Another Far Left NYC Candidate Is Looking To Rock The Empire State

I hope she wins the Primary!!!!!

ROFL Shes a Community Organizer, code word for Never had a real job

Rep. Joe Crowley (D-NY) was a top Democrat, one who could have taken the helm after Nancy Pelosi left or was forced out. Then, Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez delivered a knockout blow to his political career. It was the Left’s Eric Cantor moment. Ocasio-Cortez, a democratic socialist who wants to abolish Immigration and Customs Enforcement, is being portrayed as the future of the Democratic Party. While she’s a shoo-in for Congress, she may have an ally to represent the cause in New York proper. Julia Salazar (https://salazarforsenate.com/), who is also an anti-ICE democratic socialist, is running for state senate. After Ocasio-Cortez won her primary, she soon began promoting Salazar, who is challenging incumbent Democrat state Senator Martin Dilan


(https://townhall.com/tipsheet/mattvespa/2018/07/17/former-fbi-lawyer-lisa-page-said-anti-trump-texts-with-peter-strzok-mean-exactly-n2501115)The 27-year-old community organizer has become a recognizable name and face in the neighborhood thanks to an aggressive ground game in her challenge to eight-term incumbent Democratic state Sen. Martin Dilan. Salazar and scores of volunteers have blanketed the district collecting signatures to get her name on the ballot for the September 13 primary. Salazar, her campaign told The Intercept, plans to submit many times more than the requisite 1,000 signatures from registered Democrats in the district by the July 9 filing deadline.



Dilan, a vestige of the corrupt patronage machine of former Brooklyn Democratic boss Vito Lopez, has held the North Brooklyn seat since Salazar, a working-class Colombian immigrant, was 11 years old.



Interest in Salazar’s insurgent campaign spiked last week when Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, another millennial Latina, shook the political world by trouncing Queens Democratic Party boss Rep. Joe Crowley in a congressional primary. As news of Ocasio-Cortez’s upset spread, Salazar tweeted, “This is the most inspiring campaign victory I have ever witnessed.” Over the past few months, Ocasio-Cortez and Salazar have shared stages, knocked doors together, and endorsed each others’ campaigns. “Alexandria, mi hermana, mi heroína,” Salazar wrote on election night, “I am so grateful to be in this movement with you.”

Pay attention. We are taking in record revenues because of the tax cut and economic growth.

Everyone has a right to pursue those things.


Communism/socialism has also, everywhere tried, been an economic failure.

If I am the head of the RNC, I take the quote about her (meaning socialism) being the future of the party and plaster it on every street corner in this country along with pictures of the soviet Hammer and Sickle.

That's because communism is, first and foremost, the rationale of tyrants to live like the thieves they are on the efforts of citizens. It's not just coincidence that communist party leadership in both Russia and China are among the richest people on the planet. Putin's wealth is in the billions -- right up there with Bill Gates'.

For what?

Either that or they will fight like hell to retain their position among the ruling politburo, which is where the wealth is in communist countries.

This is developing now in our own government. Several Congress members have become unusually wealthy since taking office.

Spending is the problem, of course. It will take a Constitutional amendment to change the nature of government spending. Our Constitution lacks the teeth and claws it needs to protect itself and the people from rapacious politicians.

We can do this. But time is running out.

It will take amendments to prevent politicians from becoming wealthy through government "service".

We can do this. But time is running out.The constitution gives us the right to vote. WE need to change the congress wholesale. Spending can be brought back on congressional pay and used for vets.

If your solution worked it would have been done by now. It does not work. Term limits for everyone (congress critters, staff members, judges, Justices, everyone) would greatly help.
