Independent Senator Bernie Sanders floated Democratic Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez as a potential presidential candidate in the 2028 elections, saying that even though it’s “her decision to make,” she is a “very, very good politician.”
Speaking to Axios, Sanders said that he has been “out on the streets with her” and noticed how she responds when people come up to her. “It’s so incredibly genuine and open.”
Ocasio-Cortez is seemingly positioning herself to run for higher office, whether it is challenging Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer for his seat or to make a run for president.
Naw, it’s always time. If she doesn’t win, that’s good practice and she can remind others what to learn from the other choice and run again.
If she doesn’t win we are all fucked (assuming we’re not already fucked and we even get to have another election).
Be careful. That kind of fear thinking is what got hillary to win the dem nom in 2016. Its what got biden to win the nom in 2020. Fortune favors the bold. “Playing it safe” is what gets guys like trump in the first place.
I meant in the sense of the democrats winning the election, not the dem nomination. If the dems lose the next election the republicans are going to have plenty of time to finish what Trump is doing. Honestly I’m not sure they’ll need another term the way things are going considering the dems have done fuck all to resist. As far as the dem nomination goes I don’t really like any of their front runners (except maybe Walz, but haven’t heard much about him being put forward) but I’ll hold my nose and vote for whoever it happens to be. At this point I think Trump is doing them more favors by driving the country into the ground than they are doing anything themselves.
I know this sounds retarded, but if Texas doesn’t turn blue we are all fucked. Why would I say that? Because they fucked up the gerrymander data and have razor thin districts now. If there isn’t a huge push against Republicans I am not sure if we will have another chance of fair elections.
Californian here, fuck Texas. We’re gerrymandering back and all the other states should too. Stop playing fair.
If you’re thinking binary, then yeah, maybe. But there’s going to be options.
“Always time”… Oh yeah? Who’s paying the bill, you? It’s a giant waste of $$ for that level of campaign when she can’t win.
Shes infinitely more electable than a republican-lite.
Chill dude. Whoever wants to donate. It’s whatever people would like to do.
