Ocasio-Cortez already won--and not in a close victory either--when going up against one of the most "establishment" Democrats in the country (Crowley was Chair of the House Democratic Caucus!), who scored a lot of endorsements from top Democrats and big liberal groups, and outspent her more than 17-to-1. I'm not sure exactly what you think Pelosi is capable of doing that Ocasio-Cortez hasn't already been victorious over.Some may call me foolish, and some may call me odd

I leave you to ponder who percentage of the US is both white and male by contrast, and the extent to which this means the Republican party is now a party of identity politics that runs to the White Evangelical Male identity while the Dems are the party of "everybody else".
Sparko will be thrilled to see the pirate there. But the lack of diversity in the Republican group is kind of telling... very much the party of white male evangelical identity politics. Democrats have become the "everybody else" party."I hate him passionately", he's "a demonic force" - Tucker Carlson, in private, on Donald Trump
