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 dunno about that race vs gender analysis.

    Obama sent them into a racist rage, and thats what trump actually campaigned on/what people actually voted on.

    Worse still, thats what hes delivering, and conservatives are mostly happy enough to make sacrifices if it means the dark skinned marginalized people get hurt.
