Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez - neoliberal establishment 0-3 ... so far

More than a month ago, we identified an immediate mobilization of the establishment machine to push progressives into the establishment lines after the 'shocking' victory of Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez.

Under the fierce pressure of the corporate media, Cortez was essentially forced to declare loyalty to Nancy Pelosi. That was a first, significant victory of the establishment against Cortez and the progressive movement.

After that, we saw an unexplained and bizarre contribution of both Bernie Sanders and Ocasio-Cortez to the establishment pro-McCain 'litanies'. In this totally unnecessary self-recruitment for the McCain's legacy whitewash operation, Cortez retreated unconditionally and the establishment marked a second victory against her.

Now, the establishment 'scored' one more time, as Cortez was forced to endorse establishment's agent, Andrew Cuomo.

We mentioned already that corporate media will focus mainly on pushing progressives to be 'swallowed' by the current DNC establishment in order to destroy the political revolution of Bernie Sanders. Yet, it is expected also to continue the McCarthyism 2.0 operation more intensively for the purpose of smearing every progressive who will not align with the 'business as usual' line of the corporate Democrats.

In the road for the crucial 2020, these operations will become more frequent and more aggressive. However, the strategy of 'compromise with the establishment' is not the right way.

Indeed, the progressives will end up doing what the establishment wants and will eventually be 'swallowed' by the corporate Democrats. It seems that the process of 'metamorphosis' of the young Cortez has already started.

Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez is a critical factor for the outcome of the civil war inside the Democratic party. But if you consider this as a 90-minute football game that has started with her astonishing victory and will end at the day of the 2020 presidential election, we are only about nine minutes from the start of the game. And the establishment already scored three goals. With that rate of retreat, the progressives will be literally vanished by 2020.

So, it's time for the progressives to abandon immediately the corrupted Democratic party, form their own party and build a strong alliance with the Greens. That's the only way we could see a real progressive turn in America that will give real hope to the American people.
