From the article:

"Only a Democrat is going to be able to defeat her, and it’s going to be a moderate Democrat,” he told the news outlet. “She’s a no-show in the district. She hasn’t brought about anything except division within the party.”

Isn't he one of those socially conservative Dems like Ruben Diaz Sr.? Not much hope here. We need a charismatic local businessman who'll run on small ball issues.

[Del Tachi]

Endorsed.

AOC winning is inevitable, Republicans and "moderates" will save themselves a lot of disappointment and sorrow if they accept that now.

I am not all that moderate, but I want AOC gone still. Simply put, she is an attention whore and is an embarrassment to our party, even if her ideas are mostly OK IMO.

On a completely unrelated note, does anyone else laugh at the MAGA Twitter grandmas who think that AOC's GOP opponent will win?

I'd like to see them have conversations with #Resistance Twitter people who actually think Amy McGrath has a chance.

As funny as those that think Maxine Waters' district will ever flip

Actually those people are even funnier

Unfortunately she won't lose the primary, or the general election.

Isn't this the asshole who praised Uganda's homosexuality laws?

[Skye]

F to the poor souls who donate to all those hopeless campaigns that will try to unseat AOC.

[Coldstream]

I think the primary will be closer than it should be (maybe some thing like 60-40 if she has a bad night) but yeah it’s hard to see her losing atm. Though in a few years once the hype dies down I could see it.

[Continential]

PresidentJohnson would endorse him because he is a #Moderate.

[Sestak]

so much grift here.

AOC really is one of the best representatives of our time. She's helping bring so much money and jobs into her district!

Remember that dumbass who challenged Bernie in the VT primary? Neither do I.

You mean the one who got arrested for abusing her daughter?

The fact that Atlas centrists prefer a guy who literally supports Uganda's gay death penalty laws over a standard social democrat is... a pretty accurate representation of who centrists are, really.

Homophobes > commies

Endorsed!

Ugand is not just homophobic. The law makes it legal to execute homosexuals.

Is being an "attention whore" (not really a characterization I agree with, but that's beside the point) really worse than supporting death penalty laws for homosexuality? I get that some Democrats have issues with "the Squad" (I've been souring significantly on Omar and Tlaib), but some really need to get their priorities straight.

Sorta says more about the Moderate Heroes that they're endorsing a guy who supports executing gay people. Definitely a couple of big questions that need answering there.

Not gonna happen, she has so much name recognition, and is very popular within her district.

Let’s see if he can actually rally the Queens machine thugs. Then we might have something.
