[quote:ToSeek:MV80MDIwNDAyXzcyODAxNjc3Xzk0RTlERDFB] [quote:EricTheGeek:MV80MDIwNDAyXzcyNzk4MTI2XzFBOTg5MDYy] This sounds a little like click bait if you read the article. Just before that quote she says: In reference to the November midterms, where the Democrats gained control of the House of Representatives, she picked up a glass and said: 'When we won this election, it wasn't in districts like mine or Alexandria's. This makes it seems like she was talking about Democrats in districts other than AOC's. While it may be true of AOC, and I believe it is, Nancy was not speaking directly of her. In fact, the quote above seems to exclude her from Nancy's comparison. [/quote] It depends on what she meant by "those districts". I think she meant districts like hers and AOC's that are solidly Democratic. As for AOC, her real accomplishment was knocking off Joe Crowley - at the time the #3 Democrat in the House behind only Pelosi and Hoyer - in the Democratic primary. Once she did that, winning the general election was practically a given. [/quote]
Original Message
US House Speaker Nancy Pelosi appeared to take another thinly veiled shot at the success of rising Democrat Congresswoman Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez by claiming that a 'glass of water with a D next to its name' would have won her seat.
Pelosi, 79, was speaking at the London School of Economics on Monday where she said that the Democratic Party must avoid the 'menace' of liberal policies pushed by rising political stars if it wants to beat President Donald Trump in the 2020 election.
She also used the appearance to set out a centrist vision she believes could help woo Republican voters frustrated with Trump's approach
Pelosi added that New York Congresswoman Ocasio-Cortez, popularly referred to as AOC, and fellow young progressives elected in 2018 represented only the margins of American society.
In reference to the November midterms, where the Democrats gained control of the House of Representatives, she picked up a glass and said: 'When we won this election, it wasn't in districts like mine or Alexandria's.
'Those are districts that are solidly Democratic - this glass of whatever would win with a D next to its name in those districts.'
