seat is Republican) or less likely this lunatic's seat (NY-14). The only interesting question is how bad will AOC piss of the NY Dem establishment.

All of this will, unfortunately, will not happen in time for Nov. 3rd, 2020.

#7 She is liable to have a fatal "accident". Albany knows some "bent nose" operatives.
