Various sources are reporting the four candidates endorsed by Democratic Socialist wunderkind Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez in yesterday’s Democratic primaries all lost. This is excellent news. It suggests media excitement about her is not reflective of public support.
It further suggests the media is even further out of sync with public opinion than we conservatives thought. That is likewise good news.
Socialism is one of those “if it seems too good to be true, it’s false” deals, it is based on a willful misunderstanding of human nature. “Willful” in the sense that humans are less altruisitic and more selfish than some would hope, particularly in larger aggregations where kinship and shared values are less (or not at all) apparent.
