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.
And the status quo liberals will coalesce like Voltron to stop her just like they did with Bernie.
You all know that next US president will be Donald Trump Jr, 5-6 terms, maybe more. It’s scary but possible. Trump (demented one) is working on that.
Lol the DNC has chosen Newsom as the new golden boy.
The DNC would run the corpse of Hillary Clinton again before letting a progressive have power.
I would love for AOC to actually be allowed to be voted on, because she would probably win the popular vote like progressives almost always do.
I appreciate Bernie for being an adult and helping to boost up the people that will be here after him.
Most every other politician, when they aren’t cramming their unqualified, entitled broodspawn where they don’t belong, is gnawing off limbs trying to make sure they’re entombed with their positions like the pharaohs.
If you even get to 2028, good luck.
Harris was just Biden extended and I think the lack of voter turnout amongst democrats despite the stakes showed what a big disadvantage being a woman is.
The fact 2016 popular vote was close was crazy, but then you have a (half) black woman?
I dunno.
She’s one of the best already in the system, but she’s nowhere as quick quitted or ready on her feet as Mamdani, and more than that, unless they get the house and a super majority in the senate, it’s going to be very hard for her to promise things that will actually come true.
All of that of course has the background where the US might very well not have a 2028 election, especially if they don’t have a massive change in power in the 2026 mid terms.
I would love it. I would love a coloured woman in the top position as a direct pendulum swing back from Trump, but I am also pragmatic and I’m not sure the racism wouldn’t win over actually having a more progressive platform.
Give me the most balls left big balls fucking make my day powerful bitch we got. We have SO MUCH bullshit to undo and redo.
If it’s AOC, she better do it right.
If the democrats actually nominate her it will be because she has stopped doing it right.
Make another party, then.
Crockett. I think she has the right energy and confrontation attitude we need.

As a fucked up two-party system, the US cant really have female presidents. The candidate needs to round up new voters while retaining the old voters. A female candidate is sure to lose a lot of votes, just because she’s female and way too many idiots are uncomfortable with a woman in charge of something.
While I’d love to see AOC as president, I think the democrats badly need to find a male to take the role as candidate.
Zionist endorses zionist.
I think AOC is perceived as a brat by most of the right and it is thus unlikely she could win. I’d love for her to win, but it won’t be her.
We should run Mamdani in 2028. And before anyone tries to “umm actually” the idea, Mamdani can run for president using the exact same loopholes that Trump intends to use for run for a third term.
You have to admire his belief that there will actually be a 2028 presidential election.
Non an american but I feel like US needs a revolutionary candidate to come back from Trump. It has to be someone strong enough to put nazis back into their place.
It’s still early to talk about this though right? From what I understand the upcoming midterms will shape everything else.
She’s a brilliant person, but the US has repeatedly shown it’s still too misogynistic to elect a woman president.
Exactly. A 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.
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.

What? Really? Your country is insane.
Bernie, I get. Clinton was anything but likeable.

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!
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.
Why not Walz? I want him as pres.
Hrm…
Guess yall love having Dumpy as pres. Have fun with that!
Idiots. This is why the fascists keep winning. You will not get a woman as president in this country, especially not one as “radical” as AOC. Suck it up and try to get someone who isn’t Hitler 2.0.
Ew, reddit is leaking again. 🤮🖕🏼

Harris and Clinton have a lot in common and I don’t think the fact that they both have vaginas is the most prominent shared reason that they lost their respective elections. I have no doubt that there is a subset of voters who would never vote for a woman but I’m pretty confident most of them are Trump voters anyway.
If a progressive woman similar to AOC loses then I’ll concede the point. Until then I believe it’s mostly the unpopular status quo platform causing the problem.
They absolutely are. A women has 0 chance of winning the next few election cycles. It’s bullshit, but it’s reality.
Newsom or Pritzker are our best bets.
