Stranger things have happened. Murkowski was a write-in.
Doesn't he have to still run?
Incumbent Joseph Crowley, Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, Anthony Pappas, and Elizabeth Perri are running in the general election for U.S. House New York District 14 on November 6, 2018.
I thought he had been picked as a candidate for another party or something
hes the WFP candidate
Yeah, I see that. But I thought he endorsed Ocasio Cortez and stopped any public campaigning.
seems to me like establishment dems created a back up plan
I haven't heard anything different.
hes raised 9M as of sept 30th
If so, that's so insidious...
Wish my vote mattered
My theory: Most Americans HATE confrontation. They will not engage the Libs, but they will vote in mass, that is how they push back. Dems in for a rude awakening. Remember 538 "Hillary 96% chance of winning", it's Hillary all over again.
I'm not saying It's impossible he wins, but it would be news to me if he's still plugging for votes.
id be willing to bet that he unexpectedly wins and goes "well, I wasnt running but the people have spoken"
It would be interesting.
You might be right.
cortez is a huge fuck up for dems
>Americans hate confrontation
News to me
NY is all sorts of machine politics.
Cynthia nixon lost the 14th by 30 points
huge failure
and my god cortez is as dumb as a box of rocks
We shall see.
she said 200M people make less than 20k per year
jsf
thats the entire US labor force
Cortez, "the unemployment rate is so high becuase everyone is working two jobs."
and they will believe her too
We shall see, stranger things have happened.
He hasn't been terribly public by any means.
US labor force is 150M
She might've been close if she said something like "200M people live paycheck to paycheck"
Yeah, Ocasio-Cortez is a social media type. Not really into verifying facts, but will repeat numbers for shock value.
200m people making less than 20k a year is a strawman
Cortez will be President of California when they secede, now that would be hilarious
And technically its 100% true
That figure counts college students and anyone under 16 who doesnt wotk
