That argument always annoys me. They're not fleeing persecution, they're fleeing the religious garbage fire of a society that they themselves helped create and enforce and now they want to come to the west and ho-ho-ho motherfucker they have some ideas on how society needs to be run and it's the same fucking ideas that turned their birth country a hellish shithole. I'd be much more ok with the whole thing if the rhetoric changed from bleeding hearts crying about persection to something in the spirit of "babby touched the stove for a record breaking 12th time, it never learns, maybe we can protect retard-baby from itself". That would be more honest and we won't get anywhere without admitting that a lot of those people are inbred perma-idiots.

In light of the supreme court's decision to uphold the Muslim travel ban, Brianna has shared her opinion on this issue through stressed the importance of actual political involvement rather than excessive and pointless Twitter activism. Advice I'm positive Brianna would follow through with and not just contradict immediately by posting about ten times in two hours while sitting at home and doing nothing.

Of course, it wouldn't be complete without some hypocrisy related to the Red Hen debacle. Because denying a person because of the high rates of them being a mass murderer or an unskilled worker is unforgivable. However, denying a person because they work for somebody you disagree with is A-OK!

As Brianna Wu promptly stated herself, that's some pretty flagrant #doublestandards.

That baker refused to have his business used in a Biden campaign spot, he didn’t refuse to sell him a cupcake or whatever.

Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez Defeats Joseph Crowley in Major Democratic House Upset

Representative Joseph Crowley of New York, once seen as a possible successor to Nancy Pelosi as Democratic leader of the House, suffered a shocking primary defeat on Tuesday, the most significant loss for a Democratic incumbent in more than a decade, and one that will reverberate across the party and the country.

Mr. Crowley was defeated by a 28-year-old political newcomer, Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, a former organizer for Bernie Sanders’s presidential campaign, who had declared it was time for generational, racial and ideological change.

The last time Mr. Crowley, 56, even had a primary challenger, in 2004, Ms. Ocasio-Cortez was not old enough to vote.

Mr. Crowley, the No. 4 Democrat in the House, had drastically outspent his lesser-known rival to no avail, as Ms. Ocasio-Cortez’s campaign was lifted by an aggressive social media presence and fueled by attention from national progressives hoping to flex their muscle in a race against a potential future speaker.

It's an interesting comparison, and she's certainly exactly the type of candidate Wu wants to be perceived as being.

I don't even know if there's a term for what Wu is, it's almost a completely unique phenomenon. A first time candidate who has got really quite unprecedented national media coverage, but who has no local profile at all and who struggles to get the most trivial acknowledgement in local media. Someone who has a wikipedia page despite almost nothing at all being concretely known about them. A straw candidate? A figurative candidate?

I'm constantly baffled by the way Wu is handling her campaign. Even the lowest of low effort things don't get done. Wu latched on to the immigrant family separation issue, she went to the march about it using up most of the day in a period where a real candidates time would be extremely valuable, but she didn't make any sort of public statement about the whole affair. So while Ayanna Pressley makes local headlines about abolishing the ICE, Wu achieves absolutely nothing.

Ultimately I guess Wu is happy with making extremely silly videos on someone else's dime, and waving at puzzled crowds in the 4th of July parade as if they're supposed to know who the hell she is. Cortez shows you can run a shoestring campaign and win under some circumstances, though perhaps not quite as shoestring as Wu's resources would allow. Wu hasn't shown any interest in even trying.

Edit:

Here we go.

So a few things Ocasio-Cortez had going were:
  • She was a majority-minority. Being Latina meant she was in the second largest demographic group in NYC. Last time I checked, the tranny-goon demo in MA-8 was < 1% of the population. John doesn't have that angle.
  • Compared to John, this broad had some actual accomplishments. She finished a degree at Boston University, which is a pretty prestigious university. She studied abroad. She has also actually even held down jobs.
  • She was involved in, and had some responsibility in other campaigns. Specifically Bernie Sanders'. We know how John felt about Bernie.
  • She was able to leverage her political contacts into some pretty serious endorsements from non-fringe groups like unions and even Cynthia Nixon - the chick from Sex and The City who is running for NY Governor.
  • She actually campaigned and had a grass roots movement behind her. I live in NYC, not in her district, but walking around it's clear the campaign actually had some visibility at a street level. She has a lot of charisma and really resonates with her demo whereas John is alienating and illness inducing to most reasonable people.
  • She is a hot chick - John is an unfortunate looking dude in a dress. This is a pretty big deal.
In a larger context beyond the Lynch vs Wu thing I am not convinced this represents a "blue wave". While I think Ocasio-Cortez's embrace of socialism seems to go over well with the folks in her district fairly well, her actual platform at a national level is quite insane. She is a Democrat replacing another Democrat. Same as it ever was! The socialist shit probably won't fly in other places where you have an actual contest in play with moderate republicans or a somewhat divided electorate.

A few additions - Cortez raised $300K - 6x as much money as John has managed to raise. Cortez was also visible and active in community activities and politics before running for office. She had a presence and people knew who she was before she even announced a run. John is two and a half months away from an election, and >90% of the people that will vote on election day have never even heard the name Brianna Wu.

I also find it amusing that last night was the same night that Chelsea Manning "won" 5.7% of the vote. You can draw your own inferences, but it doesn't take a political scientist to see which campaign - Cortez or Manning - that Wu's most resembles.

Excellent post and just a little more "inside baseball" -- nobody comes up out of the Democratic primaries in NYC without years of professional "back channelling". Not the BS way Wu thinks it works but by actually working as a community leader and in other campaigns and building a huge network of allies and people you can call for a favor when you do run. You build your name and if you're charismatic enough you can leverage all that when you do decide to run.

John of course did none of the hard work (sorry, e-organizing is not hard work) and then carpetbagged his way into the district the year before the election. He also of course has no natural charisma (which is something you can learn a bit as an organizer, but John never put in the hard work) and is laughably bad on camera.

lol of course John, anyone who criticises identity politics must be a literal Nazi.

If John believes that white men are the only people who oppose the tenets of "identity politics," then he has never met one of the tens of millions of socially conservative black and Latino voters who live in the Land of the Free. Not that this willful ignorance is surprising from someone who refuses to acknowledge that 90 percent of murdered troons are killed by black guys who are vexed when they discover that the "woman" who is seducing them is actually a surgically and chemically modified man.

I always find Wu's rhetoric about how the country is on the brink of disaster and they must fight or be beaten by the Trumpian Reich is bitterly ironic. She's standing in a solidly blue district against a fellow Democrat who can usually be counted on to vote for exactly the things Wu wants, albeit that he has certain old fashioned ideas about what it means to be a Democrat. All she's doing by "fighting the good fight" is to divert money and attention away from competitive races and in to defending an old hand from the depredations of an insane glory hunter. She's actually making the situation worse.

Of course there's no actual Republicans to fight in Wu's solid blue state, but considering she was committed to carpetbagging anyway she could just have thrown her hat in the MA3 melee and been on almost a level playing field with the other runners. That at least wouldn't have cost her party anything, and she might have actually had a chance to be taken seriously.
