In reply to the discussion: Democratic socialist Melat Kiros defeats longtime US House incumbent in Colorado [View all]luv2fly
(2,807 posts)3. Congrats to Melat Kiros
The country needs more intelligent, progressive, energetic and driven Democrats. I wish her only well.
The country is hungry for change. Let's capitalize on that and not piss on the success of the DSA.

Bernie endorsed her, but AOC backed DeGette. I think that says something to all the MSM

AOC did not endorse DeGette. DeGette ran a misleading advert that implied she did.

Nor it one for you to try to assert control over all others. Go bother someone else. I'm sure they will be equally

You are the one trying to assert control over others by trying to tell them what to do.

Continue. Most would find it foolish to keep interjecting in a long-ended discussion to which you were not a part

WHERE IS THE PROOF that AOC (IN WRITING) ENDORSED KIRIS? Yet, you insinuate I AM LYING?!!!

I never once claimed AOC endorsed Kiros. AOC did not endorse anyone in this particular primary race.

I have made no accusations whatsoever about you. I just disagree about the AOC endorsing DeGette claim.

AOC and Khanna were being respectful to a fellow colleague whom they worked with in the past

Colorado's 1st District is very very blue and widely considered to be the safest Democratic seat in the entire state.

The Democratic base is done being frustrated, done being steered into the shoals by political strategists.
