"Well,
now we know. The way for Democrats to win is by campaigning on the
Green New Deal, debt free college,strengthening Medicare and letting it
negotiate drug prices, free insulin, and covering every person in the
state who doesn’t have health insurance with Medicaid. Polling ahead of
the election in Virginia found that each one of these positions polled
well above 50% among the general
electorate. And now that electorate has flipped the entire state blue,
as many of the candidates running on the Democratic side explicitly
embraced a fully progressive platform. Candidate Joshua Cole even ran on
ending cash bail and flipped a seat in the Virginia legislature where a
Trump-supporting Republican had won overwhelmingly in the last
election. While America’s corporate media won’t enthusiastically report
it, Democrats need to realize that returning to the New Deal and Great
Society roots of the party is the number one way to win elections today."
