Democrats just can stop fighting with each other. They no longer know how to work together.
And civil war breaks out within the Democrat Party and this top Leftist is to blame.
Congresswoman Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez is stirring up trouble within her own party again, this time slamming top Democrats like Chuck Schumer and Hakeem Jeffries for refusing to throw their weight behind Zohran Mamdani in the New York City mayor’s race. It’s a classic case of the radical left eating its own.
Ocasio-Cortez, a key player in the far-left “Squad,” pointed out her own loyalty to the Democratic machine. She reminded everyone that she backed Joe Biden in 2020 after he edged out her hero, Bernie Sanders, for the nomination.
“We have a Democratic nominee. Are we a party who rallies behind our nominee or not?,” Ocasio-Cortez said after being asked about Schumer and Jeffries not throwing their support towards Mamdani.
The socialist darling didn’t stop there, doubling down on the need for party unity after primaries. She’s clearly frustrated that the establishment isn’t falling in line with her progressive picks.
“Because what we do is we use our primary to settle our differences, and once we have a nominee we rally behind that nominee,” AOC said.
Ocasio-Cortez warned that this kind of disloyalty could backfire big time. She’s worried it sets a bad precedent for future elections, where Democrats might need everyone on board to push their radical agenda.
“I am very concerned about the example that is being set by anybody in our party … if an individual doesn’t want to support the party’s nominee now, it complicates their ability to ask voters to support any nominee later.”
Even New York Governor Kathy Hochul is sitting this one out, refusing to endorse Mamdani. This comes after the Queens assemblyman pulled off a surprise win in the June primary, knocking out disgraced former Governor Andrew Cuomo and other contenders.
Schumer, the Democrat minority leader in the Senate, and Jeffries, his House counterpart, have their eyes on bigger prizes. They’re laser-focused on flipping Congress back to blue in next year’s midterms, and cozying up to a socialist like Mamdani could torpedo that plan.
Republicans aren’t wasting any time exploiting this mess. They’re already painting Democrats in competitive districts with the same brush as Mamdani, highlighting his extreme views on democratic socialism and past calls to defund the police—ideas that play terribly in middle America.
Mamdani has tried to walk back some of his radical stances, now claiming he doesn’t support slashing police budgets. But the damage is done, and it’s forcing moderates to run for cover.
Those centrist Democrats aren’t just keeping quiet—they’re outright rejecting Mamdani and his crowd. It’s a full-on rebellion against the party’s lunatic fringe.
Take Rep. Tom Suozzi, a Democrat from Queens and Nassau County. He’s gone nuclear, suggesting that Mamdani and other Democratic Socialists of America members should bolt the party altogether and start their own far-left outfit.
Jeffries, for his part, played coy in a recent chat with Don Lemon. He’s not committing yet, but hinted at more drama ahead.
“I just haven’t weighed in one way or the other. But stay tuned. I’ll have more to say [about the race] when I’m back in New York City. Sometime soon.”
This whole fiasco exposes the deep cracks in the Democratic Party, where socialists like AOC and Mamdani are pushing an agenda that’s toxic to everyday voters. As Republicans gear up for gains, these internal fights could hand them the keys to Congress on a silver platter.
