AOC is a party of 1. No one should be surprised by this.

What a tool! I agree with her stance. I don't like how my taxes are spent but yet I pay out. Don't want to end up in jail.

She’s the star

Why should she give her money to those who can’t fundraise on their own

She’s the star


Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-N.Y.) on Friday defended her decision not to pay dues to the Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee (DCCC), saying she would instead seek to funnel money directly to Democrats in tough races.

Asked by The Hill if she intended to pay dues to the House Democratic campaign arm this cycle, Ocasio-Cortez replied, "I don't think so."

She said that instead of paying the DCCC dues — about $250,000 for the 2019-2020 election cycle — she would seek to give directly to Democratic candidates.

"We are trying to raise the equivalent of my dues directly to other members," Ocasio-Cortez told The Hill. She said the money she has raised has so far gone to backing House Democrats, as well as nonincumbent candidates. LINK

right there

why anybody who isn't a kook voting for a "moderate" democrat is a fricking idiot

Oh well of course Joe Blow is a "moderate", that money from AOC doesn't indicate anything!

I wouldnt debate what her IQ score might be. I’ve known a lot of brilliant people who didn’t have a lick of common sense. She’s obviously pretty shrewd to convince the voters in her district to cast the majority of their votes for an unproven barmaid with no political or business experience. I would most certainly question the average intelligence of her electorate, and they have my pity if this was she was their best option in the last election

Doesn’t matter what her IQ is because she has zero critical thinking skills and that is not debatable

Has she ever claimed to be a Democrat?

There are those who claim to be Democrats and aren't, and there are those who have never claimed to be Democrats.

They aren't party dues. They're dues to a separate committee. It's like being a hard-right conservative and being expected to give to a committee helping elect Mitt Romney.

I blame her for a lot but not this.

The committee also is now blacklisting any vendor that helps a challenger primary an incumbent. I wonder why they put that rule in place after 2018?!

There’s a lot to attack AOC on, but she’s in the right here. The DCCC basically declared war on her first.

Maybe the DCCC needs to support progressive causes and candidates... AOC has raised a bunch of money for the party
