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.

"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:
"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."

“Movements aren’t necessarily electoral”? Well, eventually they *have to be* electoral if they are to succeed:

LOL. The younger voters will learn how to vote . . . someday:

"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:

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.
— Julio Ricardo Varela (@julito77) March 11, 2020
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."
— Julio Ricardo Varela (@julito77) March 11, 2020
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.
