Van Jones: There's complete rebellion in both political parties

Democratic socialist Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez's defeat of Rep. Joe Crowley, a 10-term incumbent, in a New York primary race shocked the Democratic party. CNN's Van Jones discusses what the win means for the future of the party.

A big eff you to corporate democrats Pelosi, Feinstein, Cain, Schumer, etc. And a big reminder to Hillary supporters that Bernie would have won.

[fahen]

Our young Americans, I have been waiting for this!

[lillyfrost]

Democrats better start appealing to America. Stop leaving it up to Hollywood to do your job.

[gt]

The democrats needs young blood and a fresh start!!!

[AuraFPS_]

Why not title this, “Democratic Socialist, Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez Defeats Centrist Joe Crowley”

[jayhiryu]

The Country is nearly divided in quarters now we need to add 2 more parties.

BERNIE SUPPORTER HERE WHO VOTED TRUMP. I LOVE THIS. KEEP IT COMING AND ILL FLIP BACK TO BLUE. MUST FLUSH OUT ALL ESTABLISHMENT DEMS FIRST. I WILL NEVER VOTE FOR CANDIDATE LIKE CLINTON, Change is

"Thunder on the left." Love it!

[brendantoungate]

Van Jones killed it here. Absolutely right, and what us progressives have been saying. To the people who don't think that it'll work in the middle of America, has the centrism worked at all when you've lost over 1000 seats over eight years? Time to try something new and bold.

[LadiesOfThePleiades]

The Democrats need to wake and smell the coffee. Now!!!

[johncarpenter]

It is about the rich versus the poor on the left and right, it is about the elitists versus the populists, the establishment versus the public. The media is in favor of the rich, elitist establishment.

[cobraracer]

Van Jones was spot on with his analysis while Nancy Pelosi was either clueless or in denial as to why Alexandria Cortez won.

[skidboot]

SOMEONE PLEASE LEGALIZE CANNABIS! Withholding medicine from people is wrong.

[philw]

That's fucking amazing. I like her!! I would vote for her in a heartbeat!

[Bloodylaser]

For once I agree with Van Jones both parties have been the problem for years!

[DrSourPurp]

Thank you for running in 2016 Bernie. You awakened the working class.

[ClassicLaraCroft]

Let go of liberalism.
Let go of political correctness.
Let go of progressivism.
Let go of socialism.
*Revamp your party.*
*Go towards the middle.*

....Otherwise, the Democrats who went for Trump in 2016, _will do it again in 2020._

[lindastuart]

The young people are speaking an they are rising up

[jennyfromtheblock]

Everyone loves and admires you Van, keep your heart true.

[SaintDuck]

Gonna be very VERY few districts nationally willing to vote socialist.
