The upcoming second term House member from NYC is on House Speaker Pelosi and Senate Minority leader Schumer’s case about not pushing more ‘next generation’ Democrats to take THEIR jobs?
With the election over….
Internal Democratic politics swings into action….
She’s right…
The Democratic leadership in Congress IS old….
But they aren’t gonna just give up their jobs the rest of their parties members want them to stay and run the place….
And to AOC’s chagrin….
Her party’s fellow law members are NOT in a hurry to elevate left leaning progressives anytime soon…..
“I do think that we need new leadership in the Democratic Party,” Ocasio-Cortez (D-N.Y.) told The Intercept in an interview published Wednesday. Spokespeople for Pelosi and Schumer did not immediately return an email seeking comment on Ocasio-Cortez’s interview.
The remarks from the freshman congresswoman and superstar of the party’s left wing represented her most direct attack yet on Pelosi and Schumer, andcome as Democrats are locked in a fierce debate over their broader message following a disappointing showing in 2020 congressional races across the country.
Schumer, who is 70 years old, was reelected as leader of the Senate Democratic Caucus last month, and Pelosi is positioned to be reelected as speaker in January — all but ensuring the House Democratic Caucus will continue to be governed by the same octogenarian triumvirate that has occupied the party’s top three leadership roles for the past 14 years: the 80-year-old Pelosi, 81-year-old House Majority Leader Steny Hoyer, and 80-year-old House Majority Whip James Clyburn (D-S.C.)…..

The Election is over.
And as to Ocasio-Cortez?
James is at it again!
Hey Jack?
Say ur working somewhere for a long time
You have the hang of the place….
Making good money….
Then some newbie shows up….
Says she wants YOUR JOB….
WANT’s you to ‘step aside’
WTF would YOU SAY?
Sure I’ll just give up my job?
The democratic leadership in BOTH Houses gets elected by their peers….
AOC has the right to complain…
But like the elections ?
Cept in Blue left leaning districts?
They ain’t all that the media makes them
I’ll say it again so maybe you can understand.
If her name were Smith?You Wouldnt deign to notice her.
She’s Hispanic and tart tongued and that drives an old establishment type like you crazy.
Good for AOC !
It’s past time that these oldsters step aside for some younger blood.Maybe not AOC or her sisters but the party needs younger people stepping into leadership positions.
Oh and please don’t patronize me by one of your idiotically obvious “observations “ that Pelosi and Schumer will be re-elected.I know that.
‘Tis the pity.
Interesting …
U did NOT answer my question….
U make the revenue to ethnic background
Not me…
This to me is about trying to impose ur agenda
What question?
That piece of idiocy?
It was incoherent and irrelevant to anything.
I wouldn’t waste my time.
I reiterate everything I said about you.
You are as transparent as a plate glass window.
And oh yes I find your obsession with AOC,very Republican-like and very “interesting.”
