The Fourth-Ranked Democrat in the House of Representatives Joe Crowley lost to very passionate and driven Democratic Socialist named Alexandra Ocasio Cortez. Is this a warning sign that Democrats need to steer more to the left or the fruits of hard labor of an exceptional candidate that took advantage of a complacent incumbent who did not take the challenge seriously. The people will notice when you are so arrogant that you "blow off" debates with your opponent. This district will probably remain in Democratic hands and leadership should not hit the panic button yet. This new candidate may inject some new progressive life in the party if her ideas do not alienate the mainstream.
