US "The Squad" Megathread - Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, Ilhan Omar, Rashida Talib Derangement Syndrome

I honestly only know about American politics from what I read on the Internet but since we all love shitting on leftists I figured we'd get a kick out of this. Also it's trending on Twitter so you know it's important.

NEW YORK — Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, a 28-year-old political novice running on a low budget and an unabashedly liberal platform, upset longtime U.S. Rep. Joseph Crowley on Tuesday in the Democratic congressional primary in New York.

The surprise victory by the community organizer in a district that includes parts of the Bronx and Queens came after an energetic, grassroots campaign that mustered more than enough support in a low-turnout race that many had expected to be an easy win for Crowley, a member of the Democratic House leadership.

“The community is ready for a movement of economic and social justice. That is what we tried to deliver,” said Ocasio-Cortez, who has never held elected office and whose candidacy attracted only modest media attention.

She told The Associated Press after her victory that she didn’t have enough money to do polling in the race, but felt in her gut that her message had a chance to connect.

“I live in this community. I organized in this community. I felt the absence of the incumbent. I knew he didn’t have a strong presence,” she said.

Crowley has been in Congress since 1999 and hadn’t faced an opponent in a primary election since 2004, when Ocasio-Cortez was just a teenager. He was considered a candidate to become the next House speaker if Democrats win the majority.

“It’s not about me,” Crowley, 56, told his supporters at a campaign party following his loss. “It’s about America. I want nothing but the best for Ms. Ocasio-Cortez. I want her to be victorious.”

He later played guitar with a band at the election night gathering, and dedicated the first song, Bruce Springsteen’s “Born to Run,” to Ocasio-Cortez.

Crowley represents New York’s 14th Congressional District, where he is also the leader of the Queens Democratic party.

Ocasio-Cortez was outspent by an 18-1 margin during her race but won the endorsement of some influential groups on the party’s far left, including MoveOn, as well as the actress Cynthia Nixon, who is running for governor. She defeated Crowley by 15 percentage points.

Born in the Bronx to a mother from Puerto Rico and a father who died in 2008, Ocasio-Cortez said she decided to challenge Crowley to push a more progressive stance on economic and other issues.

She attended Boston University, where she earned degrees in economics and international relations, and also spent time working in the office of the late U.S. Sen. Edward Kennedy.

After graduating, she returned to the Bronx where she became a community organizer. In the 2016 presidential campaign she worked for U.S. Sen. Bernie Sanders.

Among her issues is expanding the Medicare program to people of all ages and abolishing Immigrations and Customs Enforcement. She recently went to Tornillo, Texas, to protest against policies that have separated parents from their children at the southern U.S. border.

Ocasio-Cortez gained some internet attention for a campaign video called “The Courage to Change,” a two-minute spot for which she wrote the script and featured footage from her own home.

Crowley is chair of the House Democratic Caucus, the fourth-highest ranking position in Democratic leadership in that chamber of Congress.

His loss drew the attention of President Donald Trump.

“Wow! Big Trump Hater Congressman Joe Crowley, who many expected was going to take Nancy Pelosi’s place, just LOST his primary election. In other words, he’s out! That is a big one that nobody saw happening. Perhaps he should have been nicer, and more respectful, to his President!” he tweeted.

The Republican candidate for the office, Anthony Pappas, is running unopposed and had no primary. Pappas teaches economics at St. John’s University.

She was a Bernie campaigner, is supported by BLM, and wants to abolish Immigrations and Customs Enforcement. Also this was in a solid-blue Congressional District so you know she's a shoo-in for next Congress.

But hey, we did get to see Trump laugh at Crowley on Twitter.

AOC is part of a district that even a moderate Republican has little chance of winning, so she's likely only getting the boot the moment a less unhinged Democrat primaries her.

You leave out the option for a blue state RINO. Basically all her opponent has to do is register as a Republican, not actually be a Republican.

Not to be that guy or anything but isn't one of the biggest reasons they hate us in the first place is our continued support of Israel?

You've read the TDS thread, right? Do you think Trump's actual policies and statements are the reason they hate him, or do those just make convenient talking points to supposedly justify the thirst for his blood?

Ceasing to support Israel would not suddenly turn any of the Muslim theocracies into our friends. At the very best, most rainbow-optimistic outcome, a couple of them might cease actively trying to fund our destruction. The far more likely scenario is that they'd just shift back to the more generic talking points of "the imperialistic aims of the decadent western pigs" and other such bullshit.

I'm not saying it would, but acting as if though it isn't a generous part of why we get so much hate from that part of the world seems disingenuous. So does the notion that they just mindlessly hate us for no reason whatsoever, to be blunt about it.

I'm saying it's irrelevant. They will hate us and attack us whether or not we fund/create an ally in the region, so we have nothing to lose by funding/creating an ally in the region. State-funded Muslim criminals have been attempting to prey on America since before it was actually a country of its own, acting like the establishment of modern Israel is some final straw that made them really hate us is basically Stormfront-level slopeheadedness.

I'm speaking purely on the topic of why the U.S. gets such hate from that region, and yes it's relevant to that in particular. You can settle down dude, I'm not calling for Israel to be nuked or some such retarded shit nor was I implying Israel was the final straw.

Hell the first five words of the post you quoted were "I'm not saying it would" in regards to the concept of the M.E. no longer having contempt for us if we ditched Israel.

The Hate Squad is more of an embarrassment to the US than any of them can make Trump out to be.

Trump is an embarrasment because your totally cool, woke european friends don't like him. Uh, you have european friends, right? What are you, a Drumpf voter?

And is the hated for the US the reason for all those bombings and terrorist attacks in Europe? or the the conflicts between Muslims and Hindus? or between Muslims and Buddhists? Isn't it weird how many different cultures have given Muslims a generous reason to hate them.

 

[Yovevires]

I don't even understand the point of measuring it by that metric and extrapolating a negative out of it, but even if you want to measure by that--and assuming they're even at the top of that one-- that same database will show you what the foreign aid was meant for, and the overwhelming majority of foreign aid we've sent to Israel is for their military, not for their economy. Given that absolutely everyone in the world wants to murder them and they've managed to survive in the Middle East of all places for all of this time and built the Iron Dome on top of that, I'd say that they've been putting the money to good use.

If we hadn't been bankrolling Israel's military for all of this time then they would have been utterly and completely curb-stomped by everyone around them a long, long time ago, and we would have lost the only mention-worthy ally we have in that region of the world. Every other country around them hates us so much that most of them routinely run around chanting, "Death to America!" and the fucking slogan for the Houthi in Yemen is, "God is the Greatest, Death to America, Death to Israel, Curse on the Jews, Victory to Islam"

The Middle East doesn't like us very much. Israel's kind of important, in that regard.

Israel loves us so much that they're ethnically cleansing European-Americans.

How and where is Israel ethnically cleansing white Americans? I'm not a huge fan of Israel myself but I don't have a clue what you're talking about here

The people of Israel's involvement in the ADL, the SPLC, and dozens of other organizations pushing for more immigration, against free speech, etc.

The EU put out their migration replacement idea without Israel, you don't need to blame that one on the big bad Joos, just white guilt and a misguided attempt to keep countries relevant economically.

Nope, it's entirely Jewish. Look at the countries in Europe which are the most advanced in terms of population replacement: France and the UK. Both have the largest Jewish populations.

Also, white guilt was essentially born out of the Jewish control of the media.

Probably from the many wars in the Middle East we're fighting on their behalf because Jews aren't sure whether an afterlife exists or not and wouldn't want to waste their own blood, but even then that's not exactly "ethnic cleansing". Just a bunch of shitty wars that can be put to a halt or de-escalated once the right administration is in power.

Lol nigger please.

You say this like we don't already know that a rich Jew and an unfuckable lardass orchestrated this whole thing. But did it ever occur to you that this might be part of the plan? Shitskins from the Mid-East and specifically those from parts designated "Greater Israel" flood Europe, European Jews feel the pressure and leave for Israel, propaganda about Israel being a safehaven for Jews spreads leading to Jews fleeing to Israel and fill in the Greater Israel territories that were easily conquered thanks to depopulation, and then Europeans decide to initiate the Tarrent Doctrine and genocide shitskins, leaving only the women and children to fend for themselves while the Israelis bulldoze them into mass graves.

Also, white guilt was essentially born out of the Jewish control of the media.

Eh... You're kind of right about that one.

Israel exists as a live weapons system test. Where else can the US test missile defense systems so easily?

And if they fail then some Jews die, it's a win win.

Israel not important. The middle East not important. Only China important.

Arabs: We're going to fuck this goat that is Israel.
World: If you do we will punish you.
Arabs: Ok.
Arabs: We will just stand around the goat and stroke our cocks. No intentions.
UN: no big deal
Israel: waaah

Much as how the SJW hipster tard thinks that everything they don't like is the fault of Gamergate and straight white males, the Alt-Right /pol/ tard thinks everything they don't like is the fault of the Jews.

Horseshoe Theory is proven correct once again.

Astroturf! You know who's behind that, don't ya? THE JEWS!

It's because the Jews hate real grass...


Seriously though, The Squad and their statements regarding Israel lend further credence to the idea that the far left is every bit as antisemitic as the far right, but are simply better at disguising it.

Nah, I'm just a centrist old-school liberal but that's not really important.

What is important is how the DNC will throw The Squad under the bus and when it will happen?

Pressley might have a shot at a long-term career if she keeps her mouth shut after 2020 and abandons her leftist stances as she gets older since she is the most quiet and least gaffe-prone of The Squad

AOC might still have some value until the 2020 Election cycle is over, so I honestly don't see the DNC throwing her under the bus until after 2020 unless she says or does something that is exceptionally stupid even for her.

She'll probably get the boot in 2022 when another Democrat primaries against her or her district gets gerrymandered out of existence.

As for Omar and Talib?

Yeah, they're fucked six ways from sundown if they keep sperging over Israel and will probably be thrown out in 2020 when a more reasonable candidate primaries against them with the implicit backing of the DNC.

Do you not think the ADL and SPLC are run and funded by jews?
Horseshoe theory is probably the stupidest thing I have ever heard of. "These authoritarian groups are both authoritarian so they're exactly the same!" lmao ok...

I don't think the DNC will risk an ouster of the four brown women of the apocalypse until they control the executive again. They can't risk pouring water on their base unless they tack hard to center which I don't see happening this or next year.

edit:
Come on dude it isn't exactly a secret

The Anti-Defamation League (ADL; formerly known as the Anti-Defamation League of B'nai B'rith) is an international Jewish non-governmental organization based in the United States. The ADL states that its mission is to "[fight] anti-Semitism and all forms of bigotry, [defend] democratic ideals, and [defend] civil rights for all", doing so through "information, education, legislation, and advocacy".[1][2][failed verification]

Read their mission statement
Btw the organization's first case was to defend a jewish business owner who raped and murdured a 13 year old girl. Once again straight from the horse's mouth
