    I don't think AOC was just talking about the loss in Virginia, rather it was progressives sending a message to Biden that they will stay home and not vote for any moderate Democrat if Biden doesn't hold up his end of the bargain he made with progressives so he could get elected. That promise was/is the Safety Net bill Biden promised he would have on his desk along with the Infrastructure bill to be signed together. That promise fell through for reasons most of us know why. Has any of the Liberal Stream Medias mentioned the progressive turnout? They all take after voting polls so they know who voted on Election Day.

    It took the record for money spent on a gubernatorial elections. McAuliffe brought in ALL the big guns to campaign for him. There is NO evidence their base didn't turn out. It was the moderates turning to Republicans and a strong showing for Youngkin on the issues that won.

    Progressive Democrats may not have turner out the numbers Democrats would have liked. They may have been sending a message to Biden to uphold his promise and get the larger Safety Net bill passed along with the Infrastructure bill.

    They were record turnouts for a gubernatorial and the independents turned heavily to Republican. The base turned out for the Dems in those record numbers. I don't think they were willing to give up Virginia just to send Biden a message, they can do that without losing a state.

    You guys need to stop trying to put lipstick on this thing. The Dems better have a rude awakening on their policies and the current administration in the WH and Congressional leadership.

    No pedaling needed. They condemned Biden for his idiotic Afghanistan disaster then going on vacation refusing to take their calls.
    Just because you want to ignore it, doesn't mean it didn't happen.

    AOC is an idiot.

    MANCHIN AND SINEMA: Cassandras of the Senate. They are the ones with the vision thar saw what was actually there. AOC "sees" what she wants to see.
    Another idiot who 'sees' what he wants to see.
    Good
    They may be saving the party.

    This VA governor race had the highest voter turnout in recent history
    So it wasn't turn out that hurt the Democrats it was the Independence voting for Republican

    Which is not being held in contempt by Parliament.
    That is a lie, don't keep repeating it.
    Some MPs criticised Biden.
    Trump was criticised in Parliament too.

    That's already a done deal. The "woke" progressives think their mistake was in not fighting for their socialistic give away bill even harder, and nobody wants to face reality. Wasn't Nancy planning a vote on both bills today? Wonder what happened to that... (Not really, I know exactly what happened lol...)

    She is a genuine idiot.

    The progressive wing of the democrats is slowly but surely losing support.

    They grabbed alot of the more foolish dems by the balls for a few years, people actually bought into alot of the (for lack of a better term) "woke" narratives for a long time.

    However it didnt take very long for them to overplay their hands, give into hate WAY to much, and now we are seeing dems slowly realizing this.

    It wont be long before dems actually are a decent party, and it will largely be because of Republicans WINNING that causes them to rethink their recent idiocy.

    The days of woke BLM nonsense, among other leftist nonsense are coming to a close.

    You are arguing against change and confusing me with someone who is trying to argue you out of it. I think you are doing great! Don't change a thing.

    They don't!! I hope the hell they won't. There are parts of me that thinks those of us on the other side (which, btw, I am not always, but when it comes to more, more, more free stuff for losers that they should be paying for themselves, I am for sho!), are doing you a favor we should not be doing because if you listen to what we've been saying, you might actually (and unfortunately) achieve some of your goals. On the flip side, in the almost 48 hours since the baby midterm that revealed so many issues on the dem side, they've just proven they don't get it. Or for some really odd reason, don't want to, because they're self-destructing while the whole country watches.

    Which, on this topic, I'm totally fine with, because I for one am sick and tired of paying for other people's bills...

    They didn't have to. Don't equate democrats losing and republicans losing...different parties different strategies.

    The reason republicans didn't have to is because democrat policies are so atrocious, that once the democrats had control, republicans just had to sit back and watch. It's unfortunate that it took the democrats getting control for people to start to wake up to how idiotic their policies are, but that's what happens when you have a media in the tank for the democrats.

    Democrats have to change because it's their policies and their way of governing that are turning off voters. Republicans (speaking about politicians) biggest problem is they have no spine. They fear the media and thus they don't follow through with the things they campaign on (it's absurd, but it's what they do). Plus, they haven't really had control in a very long time because under trump there were so many never trumpers that it was almost as if they didn't have control.

    Republicans will most likely have both houses in 1 year and the white house in 3 years. We'll see if they grow a spine between now and then.

    I have made this clear many times. This is the long game. You let your little brother win just occasionally enough to keep him interested. Leftists will continue to control Congress and the Executive. By hook or by crook...
