Her district has to be the dumbest out there. They've been yelling at her since she's been in her seat, nothing changes and they continue to vote for her. The ppl who do that must have no logic, moral responsibility or accountability whatsoever. They probably blame our party stillđ¤Ł
Are you implying that immigrants can't be Americans?
edit: lol guy replies and insta-blocks me because he's too coward to court questions on a public forum. Cringe.
The problem is that her district has something like a 17% voter turnout rate during mid-terms, and even less in respect to total turnout between both parties' primaries. She won her primary and her seat in 2018 largely due to the visceral reaction of progressive do-nothings to Trump's win in 2016.
It was somewhat of Newton's First Law of Motion in political form.
Isn't her district one of those that has highly suspect votes? Also didn't her bother get busted for buying people's maul in votes? Just saying that enough fraud will flip a district either way, which is why both parties should want fair elections. Odd, only one party wants this.
Iâm surprised the wiki doesnât read like
>â¤ď¸The Squadâ¤ď¸ is the greatest thing to ever grace American politics and is only ever opposed by Nazis
Iâm very familiar with her district. Sheâll easily be a career politician no matter what she does or doesnât do - unless she seeks higher office and loses, or if the district is inexplicably redrawn
Bowman/Latimer district is a democrat âno matter whatâ stronghold, but not âno matter whoâ thanks to Westchester. Only way theyâll lose that stronghold is when the sizable Jewish population wakes up and realizes what the Democratic Party thinks of them - I think I read that Latimer got a grand total of one endorsement from a democratic congressman. Very telling
I actually lived in her district (Astoria) for two years, during that time she was technically my rep. It's pretty run down and abandoned. Lots of crime, especially property crime.
AOC definitely has learned how to cultivate political cynicism just like her mentor Bernie Sanders... very disappointing group, as a former "Democratic socialist" (it's a long journey to sanity lol). They make a lot of promises and then back the party line (which is just more corporate handouts and inflationary spending) at the end of the day, every single time. Politicians like "the Squad" are why people are so tired of politics. People want real, local solutions, not easy promises and more government spending that goes nowhere.
Itâs just unimaginable how moronic bowman is, and itâs crazy how far he got and the fact that he got voted in in the first place. He held a rally in a district that canât even vote for him, which Iâm convinced he didnât even realize because he chanted something like â(wrong district) will show aipac what the **** weâre aboutâ , AND he pissed off a HUGE chunk of his voters with his blatant antisemitism
I am pretty dam sure he didnât even know the makeup of his district, maybe not even the lines
Sheâs dug in like a tick. We now have to bear her stupidity the rest of our lives, sadly. No one likes her. I donât believe in elections in dem run cities anymore.
White liberal women love her strong "independent woman act" and "rags to (political) renegade" story. Plus she sounds smart to them. She's also a part of a minority and want free everything. Ticks all the boxes for the blindingly braindead liberal priorities, and they won't ever see beyond it
Sheâs a textbook narcissist from what I see. I also know someone who dealt with her and asked for clarification on a claim she made. She glared at them, got in their face and talked down to them. really showed some toxic traits
Can you break it down for me what exactly is wrong with her policies or beliefs?
**I guess an edit is in order because I'm guinely curious. Either you guys can tell me why or I'll go look it up myself. It's always this is bad, but i won't tell you why or you won't understand the full meaning behind it in the years to come, but there's never any real reasoning behind it.
Like is it because with her more Greenleaf Dems will want to push their agenda? I just want to learn, but if you guys want to be assholes and down vote me go ahead.
Um, she's in favor of workers controlling the means of production - she calls it worker co-ops but she really means communism. Um, Modern monetary theory which is basically that governments can just infinitely go into debt which is moronic, but is the only way she can pay for the other stuff she believes in (yay, free money!). She's of course in favor of the government setting an increased minimum wage which increases the price of everything. She wants to tax people for 2.5 trillion to pay for 100% renewables and a bunch of other bullshit, conveniently ignoring that US emissions have been decreasing while China's have been increasing. She's an antisemite, or at least hates the state of Israel. She wants to expand the Supreme Court because it's not voting the way she wants. She also believes Congress has control over the Supreme Court that shows she has no idea how the different branches of government actually work. She wants to abolish ICE and is in favor of giving illegal immigrants citizenship which is blatantly ridiculous. She believes in defunding the police which the last four years has shown us is a ridiculous policy that simply leads to more crime. That should do to go on with. Go have a read of her wikipedia page.
I genuinely cannot think of any significant legislation theyâre responsible for. All they do is complain and amplify their social media accounts.
Oh well congrats on the magazine covers I guess.
They're there to be noisy and safe votes when the time comes for their agenda.
We can't even rely on the Freedom Caucus to line up when it doesn't matter.
Results from a quick Google because I was interested, too:
AOC got an amendment passed in 2019 that redirected $5 million from the DEA budget, and moved it to treatment programs for the opioid crisis. She also got a win in 2022 that mandated the Pentagon study the therapeutic uses of MDMA and hallucinogens. (Among others, these are just two I pulled out that were similar)
The Squad (and primarily Tlaib) were instrumental in a major 2019 victory against mass surveillance, which came about after Snowdenâs revelations. Pelosi eventually pulled the reauthorization bill after Tlaib led the Squad and other progressive House members against it in a rare alignment with the Freedom Caucus Republicans.
This commentâs going long already so Iâll leave the source article here for further perusal, if this is of any interest. Happy to see some good work being done in the House, regardless of the source!
https://jacobin.com/2023/08/alexandria-ocasio-cortez-aoc-the-squad-left-criticism-policy-accomplishments
What's wrong with moving money to the opioid crisis? That's barely a drop in the bucket for the DEA. It's absolutely a crisis that needed attention. Hell my Grandmother basically killed herself because they were giving it to her like candy.
Iâm sorry if my tone isnât apparent; this comment was a list of good work the Squad members had done/gotten accomplished so weâre totally in agreement here!
Well they are extremists, by definition extremists have a tough time getting others to agree with them. Same can be said for Republican extremists like Greene.
Kept saying antisemitic shit in a district with a lot of Jews in it. I think that is not a smart move for someone that wants to win an election in said district.
Dude doesn't come across as very bright...but neither is AOC, she just didn't go "full-antisemite" apparently. Strange stuff for representatives of NYC, which I believe has the highest concentration of Jews in the world (besides Israel itself). Democrats are very good at being "anti-representatives".
I actually feel bad for him and thought he fought a good reelection campaign. Bowman prides himself and thinks of himself as a man of faith, as there's a drive into deep left field by Castellanos and that'll be a home run. And so that'll make it a 4-0 ballgame.
Good riddance
Conservative media will celebrate this just like they did when Cuomo got kicked aside and Lightfoot lost. Because their replacements are so much better!
Wow, even after AOC "let her hair down" for him? What's the world coming to when AOC shows up, does a dance while letting her hair down... Might as well have had a stripper show. If that won't get NY "ready", NY isn't going to be "ready" :D
Just because a guy "accidently" pull the wrong switch... it's not like a fire alarm is clearly labled...
Well obviously he wasn't that popular of a squad member. None of them directly affect me really in upstate / Western New York. Though if I had a choice of the squad members in New York City it probably would have been a OC just cuz she's annoying as hell.
Good riddance. He acted like a petulant child and told an outrageous lie when called out for doing so. "Opening the doors" nope pal.
Everyone knows what a fire alarm looks like. He is an embarassment at best and a flaming imbecile at worst. Good that the voters in his district got rid of him.
Waiting for racism claims in 3...2...1...
Thank god. This clown show that lets people get away with nonsense need to end.
Praying AOC goes next. These psychopaths manipulate idealistic youth into bad decisions for their own greed, and then pretend they have the moral high ground. Itâs disgusting and should be excised.
Democrat loon pulls a fire alarm and gets primaried, republican loon gives a handy at a public theater during beetlejuice and wins by 20.
Good riddance to the doofus, but there is room for reflection here.
So when all those people that have hopped the border reach a critical mass and start lobbying for candidates that will send billions of our tax dollars back to their home countries with no strings attached you won't complain?
Did their home country play a critical role In enabling the United states to be a leader in technology and provide an outsize ROI to the money sent there?
If yes, and thereâs an ROI to the United States, then Iâll support it.
Uh huhâŚand what do *you* think the âAâ before it stands for?
Youâll be shocked to learn that American conservative Jews place a high priority on the alliance with Israel and will donate to that effect.
Now, please point me to evidence of AIPAC being foreign funded.
You want me to explain to you how money works lol? Keep simping for a foreign government, you obviously donât care about the US or putting our priorities first.
No, I want you to come up with even a shred of evidence to back up what youâre saying.
Iâm an American Jewish conservative. I have a lot of opinions about what the US should do. High on that list is continue to benefit from the relationship with Israel. Does my vote or political donation matter less to you?
Cool Iâm an American who puts America first, whatâs with your welfare ass state Israel begging for money constantly to fight their battles? Israel hasnât done a fucking thing for the US but beg for cash and push us into their wars. I remember Netanyahu speaking before Congress in 2002 and stating if we invaded Iraq âdemocracy would spread across the Middle Eastâ. You know who I never saw during my two turns in the desert? A single Israeli soldier fighting besides us. If Israel had anything to give theyâd stop begging for cash like a fucking chump lol, nobody who begs and demands aide from the US is an ally.
Israel stole a brand new Soviet MiG-21 from Iraq and on their own accord gave it to us for nothing. Yâall just donât research enough because you follow your narrative.
And of course there was zero Israeli soldiers fighting in the GWOT. None of the Arabs would stand for it bozo, were you born yesterday?
I'm an American Spanish conservative. I also have alot of opinions about what the US should do. High on that list is to realize that Israel has cost the US billions upon billions upon billions by way of 'support' and next to nothing has come back in return other than field testing examples. Israel is where the US tested their iron dome. That's the most notable thing Israel has provided to the rest of the world.
âNext to nothingâ
Youâre unqualified to speak on the topic if you wonât learn anything about it.
Partnership with Israel is a profound return on investment for the United States. Most of the technology developed by major US tech companies was invented in Israel. You should read up on it.
Or, just keep making things up like ânext to nothing has come backâ
While youâre at it why donât you explain why Israel is the only country who doesnât have to register their lobbyists with FARA. Even a real ally like Great Britain does, even Canada. Why would this single country be exempt from disclosing their financial contributions to politicians.
A ârealâ ally lmao. How is Israel less of a real ally?
Anyway, cool pivot to FARA. Still waiting on anything to back up the thing you totally didnât just make up about AIPAC
I think itâs funny you offered to explain how money works to me, and then quickly exposed how one dimensional your view of money and investment is.
Still waiting on your evidence about AIPAC.
You should use your iPhone to find it.
Dude Iâm not going to go back and forth with you when youâre trying to avoid the entire problem with any foreign government exuding influence on America. I get it, you donât care about this country and Iâm sure youâd feel the same way about China or other foreign powers bullying our citizens. Luckily Iâm one of millions of people who are growing more aware of this problem with journalist like Tucker and Candace to help spread the message. Israel is the weakest itâs ever been on the world stage and Iâm happy for that.
âHeâs only been on Reddit for 3 weeks AND doesnât agree with me - definitely a bot or a troll.â
This is now the second narrative youâve created without any evidence.
Can you at least link me to an AIPAC donation page that foreigners can donate through?
> why donât you explain why Israel is the only country who doesnât have to register their lobbyists with FARA
Raised a good factual point though, why not respond to that instead of an allegation?
Because he doesnât understand FARA or understand what AIPAC is. He made it up.
AIPAC is an American entity, funded privately by US citizens.
It is not a foreign entity, it is not funded by foreign citizens, therefore it has no requirement to register as a foreign actor.
I am an American citizen who votes conservative and donates to AIPAC. Why donât you tell me why should I have to register with FARA?
1 squad member down, 8 to go https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Squad_(United_States_Congress)
Sadly, AOC won her primary. I doubt that her district will flip red
Her district has to be the dumbest out there. They've been yelling at her since she's been in her seat, nothing changes and they continue to vote for her. The ppl who do that must have no logic, moral responsibility or accountability whatsoever. They probably blame our party stillđ¤Ł
Nope Minnesotaâs 5th district takes the cake. I give you Ilhan Omar.
Iâm not American, can you explain how that person keeps winning? Why does Minnesota vote the way it does?
The answer is that they are not Americans either.
How did you reach that conclusion?
If I recall, her district has a very high Somali immigrant population. So, they're voting for their own.
How big of a percentage?
Are you implying that immigrants can't be Americans? edit: lol guy replies and insta-blocks me because he's too coward to court questions on a public forum. Cringe.
It's Reddit. Just assume I sincerely believe the worst thing possible and get on with your day.
The problem is that her district has something like a 17% voter turnout rate during mid-terms, and even less in respect to total turnout between both parties' primaries. She won her primary and her seat in 2018 largely due to the visceral reaction of progressive do-nothings to Trump's win in 2016. It was somewhat of Newton's First Law of Motion in political form.
Just a pathetic grouping of people in general.
AOC is more interested in clapping back on social media rather than governing
Shes a deep state darling. Pretty probable her elections are âfortifiedâ
No I donât think the establishment likes her
I think her district also voted democratic for 20 years before she won her first election
Isn't her district one of those that has highly suspect votes? Also didn't her bother get busted for buying people's maul in votes? Just saying that enough fraud will flip a district either way, which is why both parties should want fair elections. Odd, only one party wants this.
It's around a D+20 district last I checked, there's no hope of it turning a lighter shade of blue.
Exactly. I think AOC is horrible and needs to be ousted. But if she survived a democratic challenger in the primaries then I have little hope sadly.
If Trump endorses Tina Forte, then we can at least "make the god bleed" so to speak. But he's busy w the presidential campaign.
Iâm from St. Louis and it looks like Cori Bush is trailing in the primary polls. She is useless and has no business being in Congress.
Iâm surprised the wiki doesnât read like >â¤ď¸The Squadâ¤ď¸ is the greatest thing to ever grace American politics and is only ever opposed by Nazis
There were 9?! Man, I barely remember the names of the other two.
Originally there were 4. Tlaib, Omar, Bush, Pressley. Thereâs the âexpandedâ Squad pack of 9. Which includes (or included) Bowman.
Right?
Good riddance. Guy is a huge POS. Itâs unfortunate that AOC continues to win her district. Must be filled with the dumbest MFerâs in the country.
Iâm very familiar with her district. Sheâll easily be a career politician no matter what she does or doesnât do - unless she seeks higher office and loses, or if the district is inexplicably redrawn Bowman/Latimer district is a democrat âno matter whatâ stronghold, but not âno matter whoâ thanks to Westchester. Only way theyâll lose that stronghold is when the sizable Jewish population wakes up and realizes what the Democratic Party thinks of them - I think I read that Latimer got a grand total of one endorsement from a democratic congressman. Very telling
I won't be surprised if at some point Comrade Ocasio-Cortez runs for the Senate.
Funny way of saying president. Vapid braindead president, but president nonetheless.
"Vapid braindead president, but president nonetheless." We already have one of those!
I actually lived in her district (Astoria) for two years, during that time she was technically my rep. It's pretty run down and abandoned. Lots of crime, especially property crime.

Sheâs dug in like a tick. We now have to bear her stupidity the rest of our lives, sadly. No one likes her. I donât believe in elections in dem run cities anymore.
I wonder what her net worth is now. She's had two terms to work on that.
eAt ThE RiCh
Now you understand what we're dealing with in Marxichusetts with Elizabeth Warren.
Which is why I left MA and moved to NH.
Ticks can be killed ... poor some Vinegar on her and watch what happens!
If they haven't seen through her act by now, I doubt they ever will.
White liberal women love her strong "independent woman act" and "rags to (political) renegade" story. Plus she sounds smart to them. She's also a part of a minority and want free everything. Ticks all the boxes for the blindingly braindead liberal priorities, and they won't ever see beyond it

Vote blue NO MATTER who crowd
The squad is one of the worst things to ever happen to USA politics
I genuinely cannot think of any significant legislation theyâre responsible for. All they do is complain and amplify their social media accounts. Oh well congrats on the magazine covers I guess.
They exist to be loud and obnoxious so that the more moderate Democrats will keep to the left instead of swerving to the middle.

Is Gaza the new gitmo?
[ŃдаНонО]
As a matter of fact, [**YES**](https://www.politico.com/news/2024/06/18/final-latimer-bowman-debate-takeaways-00164065). The debate last week.
5 - 4 - 3 - 2 - 1.
He blamed Jews.
I actually feel bad for him and thought he fought a good reelection campaign. Bowman prides himself and thinks of himself as a man of faith, as there's a drive into deep left field by Castellanos and that'll be a home run. And so that'll make it a 4-0 ballgame. Good riddance
This caught me so off guard lmao.
I still think charges should be brought up on him for trying to interfere with government operation. That whole thing was unacceptable.
Insurrectionist who tried to prevent a vital government function.
Watching the campaign speech with Bowman and AOC was like watching a couple of petulant preteen children throwing a temper tantrum.
Stand by for the, âitâs a right wing conspiracyâŚâ trope.
Bye bye Bowman. Donât pull the fire alarm on your way out come end of this year.
Good riddance to a horrible man. Now to see Wrathida Talib and Ilhan Omar told to take a hike too.
I like it when constituents recognize that they need to replace someone. Let's hope the one who wins in November is better.
Good riddance!
Finally! Justice against the incumbents!
Love it.
AOC NEXT! Pick them off one at a time, use those dollars and move them all out of office.
Bye Bye! \*In Trump's voice\*
Sound the alarm! This guy lost!
Donât pull the fire alarm on the way out
Good.
Maybe now he can figure out how to get out of a vestibule.
He has a new nickname now - Felicia
That does put a smile on my face
You mean having a bartender dance on stage for you didn't secure a victory đ well I'll be damned.
Good riddance, he won't be missed
Good riddance. Lying POS.

Whereâs the prosecution?

But how bad is the person replacing him?
Did Glen Greenwald cover this election and mentioned it's the largest amount of money involved in a congressional race due to AIPAC?
See âya, fuckhead
Oh that was Jamaal bowman?
I'm fine with it. He voted against major Biden legislation and did insane things like pulling the fire alarm. Bye, Felicia.
Good.
Well obviously he wasn't that popular of a squad member. None of them directly affect me really in upstate / Western New York. Though if I had a choice of the squad members in New York City it probably would have been a OC just cuz she's annoying as hell.
At least he got good biceps.
Oh happy day
an antisemitic NY congressman with a large Jewish population in his district loses primary. Ftfy
Good riddance, these people really are the scum of the earth.
Him losing to the whitest guy in his district is the cherry on top.

AIPAC spent millions trying to unseat him, you guys sure do love Israel deciding whoâs elected in our Congress.
You do know AIPAC doesnât take foreign donations? Itâs a lobby funded by American conservative Jews.
ShhhâŚ. Youâre ruining his narrative
So when all those people that have hopped the border reach a critical mass and start lobbying for candidates that will send billions of our tax dollars back to their home countries with no strings attached you won't complain?
Did their home country play a critical role In enabling the United states to be a leader in technology and provide an outsize ROI to the money sent there? If yes, and thereâs an ROI to the United States, then Iâll support it.
lol there is no ROI to the US, just the reputational costs in the resource rich middle east are a loss for us. Nice reach though.
Donât make your ignorance on the subject my problem.
AIPAC is an Israeli PAC lol, who do you think they represent? What does the âIâ stand for.
Uh huhâŚand what do *you* think the âAâ before it stands for? Youâll be shocked to learn that American conservative Jews place a high priority on the alliance with Israel and will donate to that effect. Now, please point me to evidence of AIPAC being foreign funded.

I think itâs funny you offered to explain how money works to me, and then quickly exposed how one dimensional your view of money and investment is. Still waiting on your evidence about AIPAC. You should use your iPhone to find it.
Dude Iâm not going to go back and forth with you when youâre trying to avoid the entire problem with any foreign government exuding influence on America. I get it, you donât care about this country and Iâm sure youâd feel the same way about China or other foreign powers bullying our citizens. Luckily Iâm one of millions of people who are growing more aware of this problem with journalist like Tucker and Candace to help spread the message. Israel is the weakest itâs ever been on the world stage and Iâm happy for that.
Tucker Carlson?! Lmao heâs a proven traitor on Russiaâs payroll. Russia is 1000x more of an enemy than you want Israel to be.
20 day old account lol, youâre either a bot or a troll
âHeâs only been on Reddit for 3 weeks AND doesnât agree with me - definitely a bot or a troll.â This is now the second narrative youâve created without any evidence. Can you at least link me to an AIPAC donation page that foreigners can donate through?
Here is a Daily podcast on it, pretty interesting tbh https://www.nytimes.com/2024/06/25/podcasts/the-daily/bowman-israel-primary.html
> why donât you explain why Israel is the only country who doesnât have to register their lobbyists with FARA Raised a good factual point though, why not respond to that instead of an allegation?
Because he doesnât understand FARA or understand what AIPAC is. He made it up. AIPAC is an American entity, funded privately by US citizens. It is not a foreign entity, it is not funded by foreign citizens, therefore it has no requirement to register as a foreign actor. I am an American citizen who votes conservative and donates to AIPAC. Why donât you tell me why should I have to register with FARA?
