Not quite as bad a beatdown as the Astros took from the Braves in the World Series, but still ... they did it to themselves. Again.

Let's cut Build Back Better in half and then, instead of declaring victory and announcing my support, trash the entire thing the day before a crucial governor's race in Virginia.
I mean "they" if you're one of those Democrats who considers Joe Manchin a Democrat (and not Bernie Sanders, for example).
If I had a dollar for every time some pundit said "This is a big wake-up call for the Democrats" Id be able to pay off my student loans. https://t.co/deqIZNN0a4

You don't suppose yesterday was some kind of a referendum on Joe Biden, do you? Nah, had to be the Far Left's fault.
McAuliffe’s loss in a state Biden just won by over 10% raises an important question: how do we blame progressives?

From Virginia to New Jersey to Minnesota, voters in yesterday's off-year elections sent Democrats a warning for 2022: There could be a massive backlash to perceptions that progressives are pulling the party too far left.
[...]
A senior aide to another House Democratic moderate told Axios’ Hans Nichols that "it’s clear that passing a historic bipartisan infrastructure deal months ago would have energized President Biden’s numbers," and that House progressives who stalled that vote had hurt McAuliffe.
Yes well, I certainly hope so. Though I don't think anyone's blaming the leftists for the Democratic nominee's defeat to a write-in candidate in Buffalo, NY yesterday.
Democrats have no problem when corporate candidates run as 3rd party spoilers, but would lose it if Bernie or Nina (rightfully) did the same thing. https://t.co/HB2nomlhl6

Texas -- or at least San Antonio's House District 118 -- repeated the pattern.

Lujan wins by 2 points after Biden carried #HD118 by 14 https://t.co/MItlyNvtbp #txlege
Quite remarkable. To underscore, this is what they are losing to.
