Good complementary analysis herehttps://twitter.com/davidshor/status/1013687094496190464?s=21 …
So while Ocasio-Cortez and the voters living in the "gentrified/gentrifying areas" both benefited greatly from capitalism, they chose to turn to socialism to address the "problems" of capitalism. A little cognitive dissonance maybe?
Smart take, except the kids have note benefited from capitalism. Ocasio-Cortez herself was bartending until recently. They're buried in debt, facing skyrocketing rent, damn near impossible to start a family and buy something. They're struggling like their neighbors.
Running strong amongst gentrifying hipsters isn't really a great thing
Isn't really a great thing if @Ocasio2018 ran strong amongst ONLY gentrifying hipsters but that's not the case.
Oh I agree. But when I read the article Grim seemed impressed that she did best amongst gentrifying neighborhoods. One, that's hard to replicate nationally. Two, it's an odd thing to trumpet.
Oh, wasn’t meant as a trumpet and arguably it would be better for the left if the analysis was different. But it’s important to follow the data where it leads rather than where we may want it to go. (Not saying you’re doing that.)
Good points. Here's a good analysis backing up yourshttps://mobile.twitter.com/davidshor/status/1013687094496190464 …
When Gentrification Extremist Michael Bloomberg dies, the date of his death should be made a holiday called Squatters’ Day.
it was crystal clear on primary day after weeks of talking to people in Sunnysidehttps://twitter.com/arthurtarley/status/1011667624294518785 …
How about this for political analysis on the @Ocasio2018 win: “Woman who had far better ideas that appealed to her constituency and hustle won over guy who pulled a @HillaryClinton and thought it was owed to him.”?
Why Ocasio-Cortez’ Platform Is So Greathttp://davidswanson.org/why-ocasio-cortez-platform-is-so-great/ …
Please do as many @Ocasio2018 takes as you want. She is the most encouraging thing that has happened all year and we need every dose of her we can get.
lets be honest, you're still going to be writing about this after the midterms
Not like he will care about the other Dems who won on different policy proposals.
Former head of NAACP won an election, and y'all just ignored it https://twitter.com/BenJealous/status/1013596678950150146 … This is why Black folks don't come out in vote. Our ancestors helped build America and y'all treat us as if we immigrated here!
