Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-N.Y.) signaled in an interview with Axios on Monday that she would not support New York City Council member Chi Ossé in a primary challenge against House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries (D-N.Y.).
Why it matters: Ocasio-Cortez is one of several high-profile progressives distancing from Ossé’s potential run, arguing that it is a distraction from New York City Mayor-elect Zohran Mamdani’s victory.
Ocasio-Cortez told Axios during a brief interview at the U.S. Capitol that she was “not aware” that Ossé was challenging.
“But,” she added, “I certainly don’t think a primary challenge to the leader is a good idea right now.”
Yeah let’s hear all about how Mamdani exists to be controlled opposition, and how his choices are so fucking questionable lately, and how he’s only driving mainstream liberals back to the Democratic party.
C’mon Tankiejerks. If you trash AOC but can’t find the courage to also trash Mamdani, you’re worthless. So let’s hear it. He’s sold out! In two weeks! Booooourgeois!
No? Crickets as usual from the refuseniks? How odd.
Seriously the more shit i see in here the more I wonder how wrong a strategy it is to tack to the center. The so-called-left can’t win a goddamned participation trophy ffs. We have to put a stake in MAGAs heart in less than a year and this kind of garbage only puts us further away from that.
At least RTFA. The ragebait trap caught a bunch of people.
That looks more like Jeff Coltin’s contribution to what Mandani said. Mamdani did the very politician thing and said ‘there are many ways’. Jeff is adding in the discouragement and the ‘but’ to Mamdani’s quote.
That might have something to do with it.
Stop being a divisive wrecker and forcing your purity tests on leftists.
Either fall in line or go away, this is a critical time and we cannot have you righties around trying to wreck our momentum because you’re okay with a little bit of genocide.
Oh that is rich
No YOU righties stop trying to wreck our momentum because you’re okay with not having a single national presence to point to and perfect is just fine being the enemy of the good.
Feel free to address the hypocrisy I called out w/r/t the article or - as i fully expect - don’t.
