AOC Says She May Quit Politics
We couldn't be so lucky but she is upset that many dems blamed the progs for their down ballot losses.
Quote:AOC Says She Might Quit Politics, As Dems Blame Progressives for House Losses
Gosh, Sandy, we’ll miss you.

Via Business Insider.
Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez reportedly told the New York Times in an interview that she might quit politics, depending on the hostility of her own party towards progressive causes.
“I don’t even know if I want to be in politics,” she reportedly told The Times. “You know, for real, in the first six months of my term, I didn’t even know if I was going to run for re-election this year.”
The Bronx native said the Democratic party has been hostile to progressive causes, like Medicare for All and the Movement for Black Lives….
The interview happened Saturday, shortly after major news networks called the election for President-elect Joe Biden. While Biden won the presidency, Democrats down-ticket didn’t fare quite as well, with some centrist party leaders blaming progressive messaging for the loss of House seats….

Actually it would be $$s. Dems have so much money. They may be paying her to get out. Or at least maybe their Chinese owners may be paying them to pay her to get out.

RE: AOC Says She May Quit Politics
What professional, much less a Congresswoman, talks like this?
“I don’t even know if I want to be in politics,” she reportedly told The Times. “You know, for real, in the first six months of my term, I didn’t even know if I was going to run for re-election this year.”
What is a she 16 year old valley girl?
For real.
Totally.
Oh My God.

She is a leftist, therefore she is lying.

If she actually runs, serves a term or two, and then returns to civilian life to live under the laws she helped pass---I'd actually respect that aspect of her public service--even though I dont agree with her views at all. Too many make pursuit of government power their career. So, I'd actually be happy to see people serving short stints in Congress---which was more what the founding fathers envisioned that the House would be.

RE: AOC Says She May Quit Politics
I just think it is hilarious that she may get out because she's butthurt that other dems are blaming her and the squad for their downballot losses. They truly are pissed at the progs but that party has other problems and the fact that some talked about "defunding the police" or used the words "socialist" isn't all of it but just scraping the surface.
Many lifelong dems have abandoned them for at least this election because, as one said, "my party has lost it's damn mind!"

A scary thought, what if in 20 years AOC will be considered a moderate. The way things are going it could come true.

More than a million dollars is spent on house campaigns......the reason some are willing to do whatever to get this office - they wind up wealthy. She is just whining.....it’s about the same as those celebs that threaten to move to another country. Whining, all talk and no action.
She will be in until she gets gerrymandered out or dies at 80..........

Has she ever been in the minority party or has she always been under a Pelosi Speakership? Being in the minority party can be rough and boring

Not only will she not quit...She will be a millionaire by the time she ends her next term. Donald Trump will be easier to get to leave Washington than this bartender.

I heard that she already got Peloser's plastic surgeons number. She ain't going nowhere and don't be surprised if she winds up as another Peloser. I'm glad that I'd probably be dead by then, it means God has spared me from her wrath.
