In truth, Tuesday’s red wave, which washed away Democrats’ margins and swept Republicans into a multitude of offices right down to Sticksville dog catcher, argues not for but against left-wing overreach, both on spending and on cultural issues. Voters want reasonable policies, not extremism written by socialist Sen. Bernie Sanders and embraced by the bumbler in chief.

One must be careful what one wishes for, so it’s hard to know whether to lament or welcome the Left’s intransigent refusal to learn the obvious lessons of its electoral humiliation. In a well-functioning polity, we’d want Democrats to become sensible and therefore more electable. But we’ve already seen, in Biden, that the mask of reasonableness is likely to be dishonest camouflage for an extreme agenda.

So, it’s easier to celebrate the Left’s uneducable insistence on an ever-more vigorous pursuit of policies that brought them defeat. Responding to voter repudiation by doubling down on their left-wingery makes them less electable, and thus makes Republican victory in 2022 and 2024 more likely. Better government and more effective policymaking is, ironically, therefore made more likely by the Left’s purblind determination to be more militantly extreme.

For it is likely to be, and should be, only a start. It can be the beginning of a national reclamation in which voters reject ideological extremism and profligate spending, and restore order to government.

The Left are essentially the equivalent of medieval barbers: If you applied the requisite number of leaches to the patient, and then the patient died, it's proof that you should have applied more leaches.

Outstanding job.

But keep ignoring reality and pushing for those (R) wins with leftist crazy and race baiting. :D (R)'s really need the progressive left to keep pushing hard so that 2022 is enough of a bloodbath even CA and NY become battleground states too.

Then the alternative would be that the Right caused him to lose
because the Left's platform did not appeal to the "center..."

One alternative, you mean.

Another alternative is that McAuliffe, himself, didn't appeal to voters.

And if you want to talk platform, it would only be at the state level, since the offices were all at that level.
 
Oh, I stand corrected, I am so embarrassed.

For you.

By implication, it had to be THE STATE's LEFT...

I did not realize that ideas had a race...
 
I'm guessing that that article was written before the demographic breakdown became public. :)

If not going further left is the issue, then defund the police should have passed in Minneapolis, a socialist wouldn't have lost in Buffalo, the moderate wouldn't have won in Seattle. The far left couldn't even win the smaller battles. But please, don't listen to me, your mindset is the best weapon against the far left agenda.

Don't look now...the moderates who dominant govt just passed a 1.75 trillion infrastructure bill.

What's a moderate...partisan Republicans ask?

To a lot of republicans, "Moderates" are called "Republicans in Name Only." It's either a) far-right extremist or b) Democrat, and therefore, socialist, to these people. If it's neither of the two, then...it's option B.

But as for the thread title, you could make an equally valid argument that Republican extremists are gifting the future to Democrats.
Because after four years of circus level idiocy, even many moderate Republicans were sick enough of the bullshit to vote Democrat (then whine and complain about him after they voted for him.)

There is a twinge of wisdom in the original post- I don't usually wade through Rightguide's bullshit (or whichever of his aliases posted this; I can't even keep track of them anymore) but he makes a good point when he says that voters are ready to reject ideological extremism and return to sensible government. I agree with this! But what people need to recognize- BOTH parties- is that there is just as much a problem with the ideological extremism on the right- which we have seen for the past four years- as there is with the far left Kernel Sandersisms on the left.

And by the way, supporting infrastructure, heath care, public education, and environmental protection is NOT left wing extremism, and it's not "socialism either. This is what happens when you let one ideological extreme dictate the public discourse.
