AOC: Dems Lost in Virginia Because They Weren’t Far Enough to the Left
PJ Media ^ | 11/04/2021 | Robert Spencer

Any 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. 20 and knows that race-baiting and the repudiation of parental authority are not a winning formula. But when we’re talking about rational and reality-based assessments, that leaves out Rep. 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.

.@AOC finds a silver lining in Virginia election losses.

With a straight face, the erudite Congresswoman explained: “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.”

Wait a minute. If McAuliffe didn’t “speak to or energize a progressive base,” it certainly wasn’t for want of trying. He called for teachers to be hired not on merit, but to satisfy the requirements of “diversity.” As parents in Virginia and elsewhere are rightfully outraged over Critical Race Theory and all of today’s fashionable sexual madness being taught in public schools, McAuliffe argued against a parental role in education and declared that only “experts,” not parents, should approve textbooks.

She’s 100% correct. I would absolutely advice Democrats everywhere to go as hard to the left as they can, as loudly as they can.

I don't know about the rest of you, but I view her as the gift that keeps on giving.

Is that why the socialist in Buffalo lost to the write-in “moderate”?

My friends they have a whole year to get it right. Don’t put it past them. Keep her in line? Let’s hope they can’t. I would say lay low enough for them to really come out.

...or energize a progressive base...

I used to live in Virginia. Did so for 7 years in three
very different areas.

Northern Virginia an Fairfax and thereabouts are
'progressive'.

But get out of the urban areas - it is an
entirely different culture.
