Alexandria just has a force about her. If you saw any of the debates - you saw a new kind of body politic emerging: bold, representative of (real) people, and unafraid to speak truth to power. She is a fighter and has the courage to tackle establishment status quo entrenchments.
Crowley outspent her 18-1 (with corporate PAC money) and ran unopposed for over a decade in a district that is +70% people of color - yet had never been represented by somebody who shared their background and interests.
And yes - Alex was an organizer/advocate for Sanders (as was Jealous who won big in MD). When people say "elections have consequences" they don't usually say it with regards to primary battles within the Democratic party - but we're seeing it now - and it's making the Democratic party stronger.
Crowley had his time - as did Schumer and Pelosi. Time to relinquish power (gracefully) and usher in a new era.
