    Is there a chance she can become the next president?

    I would say yes and no.

    If she wasn’t sabotaged by the DNC or assassinated by the oligarchy, and if we had a free and legitimate election, she would absolutely win.

    But the certainty of the latter makes one of the former (or something else in that vein) extremely likely.

    If she was allowed to run a fully DNC-supported campagin in a free and legitimate election, I don’t think there’s anyone who could beat her.

    But the moneyed class has gained too much through Trump’s malfeasance and corruption, and will gain that much more by 2028, and they’re not going to let that go without a fight. There’s no way they’ll abide the election of somebody the least bit progressive, and I don’t think there’s anything they won’t do to stop it.

    So… yes she’d win, but no, she likely wouldn’t be allowed to win.

        If support of the people was enough, Bernie Sanders would’ve run against Trump in 2016, and would’ve won, and we wouldn’t be where we are now.

        The DNC controls billions of dollars and has a network of powerful connections. They can and will use that against a candidate they don’t want, just as they did to Sanders in 2016 and again in 2020.

          And they will do against AOC in 2028 (if there will be an election). Are there even any alternatives to AOC?
