Apparently Crowley didn't get the message. LiberalFighter Jul 2018 #1
Joe Crowley has already conceded.. it's AOC who made the "mistake".. Cha Jul 2018 #64
I wonder if an apology will be forthcoming? George II Jul 2018 #67
Seems it's been on the downlow.. mustn't Cha Jul 2018 #68
Class indeed. It would. But will she? NurseJackie Jul 2018 #109
It is possible we will see more and more that it is individuals running for office vs a party Equinox Moon Jul 2018 #2
He's not "running third party". He has thrown his support to AOC emulatorloo Jul 2018 #10
What is "AOC"? Equinox Moon Jul 2018 #11
"AOC" are the initials of Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez's name emulatorloo Jul 2018 #12
AOC tweet: "...he's mounting a 3rd party challenge against me and the Democratic Party..." Equinox Moon Jul 2018 #15
And Crowley tweet reiterates that he supports her and is not running 3rd party emulatorloo Jul 2018 #18
"..called Crowley's team Thursday to admit the information she blasted out on twitter was "a mistake Cha Jul 2018 #65
She is mistaken. And used it as a fundraising ploy... bettyellen Jul 2018 #77
That seems to be a bit deceptive. NurseJackie Jul 2018 #110
Between the nonsense about "dark money" and people calling Emily's List "the establishment" bettyellen Jul 2018 #112
I chuckle every time I hear them use "the establishment" as a pejorative. NurseJackie Jul 2018 #113
I explained to a friend that they're just slighting people who stand up for human rights- and bettyellen Jul 2018 #114
That phrase is straight out of the 60s protest movement and a certain... brush Jul 2018 #128
I am so pissed at the NY Times ever since the WMD garbage. They have been stiring this kind of crap still_one Jul 2018 #17
NYT Working for Putin now? lagomorph777 Jul 2018 #53
no, but stirring the pot unecessarily to gain readership still_one Jul 2018 #55
In typical NYT fashion, it's not the full story RandySF Jul 2018 #3
It's not? Well fill us in then tkmorris Jul 2018 #4
More info in an earlier thread: emulatorloo Jul 2018 #7
I don't have time and you seem wound up for a fight RandySF Jul 2018 #8
He's a democrat recentevents Jul 2018 #5
He is supporting Ocasio-Cortez. He Isn't running third party. emulatorloo Jul 2018 #13
Her inexperience is showing. She's overreacting to an inaccurate... brush Jul 2018 #54
He IS supporting her. Pay attention, FFS. NT Adrahil Jul 2018 #41
FFS? recentevents Jul 2018 #58
The links that have been provided to you explain it all. sheshe2 Jul 2018 #78
I guess you haven't been keeping up on the "recent events". George II Jul 2018 #73
Lol sheshe2 Jul 2018 #80
yeah, so clever recentevents Jul 2018 #81
Lots of peeps make fun of mine. sheshe2 Jul 2018 #83

Welcome to DU. If you consider that an "insult", stick around for a while. You should see what.... George II Jul 2018 #85

Danger Of Splitting The Vote Progressive2020 Jul 2018 #6
Democrats outnumber Republicans 6:1 in the district. lapucelle Jul 2018 #38
The Republican is not the issue. former9thward Jul 2018 #116
Dead people routinely win elections in the US? lapucelle Jul 2018 #118
Yes. former9thward Jul 2018 #120
The Democrats in the 14th will vote for the Democrat lapucelle Jul 2018 #121
What would you expect her to say? former9thward Jul 2018 #122
Less than 4200 vote margin isn't "smoking". George II Jul 2018 #123
I would expect the candidate to tell the truth. lapucelle Jul 2018 #134
The last time someone who died during a campaign was elected, as far as I know... George II Jul 2018 #124
Most of the time you don't hear about it because the election is not high profile. former9thward Jul 2018 #125
So now to bolster your position you're using the right-wing" argument: George II Jul 2018 #127
Sorry to bring you to reality. former9thward Jul 2018 #129
They obviously did not smear nor crush Obama, since he went on to be Senator. SunSeeker Jul 2018 #133
Sorry to bring you back to reality. former9thward Jul 2018 #135
No, you have the wrong take about that. Obama made rookie mistakes that he learned from. SunSeeker Jul 2018 #136
"rookie mistakes" former9thward Jul 2018 #137
Politics is all about relationships. SunSeeker Jul 2018 #138
He's no worry bucolic_frolic Jul 2018 #9
F**K THE NY TIMES. I will wait tell I hear from a reliable source. The NY TIMES is NO LONGER a still_one Jul 2018 #14
The NYT is a reliable source. Crowley could fix this by working to remove his name from the ballot Tarc Jul 2018 #19
You think that HEADLINE from the NY Times is accurate. You can have your NY Times. still_one Jul 2018 #20
nice to see a politician who knows to steer clear of the twitter cesspool nt msongs Jul 2018 #22
Apparently, not. That would have been the end of the Working Families Party, for me. Mc Mike Jul 2018 #16
from the article: scipan Jul 2018 #21
I think Crowley just wants some damn respect. joshcryer Jul 2018 #23
I would hesitate to trust a politician to take himself out of running. scipan Jul 2018 #32
He has until September 19. joshcryer Jul 2018 #33
well, it would help if he called her and conceeded. n/t scipan Jul 2018 #34
He conceded the night of the election. joshcryer Jul 2018 #35
Right, he reached out but didn't connect, yet he's being slammed for not doing so! George II Jul 2018 #43
It would help if she didn't make horrible accusations against a man on record as supporting her - bettyellen Jul 2018 #79
So what happens Sept 19? scipan Jul 2018 #36
Last day for ballot changes according to the calendar. joshcryer Jul 2018 #37
Yes, the nomination for another position is a well-established New York gimmick Jim Lane Jul 2018 #24
Announcing his principle residence as Alexandria would absolutely work. joshcryer Jul 2018 #26
Crowley may want to run for office in the future in New York. lapucelle Jul 2018 #39
Why should he change his residence simply to satisfy whim of someone else? He lives in Queens.... George II Jul 2018 #42
He grew up in Queens, went to Powers Memorial HS in the Bronx, lapucelle Jul 2018 #57
That last thought is eerily familiar. George II Jul 2018 #60
I'm familiar with the campus. lapucelle Jul 2018 #66
Apparently the source of the frequently debunked lapucelle Jul 2018 #72
:) Even the RW NY Post thinks Ocasio is overdoing her attacks Hortensis Jul 2018 #93
The NYP used their reliable "Red Alert" headline the day after AOC won lapucelle Jul 2018 #94
Agitprop for right and left, stirring the pot... Hortensis Jul 2018 #96
I live the next county over lapucelle Jul 2018 #98
Oh, best of luck on unseating those two. Hortensis Jul 2018 #101
I'm sure she'll be listening to local voices as well as to Corbin Trent, lapucelle Jul 2018 #104
Good heavens. :) Thanks for the chuckle. Hortensis Jul 2018 #107
Gaming the system in these ways carries no opprobrium Jim Lane Jul 2018 #44
It's stunning that anyone would propse lapucelle Jul 2018 #50
There's nothing stunning about admitting that he no longer lives in the district. Jim Lane Jul 2018 #52
If she campaigned on the idea that he lost touch with the districr lapucelle Jul 2018 #56
As I said, she'll likely win even if he's splitting the vote. Jim Lane Jul 2018 #61
The fact is he DOES live in the district. It's an insult that anyone would claim he doesn't. George II Jul 2018 #87
Maybe you're insulting him by claiming he's abandoned his children, who live in Virginia. Jim Lane Jul 2018 #90
Thankfully I live in the real world. George II Jul 2018 #103
Bernie has a house in the Washington area. Do you claim he R B Garr Jul 2018 #115
Of course not, and no one who read my post fairly could think so. (n/t) Jim Lane Jul 2018 #119
Your post had only one real fact to it by your own admission. R B Garr Jul 2018 #131
More's the pity that Ocasio-Cortez swallowed, then regurgitated, this rat-fucking "scandal". OilemFirchen Jul 2018 #25
She created this "scandal." Ironically, she could easily sue to have him off the ballot. joshcryer Jul 2018 #27
That is what it sounds like to me, and the media is only too willing to accomodate and distort this still_one Jul 2018 #28
Perhaps. OilemFirchen Jul 2018 #29
Exactly. We know he'll get at most 1% of the votes or something like that. joshcryer Jul 2018 #30
It's unseemly, too. OilemFirchen Jul 2018 #31
Exactly. And now we see she is campaigning against incumbent R B Garr Jul 2018 #132
She knew BEFORE the Primary that he was going to be the WFP candidate. Maybe before she.... George II Jul 2018 #40
So what was she supposed to do? Jim Lane Jul 2018 #45
What is she supposed to do? Nothing. And that includes NOT complaining about something.... George II Jul 2018 #46
It is NOT built into the election law that Crowley MUST stay on the ballot against the Democrat. Jim Lane Jul 2018 #47
So you're calling for him to change his legal residence and, along with it, his voter registration? George II Jul 2018 #49
Precisely. He would change his legal residence to match his actual residence. Jim Lane Jul 2018 #51
It seems that for some, stripping a person of their home and identity lapucelle Jul 2018 #59
Cool the hyperbole. His actual home is in Virginia. Jim Lane Jul 2018 #63
... lapucelle Jul 2018 #69
BS. He grew up in Queens, he went to school in Queens (HS in the Bronx), college in Queens, and.... George II Jul 2018 #71
Apparently, some people put more faith in a debunked lapucelle Jul 2018 #74
If that story were "true", then probably about 95% of all Representatives and Senators.... George II Jul 2018 #75
If you have a purported debunking, please share. Jim Lane Jul 2018 #84
If Crowley runs for office again, New Yorkers like me will remember the work he has done. lapucelle Jul 2018 #92
So the "right wing talking point" is true. Jim Lane Jul 2018 #95
No, the right wing, anti-Democratic Party talking point is not true. lapucelle Jul 2018 #99
Asking Crowley to move is a true sign of weakness on the part of AOC Gothmog Jul 2018 #102
It seems Ocasio-Cortez is a fan of double standards. KitSileya Jul 2018 #91
Some are even asserting that it's "hyperbolic" to characterize demands lapucelle Jul 2018 #100
That is just a flat-out lie. Jim Lane Jul 2018 #105
She had a ready-made way to get out of the second nomination. KitSileya Jul 2018 #106
"Maybe before she starts" Tarc Jul 2018 #48
Thank you recentevents Jul 2018 #62
At this point, he can not remove his name................ riversedge Jul 2018 #76
AOC is the one who Accused Joe Crowley of "mounting" Cha Jul 2018 #70
If he does not take steps to remove his name, then he effectively is mounting one Tarc Jul 2018 #88
OAC was Wrong to accuse him on Twitter.. her campaign admitted the "mistake".. Cha Jul 2018 #89
Will Crowley and AOC both be on the Nov General ballot yodermon Jul 2018 #82
As of now, yes, they will. Jim Lane Jul 2018 #86
it is funny to see DonCoquixote Jul 2018 #126
Except he's not actually running third party. No rallys. No Ads. No Phone Banking. He endorsed AOC emulatorloo Jul 2018 #130
