USA: Overwhelming victory of radicals and socialists"},"content":{"rendered":"<p style=\"text-align: left\" align=\"right\"><em>CEDETIM Bulletin, Athens, 9 November 2022, by Yorgos Mitralias<\/em><\/p>\n<p align=\"justify\">The international headlines about the outcome of the US midterm elections are not mistaken: Yes, the long-awaited Republican tsunami did not materialize. And the Democrats held up much better than they had hoped. The reason for all these big surprises is beginning to appear: Young people, breaking a decades-long tradition, turned out en masse to vote. And on top of that, they voted en masse for the Democrats. But, beware: for the Democrats and not for Biden, whose popularity continues to plummet according to all surveys, and even according to exit-polls.<\/p>\n<p align=\"justify\">In fact, the exit-polls reveal that if it were not for the vote of young Americans aged 18 to 29, the election result would have fully confirmed the predictions that announced a &#8220;Republican wave&#8221;. And here is the why and how according to a CNN exit-poll:<\/p>\n<p align=\"justify\">Voters over 65 gave the Republicans a 13-point lead. Those in the 45-64 age group also gave the Republicans an 11-point advantage. Those aged 30-44, on the other hand, gave the Democrats a slight advantage of 2 points. But, the very young 18-29 years old made the difference, giving the Democrats an advantage of &#8230; 28 points! In short, the &#8220;Generation Z&#8221;, that is to say the young people born roughly from 1997 to the early 2010s, have made a sensational entry into the political life of the country!<\/p>\n<p align=\"justify\">So, it&#8217;s no surprise that the first to benefit from the vote of these young people were the most left-wing Democrats. And especially those who make up &#8220;the Squad&#8221;, the group of radical and socialist deputies, who appeared following the first presidential campaign of Senator Bernie Sanders. They were re-elected by winning landslide victories. The most famous of them, Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez of New York was re-elected with 70.6% of the vote. Palestinian-born Rashida Tlaib did better in Michigan with 73.7 percent. The very radical Ilhan Omar, of Somali origin, in Minnesota with 75.2%. African-American Jamaal Bowman with 65.4 in New York. African-American nurse Cori Bush with 72.8% in Missouri. And African-American Ayanna Pressley with &#8230; 84.5% in Massachusetts!<\/p>\n<p align=\"justify\">At the time of writing, only a few hours after the polls closed, it is not possible to have a definitive idea of the other electoral successes of radical candidates related to the Democratic Party. However, we can cite the case of the African-American Summer Lee, who created a surprise in Pennsylvania, beating the Republican incumbent with 55.7% of the votes.
