5/9 AOC on the #46 Dem Primaries: Bold with Big Ideas That Will Make People’s Lives Better & Evening OT
ICYMI- Here is our conversation with @AOC about what it will take to win her 2020 endorsement. She said it will take “a while” to decide. She is considering @BernieSanders & @ewarren but didn’t seem high on @JoeBiden. pic.twitter.com/sT69GTusVN

Boom!
Only 2 seem to fit that vision….from CNN.
Sanders and Ocasio-Cortez, one of the most popular figures on the Democratic left, are using the new bill to address an issue that many closely identify with another presidential candidate, Sen. Elizabeth Warren of Massachusetts.
Ocasio-Cortez has not endorsed any primary candidate and has indicated she could wait until New York votes next year before making a decision.
Speaking to CNN on Thursday, she named Sanders and Warren as two potential picks.“I would like to see in a presidential candidate is one that has a coherent worldview and logic from which all these policy proposals are coming forward,” Ocasio-Cortez told CNN. “I think Sen. Sanders has that. I also think Sen. Warren has that. I also want to see us centering working people in the United States to stem income inequality (and) tackle climate change.”
Asked if she would consider former Vice President Joe Biden, Ocasio-Cortez said, “I’m not sure,” adding with a laugh, “Now it’s getting a little nuts.”
More videos, tweets, (including the video of Bernie and AOC’s Loan Shark Prevention Act) and news in the comments! Consider this an open thread.
Tip jar….some of our TOP comrades need it. Lots of TO’s and NR’s going around with the some of the Berners. I’m not one of them as I try not to get too personally involved, but still, looks like a second wave of Ides is coming.
Yes you are very diplomatic there. I think it’s a good policy. Who needs fighting, which won’t change minds. Whenever I post, it’s always mostly facts, usually with an outside source.
Didn’t know about the TO/NR stuff. I know that TomP and Igual couldn’t rec for a while.
Obviously, AOC will endorse either Bernie or Liz, after one or the other drops out. Yeah AOC endorsing Biden🤣🤣🤣
CNN has a hit piece on Bernie on teevee. Great materials for the GOP.
Looks like it was whispered to CNN by Neera Tanden and David Brock. It may backfire on them if he wins the nomination.
And who started this trend? An old Jewish guy?
Thankfully the Dems Are Playing Hardball with the Left
It seems, though, that for all of us to continue to fund all of the progressive candidates we truly need, will have to get money out of politics. Is Stabley Schmidt ?The establishment likely thinks that we will run out of money. And honestly, if you have progressive ideals and you’re in the business of helping campaigns, you should think twice about caving to the establishment.
Yes, we all need to make money and those who have had none certainly have that hunger. But if you are a progressive, you believe that the common good is more important than you getting a fancy home. You believe that your community connections are more important than the walls around your house.
Stopping rant.
Sweet. Bernie needs to make sure his hand doesn’t go in front of her face next time. ☺️
He practically pushed her elbow off the table, lol, she didn’t seem to mind, but I wish he was a bit more body-aware.

A different child
Classic.
I got this from WotB, good chart comparison of Biden and Sanders’ policies.
Good news…
Hopefully, the new grand jury won’t put her back in. Yes, good news for any amount of time.
In support of Rep Rashida Tlaib:
Do a live blog at TOP or some of the Clinton campaign staffers first. That would be good practice for you. Maybe get Van Jones to moderate the conversation.
House votes to overturn Trump ObamaCare move
Not Sensenbrenner, His congressional district is so R that he would get reelected from jail. Won last election with just over 62% of the vote.
That made me curious about Biden’s military service, which turns out to be pretty much the same as Trump’s:
