    Default The Epic Failure of Democratic Socialists on Primary Night

    Better hope there aren't too many of these creatures running in November! Watch some change their course now...

    The Epic Failure of Democratic Socialists on Primary Night

    Something happened on the way to the future for Democrats on Tuesday night. The democratic socialists swallowed a large dollop of reality and proceeded to choke on it.

    Every single Democratic primary candidate endorsed by the party's celebrity socialist, Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, lost. They not only went down to defeat, most of them were slaughtered.

    The American Mirror:

    Cortez held a whirl-wind tour of the U.S., stumping for Abdul El-Sayed for governor of Michigan, Fayrouz Saad in Michigan’s 11th Congressional District, Cori Bush in Missouri’s 1st District, and is backing Congressional candidate Kaniela Ing in Hawaii.
    El-Sayed lost his bid for the Democrat nomination for governor to 51.8 percent to 30.5 percent, according to numbers published by the New York Times.

    Saad came in fourth in the five-way race, capturing only 18 percent of the vote.

    Cori Bush lost her primary to William Lacy Clay, 56.7 percent to 36.9 percent, the Times results show.
    Ouch. That hurt.

    To make matters worse for the socialists, their demand for purity on the issues is getting in the way of smart politics.

    Politico:

    El-Sayed’s defeat may have been the most noticeable loss for Ocasio-Cortez and Sanders, but the defeat of Brent Welder in Kansas is far more politically significant. Welder, a former Sanders 2016 campaign staffer, hoped to carry the Democratic banner in Kansas’ 3rd congressional district. The largely urban district is a top party priority, one of a handful of Republican-held seats that Clinton won in 2016.

    The Berniecrat left desperately wants to convince naysaying political veterans (and annoying political pundits) that a democratic socialist platform holds the ticket to victory in heartland districts like this one—so much so that Sanders and Ocasio-Cortez gave a full-throated endorsement to Welder over another compelling and fairly liberal candidate in Sharice Davids.

    She’s a lesbian Native American, professional mixed martial arts fighter and former Obama White House Fellow. But Davids exhibited a bit too much of an incrementalist streak for some progressives, arguing that single-payer health insurance is not realistic in the short term and supporting free community college instead of promising to make all college debt-free. Negating the stereotype that the far left puts “identity politics” above all, Sanders and Ocasio-Cortez backed the white guy.

Need I say more?” - Chris Rock

    Let them all run as third party candidates.

    So 'socialists" stumped for candidates whose end game is a theocracy? Socialist ragheads ...

    Probably a ruse on the ragheads part. Probably is in Europe too.

    Yeah, I kind of meant that when I used "theocracy". Play the game to get your foot in the door, hold it open for other like-minded folk (ragheads), assume control, THEN change the rules. ME Muslims have ZERO intention of assimilating in the West. They mean to conquer it. Working like a charm so far. They can't win with bullet, but they CAN win using OUR laws to their advantage and our disadvantage.

    And which party is most likely to welcome the poor, downtrodden Habib's of the World?

    I think they have a really good shot at Europe (if not here). All you have to do is play the hitler card and you're in. Merkel may go down as the worst human being ever. Without firing a shot or starting a war. And to your point, Germans reproduce at a rate that makes Americans look like rabbits.
