The Democrats’ game plan for electing more far leftists to the House
It might alienate the rest of America, but this is the plan
Following is a way it might be possible for the far left to gain more power, particularly in the House, even if the majority of America and even the majority of Democrats do not support far left politics and are completely turned off by the current Squad.
Step 1: Find a congressional district that’s bluer than blue, where any Democratic nominee is a shoo-in to be elected.
Step 2: Locate one in which the current Democratic representative has some weaknesses. Maybe he or she is a bit too stale, having been around really long. Maybe he or she is a bit too white—or, for the “he’s”, a bit too male or too heterosexual.
Step 3: Recruit a far left candidate from a favored demographic that is a designated victim group: black, Hispanic, Muslim, female, or a combination of as many of those characteristics as possible.
Step 4: It helps if the new candidate is physically attractive, telegenic, and/or relatively young.
Step 5: Primary the current Democratic representative.
Step 6: In the primary, count on only the most leftist activists to show up in any significant numbers. It’s best if the turnout is less than a third of eligible voters, which is often the case in a primary in a place where there’s an incumbent whom people assume will win against his or her Democratic challengers, particularly if they are extremists.
Step 7: Win the primary. Once you do that, you’re home free, because the Republican (if there even is one running) has just about zero chance of winning against any Democrat in this particular district.
Then do it again. And again.
It can be done in the Senate, too, in true-blue states. But the House is much easier.
That’s that plan, anyway, although it may not work.

Who knew the green in the green new deal was a reference to their vomit and they are looking for demo dogs to swallow it hook, line, and stinker?
Just every right thinking patriot!
I think it’s not a coincidence that it’s the color of Hamas.
What Neo outlines is a guarantee of the Democrat Party’s soon to be “extinction” as surely as they are dinosaurs already.
Here is a cautionary example for what makes the GOP so stupidly tone-deaf:

This as Arizona which is about as solid behind the 2nd amendment as any state! His proposed law would probably get vetoed by Jerry Brown who vetoed plenty of anti-gun legislation.
What makes Ducey believe that this will help him get re-elected? This guy needs to be recalled. Another reason to reconsider my plans to move to AZ. That list is growing too fast. AZ looks more and more like CA. Thank you GOP!!!
NM tried and failed to pass a red flag law but they did manage to get private sale background checks passed. And the result? WalMart no longer carries firearms in NM because the legislature mandated that EVERY FFL conduct private sale background checks. Oh… and firearms owners are ignoring the law because they can. Private sales are … private. We have no registry and the state doesn’t know how many firearms are in the state or who owns them.
Might be better titled “The Far Left’s plan to depose incumbent Democrats” – if only because the DNC took some measures to protect incumbents from being primaried.
Yes, this is Justice Democrats in action.
They are the power behind all 4 of those radical leftists in the photo above.
Someone needs to do a little more digging on the JDs and their funding aka Goergey Schwartz.
Here’s who they’re supporting:

They’re going for Susan Collins’ Senate seat in Maine!
I guess they hate hate hate that she stood up for decency and Brett Kavanaugh when it looked like the whole US Senate was going down the tubes.
You’ve described Massachusetts-1 to a T.
Step 1: Find a congressional district that’s bluer than blue. Every district in Massachusetts is one of those.
Step 2: Locate one in which the current Democratic representative has some weaknesses. Richard Neal has lots: male & a cis-male at that (to boot, he pretends to be a Catholic despite his abortion voting records), white, 70 years old; has accomplished nothing (allowing for the understanding that we don’t want Ds to accomplish anything as their policies are dreck).
Step 3: Recruit a far left candidate from a favored demographic that is a designated victim group. The current mayor of dump-city, welfare-dependent, failed-schools Holyoke Alex Morse is both young and a loud-&-proud homo, fully embracing every single wacko idea out there (including turning his city into the Marijuana Capital of New England; how’s that for being business-minded). Morse announced last week he’s taking on Neal.
In the 2018 election Neal had an equally loony D challenger, one Tahirah Amatul-Wadud. Yep, Muslim, female, a through-&-through leftist. Examples of supporters, Our Revolution National, Progressive Massachusetts, Our Revolution Massachusetts, National Women’s Political Caucus, Massachusetts Women’s Political Caucus, Progressive Democrats of America, Indivisible National Project, Franklin County Continuing the Political Revolution, Rise Up Western Mass, Williamsburg Indivisible, MoveOn Political Action
Still, Neal survived the primary, 71% to 29%. 2020 will be a lot closer for Neal.
Step 4: It helps if the new candidate is physically attractive, telegenic, and/or relatively young. Morse has the youth-thingy; not much else, including not many brains.
Step 5: Primary the current Democratic representative. That’s in the works now that Morse has announced.
Step 6: In the primary, count on only the most leftist activists to show up in any significant numbers. They don’t the Connecticut River valley Happy Valley for nothing. Northampton is basically Cambridge in the Berkshires.
Step 7: Every primary in Massachusetts is the general election. Truly hard to believe that MA was one of the original thirteen.
You sound as familiar with MA-1 as I am. Obviously that’s what Morse, who, like so, so many politicians, has never had a private sector job, plans on doing. Never have been in the private sector Morse therefore does not have the necessary perspective to understand how the economy works. So expect Morse who became a mayor at 22 to be a lifelong taker of a public paycheck. Like a Biden. Will follow the command-economy mindset: if government decrees it, the it will happen.
The only mitigating circumstance is that if Morse should oust Neal no vote balances will be upset. Neal voted lefty; Morse will vote lefty. All of Massachusetts votes lefty. What is wrong with this place?
Yep, ultra lefty Morse will be breathing down Neal’s neck for the next 15 months.
“Whereas Morse hopes to follow in the footsteps of Reps. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, D-N.Y., and Ayanna Pressley, D-Mass., who unseated Democratic incumbents in primaries last year, a source close to the Neal campaign said the congressman, a frequent presence in his large western Massachusetts district, is not about to face the same fate as their opponents.”
[Neal’s dreaming]
“Still, Morse believes that left-wing energy that propelled others into office will boost him, too.
“There’s something happening in this country,” he said. “We, particularly as progressives and young people, are watching what’s happening to our democracy right before our eyes.”

McGovern-itis (only MA for him in 1972) stalks this loony state.
A veritable brain fart trust in that picture.
Sound plan. Most big cities are bastions of anti-Americanism.
The back of Thelma & Louise’s convertible has a lot of room.
Fill it up.
It seems like far left Dem’s latest tactic will continue to alienate and cause defections of many more Dem voters in 2020. Similar to what drove Trump’s election.
I think it is flight 93 time. What happened on 9/11 was a one-fer. And I think that AOC will be the last of her type to slip through. The next one who tries it will end of in a filed in rural PA, just sayin.
It won’t be easy pickins the second time, like these COSTCO thieves thought when they went back the next day:

You described the exact way AOC got elected
Nita Lowery, Elliot Engel, and Jerry Nadler are all facing primary challenges in NY from the far left.
Nita Lowery’s seat? Wasn’t that promised to Chelsea? It’s written in the Constitution somewhere, or the Declaration.
I think it’s in The Satanic Bible
That would be appropriate. Alfonse D’Amato’s Senate seat was promised to Nita Lowey, but then Hillary Clinton showed up in the state and Lowey was told to take one for the team, in no uncertain terms. Hillary was nominated and won that Senate seat.
So it’s appropriate that a Clinton was supposed to get her House seat too!
Even Nadler? These Moron Democrats may clean up some troublesome incumbents. I love the smell of fratricide in the morning, like how Kirsten Gillibrand insisted on the demise of the far more effective leftist Al Franken.
It’s a nice thought, but highly unlikely. We saw in 2016 that the Democrat leadership was perfectly willing to cheat to elevate Hillary! over Bernie. Right now the Khmer Rouge wing of the Democrat Party (the Squad) lacks the power to out-cheat the Democrat leadership.
So the aging communist fossils have nothing to worry about. This time.
The difficulty of this plan (for the Khmer Rouge Democrats like the Squad) is the the old fart Soviet Central committee (the current Democrat Party leadership) just as willing to cheat against other Democrats as they are Republicans. They did it in 2016 to elevate Hillary! over Sanders.
The Khmer Rouge wing of the Democrat Party is not running their own party. Yet.
By all means, push a mass exodus from the party you call the D.
Step 1: Find a congressional district that’s bluer than blue, where any Democratic nominee is a shoo-in to be elected.
Such districts tend to be slums. See Cummings, E.
