The daughter of Colombian and Dominican immigrants, Mejia ran on an adamantly anti–Donald Trump message and secured a whopping 70 percent of the vote as a result. The Associated Press called her victory shortly after the votes started rolling in.
70 percent… wow!
The progressive Democrat’s positions echo several of the policies that made Sanders a national phenomenon, including support for universal health care coverage, tuition-free college, student loan forgiveness programs, and strengthening unions and expanding labor protections in order to bolster America’s middle class.
She sounds like a Democrat who wants to win and is against genocide.
Mejia has also been vocal in her criticism of Israel, publicly denouncing the state’s war on Palestine as a genocide. That caught the attention of the American Israel Public Affairs Committee, which funneled money into the race to bolster her opponents. In the end, the pro-Israel lobby’s efforts may have been one of the reasons that voters in New Jersey sent Mejia to Congress.
Awesome!

Here’s how evolution of politicians goes:
- is it better-or-equal in all things that matter to you? Vote for that person.
That is it. It’s not more complicated. If perfection isn’t achievable in this run because of limited viable options, then choose better. EVOLUTION.
Every time we choose better. Every time we vote for someone who’s an improvement. We slowly drive this country further left as we pull nail and tooth to get the moderates to understand how much better everything could be
I can only hope that other democrats learn from this.

As leftists in America, we all must realise: This is our party, and we need to fight to win it back.
Your vote in primary election can often be more influential than your vote in the general election. And any campaigning activity you do in the party’s primary will be twice as impactful as activities during the general.
it needs to be smashing the corrupt in the face and taking it, not lobbying slowly for it to change.
Here’s hoping the mid-terms aren’t cancelled as trump declares an election can’t happen while the US is at war.
Let people celebrate a win.
Hence the hope!
Totally not the point of the article, but “Analilia” is a beautiful name. I hadn’t heard it before and it immediately went into my “if I ever accidentally have kids” name list.
