AOC hasn't endorsed a challenger to an incumbent Democrat in last two election cycles. And she is enthusiastically supporting Hakeem Jeffries for Speaker if Dems win the House. When people were working so hard to get her elected, this is exact opposite of what we were hoping for.
If your movement is so strong, why does it keep needing the Democratic Party’s ballot line, infrastructure, volunteers, donors, and voter file to win? Apparently your apparatus isn’t strong enough to do it on its own. Fight to make the Democratic Party better. Push it. Challenge it. But don’t use the Democratic Party as an Uber to get to office and then complain about the ride after you arrive. If you’re on the team, be on the team.
New York City Council District 3 67% Reported: 🔵 Carl Wilson – 3,814 (43.5%) 🔵 Lindsey Boylan – 2,054 (23.4%) 🔵 Layla Law-Gisiko – 1,904 (22.7%) 🔵 Leslie Boghosian Murphy – 949 (10.8%) This election has ranked-choice voting.
Here’s White after I asked about Clark’s injury and the fist to the neck, then @RomeovilleKid follows up:
Leiticia James to @IsaacDovere: she and other political leaders she’s spoken to are “disappointed” in Mamdani. “All of us are a little frustrated with the Democratic Party. But you don’t blow it up. That’s what MAGA has done” cnn.com/2026/06/24/pol…
This is a complaint you commonly hear online. AOC does horrible constituent services, nobody in her district actually likes her. And then voters actually show up. Yesterday she put up the most dominant primary win of any congressional incumbent in NYC in recent memory.
@timoteo5050 Yes- this is always the line. “If we go more far left, we will get a higher turn out.” But this theory has never actually been proven in swing districts, only in deep blue areas.
They went for it lol
NRCC trackers heading out to ask Dem candidates if they agree with Darializa Avila Chevalier’s tweets
I say this with no ill will or animosity: if you hate the Democratic Party, then please don’t run for our nomination. Don’t use our resources. Don’t rely on our volunteers. Don’t use our infrastructure. Don’t ask Democrats to invest their time, money, and energy in your campaign. Focus on building the party you actually support. Political parties aren’t perfect, but they’re built by millions of people who knock doors, make calls, organize meetings, and fight for the values they believe in. If you don’t believe in the party, then don’t ask its members to carry you across the finish line.
