This is a victory in my book! Crowley was the definition of the machine politician and one who could do whatever they wanted and get away with it. OC is just better in every way. Also, she is endored by the DSA, and if you see my avatar, yeah, its my jam.

The Democratic version of Brat taking down Cantor has happened: Crowley gets crushed by Ocasio-Cortez.

I was really sad when Blue Dog Lipinski won his primary, but this is totally worth it.

Wow. One of the best results in American politics in a long time. This must’ve been what the Tea Party felt when Cantor got primaried.

Even though I dislike Progressives, I am also fine with this outcome. Gets that hack Crowley out of leadership contention and allows us to consider better people who are high up in the dem leadership like Ray Lujan.

Loses in landslide to the young Latina Socialist (she's literally a dues-paying member of the Democratic Socialists of the USA).

Good! Down with the people who insiders claim are the moderate "white working class" champions of the party and the party's future.

True, although I don't agree with her on her DSA beliefs.

Crowley should resign as Queens Democratic boss and give it to Greg Meeks.

Though she's a little too far to the left for my tastes, I see no problem with Ocasio's victory. Crowley, by all accounts, was an establishment hack, and he ran a poor campaign. Plus, this is New York, which is notorious for its corrupt machine politics. So for the Democratic Party, this was probably a good thing.

Nominating left-wing Democrats in solidly Democratic districts is a good thing, glad she won.
