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.
I mean how many times do we have to learn the hard way that America won’t elect a woman to be president?
Look at this country.
It’s a shitshow.
It didn’t elect a woman when the other option was a felon, rapist, insurrectionist manchild with one failed presidency and two impeachments already under his belt.
Do we really want to do this again when the stakes are so unbelievably high?
Goddamn. People need to get their heads screwed on straight. She isn’t just a woman, she’s also profoundly hated by a lot of Americans for being so progressive. Why the fuck would we do this to ourselves? I mean America wouldn’t even elect Bernie, the male version of her with a lot more experience.
WE NEED TO START LIVING IN REALITY.
I like AOC. I respect her for what she does. But she’s not going to be president in 2028.
This is why we have primaries. We don’t need to guess. The last 3 democratic candidates bypassed the primaries because the dem leadership are morons.
I think it’s not necessarily “because she was a woman”, though without a doubt it was factor.
it was also because they were out of touch neoliberals. Hillary was clearly playing dirty with Bernie, and Kamala was actively participating a genocide.
Sometimes the best candidate is a woman and nothing can be done about that. I feel like trying to “game the system” is what has caused so much problems with democrats, historically.
They’re always trying to speculate about what their most bigoted neighbor would tolerate instead of trying to inspire left-of-center voters to show up. If we let these worrywarts pick, we wouldn’t have had Obama.
Ive been here since 1975 and America has never had a decent human as a president.
But next time, right?
Not even Jimmy?
Or Obama?
If the GOP wasn’t so strong he could have done a lot more good as well.
We need to change the house and senate, blue cities and states are so under representated
