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.
There is not a meaningful number of potential dem voters who will stop voting dem because the billionaires, the politicians they bought, and brown shirts were treated unfairly. The are a lot more who will vote when they see the government enacting their interests.
A lot of Obama staffers were West Wing fans. They were shocked when voters didn’t reward them for following rules, trying to compromise, and giving republicans half the discretionary budget in the name of of civility.
Yeah that’s fair. “Reaching across the aisle” is basically unvalued in this post-Gingrich world.
