SOCIALISM BUZZKILL: AOC congratulates Joe Biden, admits Tuesday was a 'tough night'
Posted at 7:23 am on March 11, 2020 by Greg P.
That sound you hear is celebrity socialist Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez admitting that elderly socialist Bernie Sanders had a "tough night" and, reading between the lines, it's going to be Joe Biden winning the nomination.
Excerpts from her Instagram live video last night: "There's no sugar-coating it":
"There's no sugar-coating it. Tonight's a tough night. Tonight's a tough night electorally," @AOC says in her Instagram live chat.

Congratulations to Joe Biden:
.@AOC talks about the generational divide and congratulates @JoeBiden on winning his races tonight.
"There's a generational divide in the Democratic Party on health care, on climate change, on foreign policy," @AOC says. Calls the divide is "stark" and "decisively different."
She doesn't want the young voters, who haven't been showing up, to not blame the older voters, who did show up:
"Movements aren't necessarily electoral"? Well, eventually they *have to be* electoral if they are to succeed:
"Movements aren't necessarily electoral," @AOC says.
LOL. The younger voters will learn how to vote . . . someday:
"People get better at learning to vote over time," @AOC says.
"Our generation seems to have a streak of progressivism that doesn't seem to be going away soon," @AOC says.
The generation that looks to Greta Thunberg as its hero will just have to wait:
.@AOC says that she is very concerned on what this all means for climate change.
Yes, Dems believe in getting to Medicare for All and that climate change is a threat. They just don't agree with Bernie that it has to be Medicare for All RIGHT NOW or AOC's timeline of only a dozen or so years to save the planet:
And here's where we think the writing is on the wall for Bernie Sanders. It's over:
"The notion of electability and the ideas of what people think about to defeat Donald Trump" has been "decisive" this cycle, @AOC says.
That has led to ugly reactions this cycle, @AOC says.
It's adorable that she think she can get rid of cynicism:
.@AOC says that the "number 1 enemy" of the movement "is cynicism."
Nobody's heart is "turning black." They're just pragmatic:
.@AOC says that you should never ever "let your heart turn black" when it comes to fighting for issues you care about.
