It's NYC. It's August 5th. Election is in November.

None of this opposition has been effective and it's not doing anything in NYC. No one will be turning against her like that. The attacks honestly make her look better cuz the opposition ends up looking silly as fukk. They've already thrown everything but the kitchen sink(oh she said something positive about Adam Smith, who the right doesn't even understand anyway, in college/ a coworker of hers ain't like her/ the small little red/blue gaffe). You could argue her traveling everywhere and being a national figure only helps her drum up support in her district to vote for her. Again she's as safe as you can be. It's not winnable period for a Republican b. She's being used more as a symbol of the party by people in other states in an attempt to hurt other candidates like her. That's much more worth pondering about than her seat.

I'd imagine certain folks on the left from her district are probably more interested in critiquing her from the left more than anything (on foreign policy) given DSA folks helping, but that in no way is affecting her. The only obstacle is there being any confusion with Crowley being on the ticket but even that's practically an impossible outcome.

She's getting criticized on the Israel/Palestine stuff. Another case of why there needs to be left wing think tanks and foreign policy attitudes...

I just think it would be better she did what she is currently doing while being in office. If she says the wrong thing or someone unearths some dirt on her that causes her to lose to either the Republican or Crowley who is still on the ballot it would be a crushing and embarrassing blow to the Progressive cause. Yes, it is unlikely but still better safe than sorry. Doing all this because you won a primary seems like she is jumping the gun IMO.

She's spreading the message and more people are paying attention to it because of her notoriety. I think that benefit far outweighs any fears or concerns of right wing smear tactics.

Winning the primary was a bigger hurdle than winning the general election would be, so I don't have a problem with her helping other progressive candidates get their messenging across right now as much as possible. This is the time when people are paying the most attention.

Yeah, I mean I definitely hope there is nothing to worry about but it is extremely important she takes office.

That qualifies as a rant? Plus, you make it sound like she went batshyt crazy. She was quite coherent and made plenty of sense. And unlike a lot of Cuomo's guest, she was actually on topic.

Just saying, CNN usually doesn't let that type of talk/ideas be expressed. I'm a huge fan of AOC so I was not shading her at all. :whoa:
