I guess Pelosi was right when she said a glass of water with a D behind its name could get elected in AOCs district. Has a congressman done more to cost their district more in jobs than AOC?

I don't agree with this description of them. Loud, attention seeking and flaming communists is better

Not only do I want the squad to remain a party of four, I want them to be the face of the Democrat party. I hope they get re-elected.

One of them has raised a lot of money however. They may coalesce around that candidate.


There may be multiple challengers on the ballot, but it's a 2 person race for that primary, and the guy who's raised a ton of money is a black guy getting a ton of support from the heavily jewish St. Louis Park area of her district. Near the lakes in the middle of the city there are a ton of signs for him.

My in-laws live in that district and will be voting for him in the primary

It'll be down to one in 2022.

AOC's district is expected to be eliminated as NY loses 2-3 Congressional districts as a result of the 2020 census.

Couldn't happen to a nicer person...

No 50%+1 requirement in MN.

Whomever gets the most votes wins the nomination, regardless of their percentage of the total.

If AOC's district is eliminated, I see her with a show on MSNBC or CNN.

Multiple challengers means she'll win as the challengers split the opposition vote.


First thing I thought, too, unless they have a run-off between the top 2 if nobody gets 50%.
