"I learned a long time ago that when change happens it's either because people see the light or they feel the fire."

"We're lifting up these stories in the hopes that you will see the light. And if you don't, we will bring the fire."

1. I'll be impressed when she actually proves the "fire" part...

As with AOC, she's in an absolutely safe (D+34) district; let's see her strength elsewhere.

3. Don't worry.

One might only get slightly singed from the comfort of their Brooklyn Penthouse.

6. Well, it's actually a townhouse...

...but that means plenty of room on the roof to stock boiling oil for when the working class mob comes...

7. Great feigning of speculative skepticism.

8. What speculation?

The Justice Democrats et. al. had a mediocre impact on the 2018 Election:

In the 2018 elections, 26 of the 79 candidates endorsed by Justice Democrats won their respective primary elections. Seven of these candidates won in the general election: Raúl Grijalva, Ro Khanna, Ayanna Pressley, Rashida Tlaib, Ilhan Omar, Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, and Pramila Jayapal. Districts won ranged from D+13 to D+34 on the Cook PVI, indicative of a majority Democratic voting population. No swing districts were won. -- Wikipedia

If she wants to advocate policy, great. If she's going to threaten, show me some data from a competitive district and we'll talk.

2. I Appreciate The Fact That She Went

but what took she and her colleagues so long...this has been going on a long time
