Across the country, far-left progressives and democratic socialists suffered decisive electoral defeats in Tuesday's primaries, despite high-profile barnstorming efforts by left-leaning leaders like Bernie Sanders and Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez.
The routs were a sign not only that Ocasio-Cortez and Sanders may lack the star power necessary to bolster candidates, but also that national enthusiasm for socialism is generally weak as the U.S. economy posts strong unemployment numbers and sustained growth.
Ocasio-Cortez... tweeted an acknowledgement of the rough day on Wednesday:
"Wins in the short-term are important mile markers and necessary to building power," she wrote. "But you can’t be afraid of loss. Fear keeps people from accomplishing great things."
Such losses were plentiful for Ocasio-Cortez this week. [Complete list at the link.]

Scary Muslim lady Rashida Tlaib from Michigan is their new savior. She also doesn’t have much of a track record, but she’s against everything America stands for, so the Democrats are hoping that she will help them in in November.

I’ll be glad when the hype over her is over. So she won a primary in New York, that doesn’t make her a celebrity.

This finding of lost ballots by the DemonRATs is such an old, old story going back to the Jacksonian days. And every time it happens the media acts as if it is the very first time.
I can not recall the Republicans pulling such shenanigans.
