Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez claimed that Republican Glenn Youngkin won the Virginia gubernatorial election because Democratic candidate Terry McAuliffe ran a "100% super moderated campaign" that didn't "energize a progressive base."

"Plus, on the election front. I actually think we have good news as well. I know that Virginia was a huge bummer. And honestly, if anything, I think that the results show the limits of trying to run a fully 100% super moderated campaign that does not excite speak to or energize a progressive base. And frankly, we weren't even really invited to contribute on that race," Ocasio-Cortez said in an Instagram story Wednesday evening, which has since been shared on other social media platforms.

Hope the progressives keep pushing that line of thought. Like most everything they come up with, it's exactly the wrong thing.

Never get in the way of the enemy when they're making a mistake.

Goooood….I like hearing the Dem leadership admit that their strategy going forward is to double down on failure and stick their fingers in their ears.
...take it easy on me, I'm a normal horn

She is 100% correct, and I think the Democrats should follow her lead and declare their true Marxist roots, and campaign hard on the farthest left wing issues they can create.

The problems with the extremes is that they don't want to accept they're extreme and out of touch with the majority of their side, or even the country. She's good for getting attention, but useless at getting anything actually accomplished. I guess that makes her perfect for today's political climate.

They brought in St. Obama and still lost. The last thing they wanted was AOC making a bigger mess.

Such an attention puta. sticking her nose in Virginia, Texas business for cameras. Wish someone would run against her and ask folks of her district why she tends to everyone else's business rather her own district.

That's the end result of living in a bubble your whole life. A completely skewed perspective on how the world really exists.

Also, if you use the word "bummer", I can't take you seriously.

Uh, AOC and her ilk are becoming the mainstream on her side. Dumbass Biden is adopting some of her ideas from the Green New Deal. Pelosi is terrified to stand up to them. Schumer too. She and the Dem base are moving the party further and further left, and getting them to propose more and more crazy ideas like CRT and "Defund the Police". She's getting plenty accomplished. And it appears it's starting to cost the Dems votes.

Get your popcorn ready, because the clown show has only begun.

She should catch a ****ing clue. They weren't asked to participate because they knew anything from her radical caucus would have made it a bigger wipeout than it already was. As it stood, they fully campaigned on a progressive enough platform with race playing a massive role in their message and it went over like the Hindenburg.

If 2021 is any indication, I think they definitely will. Fragile Joe will do as he's told and Pelosi/Schumer will double down.

Just compare/contrast her, Cori Bush, Omar, Pressley, Tlaib to an actual woman of substance and accomplishment in Winsome Sears.

Its laughable.

Please keep doubling down! Please keep aligning with AOC and Rashida Talib and that brother-f***er Ilhan Omar! You have been too moderate, that is the problem!

Holy sh**! Is AOC actually a patriotic CIA actor? It's like these clowns have been trying to lose elections with the sh** they are pushing.

Elections are when people find out what politicians stand for, and politicians find out what people will fall for.

The left is having the same conversation that you're always having here. Its all about energizing the base.

Most people voting are more moderate, way less enthusiastic about any candidate, and frankly don't find national level politics to be that meaningful.

Ehhh we still have way too many concerned moderates like you that can't think for themselves for it to be a bloodbath.

Are you super proud of the work Biden is doing? Are you glad you supported him? The country is so much better off now, right??

At least we have no more mean tweets so your little feelings don't get hurt though, right?

Some of you spiking footballs.


Keep in mind, some of what AOC is saying is not wrong. We have a totalitarian neomarxist problem among the 18-40 year old electorate. I'm not so sure they shift more conservative as they age like Boomers did. Gen X didn't really have to shift all that much because in general the generation that grew up during peak Reagan was more conservative on balance during their younger years than Boomers were.

If we can't get 18-40 year olds to make some major ideological shifts we are going to have issues.

At this point, them staying unmotivated to vote is not a bad thing. More importantly, them NOT signing up for Zuckerberg and Soros financed VBM ballot harvesting efforts is an even better outcome.

AOC is an enemy of the state. Why do we give congressional seats to enemies of the state?

There ought to be a law against that...
