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.
She’s a brilliant person, but the US has repeatedly shown it’s still too misogynistic to elect a woman president.
I don’t think so. Clinton was dislikably arrogant and put very little policy forward. Kamala didn’t have the arrogant of Clinton but still in classic Democratic fashion did very little in the way of policy put forward to earn people’s votes.
The problem isn’t women. It’s shire campaigns and I think people let the DNC off the hook too much. They’re only effective when taking out decent people like Sanders.
Elizabeth Warren was good, had plenty of policy, but people said she was too shrill.
Newsom has a weird voice, but nobody cares.
And failed to drop out when Bernie was still in with a chance to ensure there was a progressive candidate. She had no real chance in the primaries.
Super Oops didnt mean to Tuesday!
Clinton was at one point polling alongside Bernie Sanders as one of the most liked politicians in the USA. She followed a black man and went on before Joe Biden, likeability was not the fucking issue.
What? Really? Your country is insane.
Bernie, I get. Clinton was anything but likeable.

It might be the case. But look at the candidates we’ve had that are women. They’re fucking awful. Hillary has politics that are probably to the right of Nixon, Jill Stein is clearly a Russian operative, and Kamala is a fucking disingenuous cop. So yeah, this country has a shit electorate, but the candidates have done nothing to show me that we absolutely wouldn’t vote for a woman candidate.
Exactly. I woman has 0% chance of winning in the next few cycles. That’s just reality. I love AOC, and I would vote for her in the general, but she would lose.
