Spearheaded by these young people to whom it comes naturally. Really, I believe to them (and to myself as well) it's not so much a "liberal" or "progressive" kind of political agenda, it's just logic and common sense stated as policy. People can can refer to this and label it anyways they wish but I call it: rational.

Votes being counted suggest AOC-endorsed progressive Tiffany Caban for Queens, NY D.A., who’s focused on criminal justice, prosecuting crime “less”... in overpoliced areas. She wants to reallocate limited resources to improve public health, focus on violent crime, ending cash bail for low level nonviolent crime. She has a narrow lead in the Dem primary.

One year after Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez stunned New York's democratic establishment -- beating a longtime incumbent in the primary -- the city is witnessing a new election shocker. Tiffany Cabán, a public defender running for District Attorney in the borough of Queens, was endorsed by AOC and is on the cusp of winning the primary.
