Democratic socialist Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez said Monday she’s ready to endorse candidates running for 51 City Council seats this year — but only if they back her leftist agenda.
Candidates who want a thumbs up from the progressive Bronx firebrand must fill out an extensive questionnaire that asks if they back slashing the NYPD’s budget by $3 billion, abolishing US Immigration and Customs Enforcement, and a law that would bar turning over illegal immigrants accused of crimes to federal authorities for deportation.
AOC’s Courage to Change’s PAC also asks whether they would accept campaign contributions from real estate and fossil fuel interests, law enforcement associations or PACs headed by “profit-making” entities.
“When voters see that a candidate is endorsed by Courage to Change, they know that candidate is people-funded, committed to the grassroots, and supports policies that prioritize working-class New Yorkers in the pursuit of social, economic and racial justice,” Ocasio-Cortez in a statement.
“The CTC endorsement is awarded to candidates who clearly demonstrate an unwavering commitment to change a political system that puts wealthy special interests ahead of working people. It means you have the courage to stand up to established interests, big money, and politics as usual no matter the Party. Eligible candidates don’t just talk — they have a proven movement-building track record of organizing to get the job done.”
Why does AOC need a PAC to persuade (or induce) candidates to support her causes? And if they support some will candidates be shunned for not supporting all of them? Weird.

Putting politics aside, how can any New Yorker listen to her ideas and think that will benefit the city going forward? Are people still that naive?
Fighting systemic racism has demented young people !
The Leftist idiots have lost the ability to look after themself so they turn to the Nanny State ! Sad...
The Left has raised an entire generation of confused kids, who look down there pants and still can't tell what sex they are. Good job commies.
The big question is will AOC endorse Sara Lind over Gale Brewer on the Upper West Side.
News reporters get paid well to push her propaganda.
There are some truly evil people misleading Americans!
LORD HAVE MERCY ON US.
Working-class people of color hate the riots but the lefty White elites keeps cheering.
