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.
Do you genuinely believe that enacting your constituents will, especially if you can do it while violating as many norms as possible is unpopular with those constituents?
Second question: How many times have you watched the entirety of Westwing?
I don’t think most constituents would be happy with a dictatorship? Trump is doing horrible things, but the way in which he does them is horrible as well. But I do think fighting fire with fire is necessary, considering how close we are to collapse.
I haven’t seen West Wing. Heard good things though
