Democratic Socialist Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez Campaigning For Congressional Contender Brent Welder: Big Mistake?!?

Bernie coming to town is nice but it's not big news. He's an icon, people love the old codger and his crazy ideas (in theory) and there just isn't the level of antipathy toward him despite hardcore right-wing efforts. In fact, he earned scores of fans during his last KC area visit.

However, harsh feelings directed at Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez and her outright socialism are another story.

Even hardline Democratic Party supporters question her stance.

Example:

New York Times: Democratic Socialism Is Dem Doom

The local angle . . .

KMBC: Former Democratic presidential candidate Bernie Sanders is coming to Kansas City next week. New York Democrat Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez is coming with him. They will be campaigning for Kansas 3rd District Democrat Brent Welder.

We want to talk about this more but for now, we ask the TKC blog community tonight . . .

IS BRENT WELDER MAKING A BIG MISTAKE BY TAKING CAMPAIGN HELP FROM THE NATION'S MOST CONTROVERSIAL NEWBIE DEMOCRATIC SOCIALIST?!?!

The Johnson County "golden ghetto" is leaning more progressive but it's unclear if leftist NYC politics will play in Kansas.

You decide . . .
