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.
Assuming we actually get a fair vote (not a chance in hell)
They’ll run the same playbook they ran on Harris, it’ll have a slightly different effect.
Like Harris, woman so no right winger will vote for her. They’ll do an A/B push for Gaza - Israel, she’ll go Gaza, they’ll demonize her as Middle Eastern. Push as many jews over as they can. They’ll start poking at her voting history try to disenfranchise the left.
She’s not quite as soft as a target as Harris, and didn’t have to back a bunch of right appeasing votes with Biden but they’ll still make an effective target out of her.
The only fucking chance we have to get out of this is to push them hard AF to pick the best candidate they can and overwhelmingly vote for them, then do something about it when they say the results were fake and the real winner was orangespawn.
