Uh huh HopeAgain Jul 2018 #5
Crowley is passive-aggressively occupying a 3rd party spot on the ballot AtomicKitten Jul 2018 #145
He may beat her in the general because the primary was low turnout. This guy is an old Demsrule86 Jul 2018 #150
After the shitshow that was the 2016 Democratic primary, AtomicKitten Jul 2018 #156
AOC won through the same undemocratic radius777 Jul 2018 #185
Passive aggressively refusing her aggressive demands to die, move, commit a crime or election fraud. Ninsianna Jul 2018 #160

Wait. I was told Crowley was such a loyal Democrat leftstreet Jul 2018 #2
No, he isn't. comradebillyboy Jul 2018 #9
his name is on the Working Families Party line and he refuses to remove it. scipan Jul 2018 #120
Like most adults RandySF Jul 2018 #19
He's going to be on the ballot in November though, which will siphon votes from her. scipan Jul 2018 #121
Exactly! Some rules don't apply for some "unknown" reason. InAbLuEsTaTe Jul 2018 #178

What are you talking about? nt NCTraveler Jul 2018 #28
He's not running as a third party candidate. emulatorloo Jul 2018 #86
then he needs to take his name off the ballot. scipan Jul 2018 #122
This scenario happens in New York State quite often, NY_20th Jul 2018 #125
Sorry, I don't know who is avoiding whose phone call. scipan Jul 2018 #133
He's reached out to her two or three times. NY_20th Jul 2018 #140
Just how do you define "running against her" scipan Jul 2018 #148
Getting off the ballot is not as easy as you believe. NY_20th Jul 2018 #161
He has tried a few times, for some reason they never connected. It's not his duty to continue... George II Jul 2018 #198
Yeah, she is getting really bad advice on this. NY_20th Jul 2018 #199

So he can tweet? BeyondGeography Jul 2018 #12
He says her team hasn't followed through on scheduled phone calls mcar Jul 2018 #17
Have you seen this New York Law, mcar? Cha Jul 2018 #59
Complicated mcar Jul 2018 #62
I guessing because she doesn't know the law.. otherwise Cha Jul 2018 #64
I think they both know the law. Crowley is refusing to do what's necessary scipan Jul 2018 #123
It's not that difficult for there to be unity here. NY_20th Jul 2018 #126
then he should get his name off the ballot against her. scipan Jul 2018 #132

Where is this stuff coming from? herding cats Jul 2018 #190
Die, move, commit a crime or election fraud? Ninsianna Jul 2018 #162
I liked and admired her drive, NY_20th Jul 2018 #165
"why is this deeply unethical crap being done by the new star..." scipan Jul 2018 #170
No, he is not the only one who thinks that. NY_20th Jul 2018 #177
Probably because press coverage of her campaign comradebillyboy Jul 2018 #76
Seems petty to me mcar Jul 2018 #79
It's very petty. It won't win her any freinds outside of comradebillyboy Jul 2018 #82
Not particularly smart, either kcr Jul 2018 #106
+1, which is odd, because she seemed to be very conversant in R B Garr Jul 2018 #134

You are incorrect. NCTraveler Jul 2018 #50
So silly ChubbyStar Jul 2018 #60
Yeah. That is exactly what they were doing with their multiple replies. NCTraveler Jul 2018 #66

Damn straight, brer... she was fanning Flames Cha Jul 2018 #72

According to the NYT, there's a quirk in the system. lapucelle Jul 2018 #18
Mahalo, lapucelle, for the information! Cha Jul 2018 #23
This is why Ocasio's inexperience and tendency to see conspiracy everywhere worries me Blue_Tires Jul 2018 #54
It is worrisome, but it actually doesn't surprise me based on some key R B Garr Jul 2018 #135
But if he's going to lose both elections anyway.... vi5 Jul 2018 #24
If you read the above paragraph RandySF Jul 2018 #32
Perhaps Crowley wants to keep his options open for running in future elections. lapucelle Jul 2018 #37
Under NY law RandySF Jul 2018 #47
No that is not true. Voltaire2 Jul 2018 #191
The party put his name on their line because they align with democrats and expected him to win Blue_true Jul 2018 #85

Our politics don't allow for nuance. And our politics are garbage. joshcryer Jul 2018 #112
Crowley answered back and said he's not octoberlib Jul 2018 #6
Correct. Seems like she has a problem with the person she just defeated. Seen this before. tonyt53 Jul 2018 #11
I was thinking the same thing. Skidmore Jul 2018 #14
Yes. It seems this is some kind of formula other than R B Garr Jul 2018 #136

Is this really necessary? That race is over. Run against the repug. brush Jul 2018 #16
The Democratic Party must be furious that there will be a third party candidate on the ballot... vi5 Jul 2018 #22
Including Cortez's Reform Party nomination in a neighboring district? RandySF Jul 2018 #27
Her nomination was not at her doing - she was written in by voters. She is not on the ballot. She Nanjeanne Jul 2018 #98
The facts don't matter to some. InAbLuEsTaTe Jul 2018 #182

Like what? RandySF Jul 2018 #84

Sounds like he's making excuses Trumpocalypse Jul 2018 #61
Oh, the Daily News? Well, never mind kcr Jul 2018 #100
Then read the Times article Trumpocalypse Jul 2018 #101
I did. kcr Jul 2018 #103
It also states Trumpocalypse Jul 2018 #104
Yeah. And none of that equals mounting a 3rd party challenge. kcr Jul 2018 #105
Maybe Trumpocalypse Jul 2018 #107
It only sounds like that because he's being smeared kcr Jul 2018 #108
He's not being smeared Trumpocalypse Jul 2018 #109
He isn't pretending. It's a fact. kcr Jul 2018 #111
Not a sham workaround Trumpocalypse Jul 2018 #115
He's. Not. Running. kcr Jul 2018 #158
The. He should take his name off the ballot. Trumpocalypse Jul 2018 #171
The problem with all your comments is, he's not running. He's not campaigning. That undercuts stevenleser Jul 2018 #113
He's still on the ballot Trumpocalypse Jul 2018 #116
And RandySF provided links as to why that was and his links make sense. Your links dont make sense. stevenleser Jul 2018 #118
Not running yet Trumpocalypse Jul 2018 #127

That's what an inexperienced candidate throws up, unfortunately. Best thing she could do now, is OnDoutside Jul 2018 #46
But Crowley said he isn't running? Blue_Tires Jul 2018 #49

Two points RandySF Jul 2018 #80
Not true Trumpocalypse Jul 2018 #89
Yes true. Afraid it all falls on deaf ears. Nanjeanne Jul 2018 #96
There does seem to be a very Trumpocalypse Jul 2018 #99
Explain this then.. Cha Jul 2018 #181
Yes because tweets by anonymous people are so reliable. Trumpocalypse Jul 2018 #186

Is he mounting a third party challenge? If so, I agree with Ms. Ocasio-Cortez. Vinca Jul 2018 #90
You be the judge. He has no workers doing anything, he's not making speeches, he's not attending stevenleser Jul 2018 #130
Crowley needs to do whatever is necessary to help the Democrat Ocasio-Cortez win Power 2 the People Jul 2018 #94
Well said nt Trumpocalypse Jul 2018 #95
The evidence is, he is doing everything he can legally do. He's not campaigning. If he was really stevenleser Jul 2018 #114
The truth is, even if he somehow waved a magic wand and made his name disappear? kcr Jul 2018 #163
Nice try, but that title is precisely backwards Tarc Jul 2018 #97
This is some next level bullshit. joshcryer Jul 2018 #110
It looks like Ocasio made up the third party thing Nero Mero Jul 2018 #117
He's not running. And that's why what Ocasio and those defending her statements are saying doesnt stevenleser Jul 2018 #119
They want him to disappear completely. joshcryer Jul 2018 #128
Crowley doesn't believe in election fraud, radius777 Jul 2018 #141

All of your hatred for Jill Stein and Susan Sarandon yet you're doing the same thing to Ocasio Power 2 the People Jul 2018 #143
You have to say something that is not true...run for an office you don't even live in the district.. Demsrule86 Jul 2018 #152
