Progressive Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-N.Y.) reacted to former Vice President Joe Biden's primary wins on Tuesday, telling supporters it was "a tough night" for Sen. Bernie Sanders's (I-Vt.) supporters.
"There's no sugarcoating it. Tonight is a tough night," Ocasio-Cortez, who is one of Sanders's most high-profile supporters, said in an Instagram Live video.
"Tonight is a tough night electorally," she added before citing the generational gap in support between Sanders and Biden. "Older voters, which we know are more reliable voters, which we know turn out, have decisively gone to former Vice President Biden."
"There's a generational divide within the Democratic Party on health care, on climate change, on foreign policy, pretty much every policy imaginable," she said. "As a younger person in this movement, I take a lot of that as information for how we navigate the next decade.
Ocasio-Cortez congratulated Biden on his victories, saying, "If you win a race, you win a race."

>>”Older taxpayers, which we know are more reliable taxpayers,
Not really. Dim Joe will do everything Sanders wants under the cloak of moderation. We can all see this, right?
Marry me, Lexi. I can fix you.
The old ones know the horror of socialism. They also lack the benefit of today’s “education”. Thank goodness.
“Progressive” Rep? My Thesaurus doesn’t list “progressive” as a synonym for “Maoist”.
“Tonight is a tough night electorally,” she added before citing the generational gap in support between Sanders and Biden. “Older voters, which we know are more reliable voters, which we know turn out, have decisively gone to former Vice President Biden.”
Good God, does she actually believe that? Does she actually believe “voters” select the nominee in her party? Your party is owned babe, the nominee is selected by the owners.
Tough night? Yup....there goes your lifelong gravy train in DC. Now start groveling lest you lose your house seat.
No. It’s still in the demoncrat party. They’re just trying to hide it under slo’ joe.
No I’m sorry I can’t see it at all. Biden would be a disaster that we can survive. Sanders is a communist who thinks things are done right and Cuba and Venezuela.
But by arguing this point we are giving the idea that Trump will be defeated value. It has no value
a Biden endorsement is a-comin’
It is coming back in 2024 and will win. Free stuff is hard to resist. It worked for Julius Caesar.
Occasional Kotex should back Byedone cause they’re both a couple of airheads.
Fairy dust and wishful thinking about unicorns is no way to run a country.
Hell no. Biden is a puppet and we cannot survive that fool within a mile of the White House.
What is wrong with you?
I’m not the least bit surprised that you miss the threat that electing a dementia ridden Biden poses. Birds of a feather, so to speak.
It will be even tougher when Democrats discover that Biden is senile as well as corrupt. Who does the party have in their back pocket to slip in at the convention?
Ocasio-Cortez congratulated Biden on his victories, saying, “If you win a race, you win a race.”

Defeat comes a little easier now that she has hers.
I’m surprised she wasn’t running
She isn’t old enough.
