(37,777 posts)political style there are hundreds of thousands of people out there that don't agree with her, her friends and politics. She invested in Bernie and well it didn't pay off. We have all been down that road, we move on. I come from a family involved in politics growing up. I've seen some knock down blow out primary fights. Not every one forgets, those are the ones that can't get rid of that chip.

(12,008 posts)Wow, I remember a time when this forum supported people like her. I think we need more AOC's, not less. And she'll play an important role in unifying the party and bringing some of Bernie's supporters who are reluctant about Biden into his camp after Bernie withdraws or the primaries are over.

(15,505 posts)I think she has a certain fire thats good for the party. Shes been a good Democrat too, supporting Pelosis leadership when many of her fans were urging her otherwise. I think shes the future of the party. Of the squad, I have more issues with Omar, whos made arguably anti-Semitic comments, and Tlaib, who booed Hillary Clinton.

(31,261 posts)Florida does it's Congressional/US Senate/Statewide office primary in August along with a few other places. For example, I just voted, there was only the presidential primary ballot. I will go back in August to vote for State Rep, State Senate, statewide propositions, State Judge offices, other statewide issues.

I doubt she spends much time in her district. Her district deserves José Velasquez who will spend less time trying to be a twitter star and more time helping the citizens of NY-14.

(12,279 posts)It has been really influential during this campaign season. It is highly ambitious in scope, but no one can argue that it hasn't influenced discourse about climate change.

(31,261 posts)an extra few thousand new potential customers make an enormous difference to some shops. The big name places survive on reputation, but the smaller, family owned ones really depend on that extra 30-40 customers each day to survive.

(34,660 posts)there is a new high rise every month. Those Amazon jobs were going to take up to 10 years to get there, if they actually came at all. In the mean time, a developer has recent said they will build an office tower on the site. So the people are still coming. The Amazon impact was over sold.

(24,692 posts)We are getting where we need to be in terms of accepting reality. Some are getting there faster and some slower but we are getting there. I suspect Bernie is close to making his decision. If not now, next week.
