24. And some pundits at the NYT still don't get it.

"The activist wing of the Democratic Party mobilized for several of the night’s biggest races, trying to replicate the insurgent victory of Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez in New York earlier this summer — and for the most part falling short."

The activist wing of the Democratic Party won last night.

Democratic Socialists, Justice Democrats, Brand New Congress, and Our Revolution lost. Democratic voters voters showed up, so the troubling "low turnout strategy" didn't play out.

The NYT needs to find a new story line, tweak its increasingly absurd narrative, and stop trying to stoke division in the hopes of generating revenue.
