Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-Trotsky), who has her own analysis of why the socialist, authoritarian Democrats crashed and burned in Virginia on Tuesday: they weren’t Leftist enough. But when we’re talking about rational and reality-based assessments, that leaves out Rep. 20 and knows that race-baiting and the repudiation of parental authority are not a winning formula. My favorite assessment so far was offered by America’s Dumbest Bartender, which Robert wrote about:Īny sane person realizes that the Virginia gubernatorial election was in effect a referendum on the gallop toward socialism that Old Joe Biden and his handlers have taken the country on since Jan. The post-mortem hot takes have begun in earnest and I have to say that this is a level of flailing that is usually only seen when a party gets shellacked in a national election, not after a bad night in just one state. Virginia seems to have given them that nudge. They’ve been teetering on the edge of a steep cliff, just waiting for a little push. Their midterm gains in 2018 and whatever the heck happened last year didn’t fix them even a little bit. I’ve written many times that I believe that Donald Trump broke the Democrats in 2016. Since they can’t even win gracefully, it was obviously going to get rough and ugly when they lost again. For the last year, we’ve watched the Democrats not handle winning very well.
