That's so funny.

Is there any proof anyone is paying anyone to run?

at the Women's March.

Follow the money.

The Kennedy,Markey thing ..for example.

I kid you not. I drop in on another forum where both repugs and dems duke it all out. The posts that the repugs make about AOC are hilarious. She and her squad of commie socialists are gaining ground and soon will take over the nation and turn everybody into collectivist slaves - OMG!

So maybe the repugs are funding Badrun Khan (is that a real name?)

Whatever. I hope AOC keeps her seat if for no other reason than that I love seeing grown men from the tRump cult quiver at the very mention of her name.

Obama got dissed for his full name. Barack Hussein Obama.

Then we had tRump and the birthers.

The Drumpfs changed their last name to sound less German.

The best one is that I have a standard Biblical name shared by a US president and several great Americans but people think it's fake because my skin is brown.

....they're not representatives of republicans.

And they're not the only ones.

wtf is wrong with you? "Is that a real name har har har." That is literally something Trump would say. Be better.

I certainly didn't mean to "mock" ANY group of Americans. But if you think about it, the name of Badrun (Bad Run) for a politician can't help but make a person laugh a little the first time they see it. Plus, I like AOC. I think she's cool, but if someone else from any ethnic group from A - Z primaries her, I guess one can't object to her getting a dose of own medicine.

Perhaps your spending too much time on a site with republican posters.
I know nothing about the candidate and couldn’t care less who Brooklyn elects so long as they are a Democratic Candidate. But your questioning that name has no place on DU.

After all, she is out there encouraging others to primary our leadership. It is only fair that she get a dose of her own medicine.

Various articles give little chance to Fernando Cabrera and Badrun Khan who are seeking to challenge AOC for her seat. Some speculate that the challengers have ulterior reasons for running. To gain exposure for other endeavors for example.

It also appears that Fernando Cabrera and Badrun Khan aren't having much success raising money.

AOC on the other hand has a considerable war chest and it's interesting that 81% of that came from contributions of $200 or less.

to the OP.

And I posted it in September. Uh....Merry Christmas?

Your comment:

" It is only fair that she get a dose of her own medicine."

What dose does she get if her challengers pose no threat to her at all? Since your post made in September, there is very little news about AOC's challengers.

....look bad.

Beware, the REAL account is "Badrun_Khan" and isn't active much on twitter yet, the FAKE account is "BardunKhan". Amazing how sleazy politics can get.

closer to Crowley politically, guess that's what primaries are for.

I think AOC is going to be vulnerable. A semi-strong challenger should be able to win easily.

Got a whole money forest though when it comes to those who need it least.

Congress and two administrations gave trillions to those who stole it.

Then, they blamed the poor.

Great Congress member.

"Badrun Khan supports increasing Social Security benefits in areas that that have a significantly higher cost of Living like the 14th Congressional District, following a concept set forth in current Federal pay system. "

Many people tell her stuff:

""I actually care about what happens to not only the people who live there but beyond," Badrun Khan, a community activist running as a Democrat, told E&E News via email.

"Until I came along and called her out on TV, she was barely in the district — and I heard this from the people and the local elected officials. Now that she is being challenged, she shows up a lot more.""

Reading news about her, it doesn't appear that Mz. Khan has gained much ground since she announced her candidacy back in September

have no fucking business calling themselves democrats!

And may Bezos and Zuckerberg learn to share. Please.
