Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez. Photoshop or real pose? (The Maine Wirre)<\/span><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

A senior advisor to Senator Bernard Sander’s presidential run voiced hope with what Alexandria Cortez could do. She is one of the representatives of the Democratic Party’s far left. She is also seen as one of those who could quickly shift the Democratic Party further to the left. This advisor described the establishment Democratic Party as “do nothing, corrupt, and status quo protectors.”<\/p>\n

From the Washington Times:<\/span><\/p>\n

To the delight of some and disgust of others, Ms. Ocasio-Cortez is no wallflower within the halls of Congress.<\/p>\n

She has pushed Democratic leaders, inspired grassroots activists and drawn fire from Republicans with her calls for Medicare for All, the Green New Deal, and the abolition of Immigration and Customs Enforcement.<\/p>\n

Ms. Ocasio-Cortez co-founded the “Squad” with three other unapologetically liberal congresswomen who rose up out of the 2018 elections from minority communities and have demanded systematic change.<\/p>\n

Serving as a surrogate to Mr. Sanders, the 30-year-old flashed her budding star power on the national stage in the presidential primary race by attracting massive crowds to campaign events.<\/p>\n

Before anything happens, Ms. Ocasio-Cortez must defend her seat Tuesday against three challengers, including Michelle Caruso-Cabrera, a former business journalist and CNBC host.<\/p>\n

In her closing campaign ad, Ms. Ocascio-Cortez is telling voters that the fallout from COVID-19, mass unemployment and racism in law enforcement have exposed a broken system of governance.<\/p>\n

“What if these broken systems weren’t built to last in the first place? What if a better world is possible?” she says in a campaign ad. “People are coming together in an unprecedented movement to build this better future and a better world.<\/p>\n

“It is time to bring the movement to the voting booth,” she says.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Unlike her Democratic primary challenger in 2018 and the one that she is facing now, Charles Schumer has nourished a support network for a couple of decades. He would be a much tougher nut to crack if Alexandria Cortez attempted to unseat him in the primaries.<\/p>\n
