And this has to do with the lack of an endorsement. :francis:


They don’t endorse anyone during primaries against incumbent democrats unless the candidate is already an incumbent CBC member.

it’s a common practice among politicians, it’s bad taste and even worse politics, endorsing a challenger against a democrat incumbent.

Aoc went against that by endorsing challengers against current incumbent CBC members and other dems.

Is common practice and what is currently tasteful getting us where we want? I don't think so.
She endorsed candidates not going against CBC members as well. You seem to be making a point she was anti-black or something by doing so.

I mean you keep saying this. But she disproportionately targeted CBC members.

And like I said I think AOC got duped and convinced by someone else’s to do the endorsements.


link? Just cause DSA and/or Justice Dems endorses doesn't mean she did. She isn't part of those groups.

CBC AOC beef been going on for a while

Ocasio-Cortez weighs a new primary target: Hakeem Jeffries


The ongoing feud between House Democratic leadership and progressives, explained

CBC lawmakers rip Justice Democrats for targeting black lawmakers for primaries

Black Caucus seeks to squash liberal insurgents


CBC didn’t endorse Ilhan or Ayanna during their primaries. Both are members. The CBC incorporates many leftists ideas in their agendas, led by progressive black congressmen.



Ilhan has thrived within the CBC, tapping into their decades long relationship with the black Muslim community. They’ve helped her raise/get commitments for tons of money.


And Ayanna is covered and pushed by the CBC and progressives. Last person that did that effectively was Obama.

I think the point is that AOC didn’t actually target them

and yes, Ilhan has definitely thrived with CBC. I actually met her at an annual CBC party in 2018 after she won her primary.

she did. Someone got in her ear and told her to backdown on endorsing challengers* against most incumbent democrats.

which was one of the catalysts behind her starting her own pac, among other things.

That first article states: "But a person who has discussed the project with Ocasio-Cortez and her team said the congresswoman-elect has recruited an African-American woman to challenge Jeffries, who was just elected to replace Crowley as caucus chairman — the No. 5 House Democratic leadership position. The person who spoke with Ocasio-Cortez and her team, who asked for anonymity to discuss a private conversation, called Jeffries the “highest priority” primary target of Ocasio-Cortez."

This is hearsay and not at all an endorsement. The article posted by OP at least had quotes from a CBC member this has an anonymous source. You called that a hit piece, this isn't?!

The second article the guy speaking against a Dem politician on AOC's team got fired basically for this exact reason.

The third and fourth articles are about Justice Dems not AOC.

Can you be anymore disingenuous sir?

She backed off the Jeffries challenger recruitment. It’s a fact not hearsay.

AOC endorses challengers to CBC members with the justice democrats before splitting from them and starting her own thing.

there’s a gigantic thread in here about it.

Again, please provide the evidence then sir. That's what you were asked previously and you provide an article that just has information from an anonymous source? :hhh:

lol just bc u don’t know something doesn’t make it non true.
