Last week, liberal hearts were all aflutter. 28-year-old socialist, Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, managed to push New York Congressman Joe Crowley out of a seat he’d held for a decade. Suddenly, the far-left had a candidate they could get behind. Almost overnight, Ocasio-Cortez’s name became a rallying cry against the Democrat Party elites who are now apparently too conservative for their own base.
Never mind that the party is run almost exclusively by leftist statists. That doesn’t matter, because they’re just not far left enough.
