I didn't watch the debate, but I did get a ridiculous campaign flyer from MCC today. I'm not the biggest AOC fan, but I respect her conviction and overall beliefs. This flyer was from her "Democratic" primary opponent, quoting articles from the National Review and Washington Examiner, two highly conservative rags. While National Review has history of being reasonable/intellectual conservatism, it is not that anymore. The Washington Examiner is Fox News-ish, with articles from today like "Ivanka Trump's Commencement Speech was Cancelled because Social Justice is a Disease." The articles quoted talked about how AOC was hiding in her luxury DC condo, which they went out of their way to stress, 'doesn't let poor people in'. I'm so tired of this stupid narrative that Democrats who care about social justice can't live in luxury condos or something like that. And by 'not letting poor people in' they were saying there aren't subsidized units like there are in many NYC developments.
I'd absolutely welcome a legitimate Democratic primary challenger to AOC, but MCC isn't that. I'd almost certainly have voted for AOC anyway, but MCC's flyer sealed the deal for me.
