Joe Lieberman, the former Democratic senator, on Tuesday urged voters in the 14th Congressional District of New York to vote in November for top Democrat Joe Crowley and not for Democratic Socialist Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez

. Wall Street Journal, Lieberman, who is now Independent, criticized the Ocasio-Cortez agenda as being "more socialist than democratic" and said his presence at Congress "will make it more difficult for the Congress to" Stop fighting and start fixing problems. " to a small percentage of primary votes, all residents of the 14th congressional district of New York are on the verge of losing a very effective representative in Washington, "he wrote

Ocasio-Cortez won last month at the Democrat vs. Democratic House of Commons Democratic caucus that was considered by some as a future Speaker of the House.

But now she has to face moderate voices who fear that her socialist democrat brand will harm the future prospects of the party

"[House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi] knows that if the The Democrats want to regain the majority, it will be by winning swinging districts with ordinary and reasonable candidates. Mrs. Ocasio-Cortez is making this task more difficult throughout America, "wrote Lieberman

.Ocasio-Cortez is a proud member of the Democratic Socialists of America, whose platform, like his own, is more socialist than democratic, his dreams of new federal spending would bankrupt the country or require very large tax increases, including on the working class, "he continued. approach provides government ownership of many private companies, which would decimate the economy and put millions of people out of work. "

Lieberman also took a picture of Ocasio-Cortez's opinions on international politics." Ms. Ocasio-Cortez did not speak much foreign policy during the primary, but when she did, she was from the DSA policy book supporting socialist governments, even though they are dictatorial and corrupt (Venezuela) , opposition to American leadership in the world, even to mitigate humanitarian disasters (Syria), and the reflexive criticism of one of the great democratic allies of the United States (Israel), "he wrote

] OCASIO-CORTEZ BEGINS CONTROVERSY WITH ISRAELI OBSERVATIONS IT'S NOT EXPERT & # 39;

Ocasio-Cortez recently flip-flopped in the space of a few days on the issue of Israel and Palestine. On Friday, she asserted the right to the existence of the Jewish state but raised her eyebrows after incoherent statements about Israel's "occupation of Palestine." She insisted that she was "not an expert in geopolitics on this issue". With Democracy Now on Monday, she balked at reiterating her support for the two-state solution and therefore the right to Israel's existence. "It's a conversation I'm sitting with a lot of activists in this movement and I'm looking forward to engaging in this conversation," she said.

There are more and more calls for Crowley to rise and general election against Ocasio-Cortez, giving real choice to voters in the district where opposition has been non-existent for decades.

Crowley will appear on the Working Families Party ballot.

Last week, Ocasio-Cortez accused Crowley of still running against her in the general election. "@ Repjoecrowley said on live TV that he would absolutely support my candidacy," she tweeted. "Instead, he supported me for the three planned concession calls."

Crowley responded to the charges, saying that he does not actively participate in the general election. "Many questions about the WFP line was honored to have their support.I do not run.For registration, you can only be removed from the ballot if 1) you leave NY; 2) die; 3) be convicted of a crime; 4) accept an appointment for another office (in a place where I do not live), "he tweeted.

Lieberman ends the article with resounding support from Crowley, saying his re-election would show that "Democrats are able to govern again," noting that Crowley is a progressive bridge builder and problem-solver, which is exactly what Congress needs more in both parts. "

" For Congress and our country, I hope that Joe Crowley All voters in his district have the opportunity to re-elect him in November – and I hope that they will find his name on their ballots, "he added.
