Guys like Joe Crowley have no future as Democrats.
The legacy of Hillary Clinton’s 2016 defeat is that heterosexual white male Democrats are rapidly becoming an endangered species:
Rep. Joe Crowley, one of the top Democrats in the House of Representatives, lost his New York primary in a shocking upset on Tuesday night to community organizer Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez.
Crowley, having fundraised nearly $3 million for the race in New York’s 14th District, fell easily to a first-time candidate with a viral introduction video, a Democratic Socialists of America membership card, and a proudly leftist agenda. She ran on Medicare-for-all, a federal jobs guarantee, and getting tough on Wall Street. The race was called just before 10 pm for Ocasio-Cortez. . . .
Crowley, who has been in Congress since 1999, is the No. 4 Democrat in the House and was widely viewed as an eventual successor to Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi. Though he was a stalwart progressive on nearly every issue, he also had close ties to Wall Street. This made him a formidable fundraiser, something that Ocasio-Cortez turned against Crowley in the primary. She eventually fundraised about $600,000 through small-dollar donors.
Crowley outspent his primary opponent 5-to-1, but he’s a heterosexual white male and she’s a Puerto Rican woman who labeled him a symbol of the “political patriarchy.” Having made identity politics the basis of their last three presidential campaigns — the first black president, then the first female (almost) president — Democrats have been taken over by “intersectionality” and candidates spewing the kind of jargon you used to have to take a college Gender Studies class to learn.
Socialists like Aleandria Ocasio-Cortez now control the Democrat Party.
The Democrats are now anti-white, anti-male and anti-heterosexuality, not to mention anti-capitalist and ultimately, anti-American.
