NY-14: Goliath falls to OCASIO!

[OneJ]

I've always found it interesting how machine politics tends to be very big in minority districts like NY-14 and IL-03, even when the machine's politicians usually (though not always) are white.

Anybody know why this is?

Just simply those that are powerful who knows how to manipulate those that are a lot less powerful. Keep in mind that this kind of stuff has been going on since the Gilded Age and history finds a way to repeat itself over and over again in spite of the efforts to fight against it.

Justice dems are walking into the bar thinking that they are the hot cr@p. Let's show them up tonight just like we have been doing.

This aged well.

LOL. To be fair, no one saw this coming.

Did anyone on here realize that Clarke almost lost NY-9? Lol. I read on Twitter that she, as expected, did well in the heavily black/Caribbean precincts, did okay in Russian & mixed districts, and poorly in gentrifying & wealthy precincts.

Here's a another striking thing about AOC. She is yet another Democratic Socialist from the DSA to win like the candidates in Philly and Lee Carter, who are a few examples. Anyone has a guess as to why this small (but rapidly growing) organization is so successful?

Yes, because young latino people really are the champions of the WWC vote...

Did she trigger you? #OwningtheRight

What the heck is she doing in Kansas? I think she's starting to get ahead of herself.

She's in a D+29 district and has like a >99.9% chance of winning it. I don't blame her for going outside her district and helping other candidates. In fact, I wonder if she could pay a visit to NE-02.
