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 will vote for whoever wins the primary, and I will tell everyone else to vote for whoever wins the primary, as well. I’ll go door to door for them.
However, after what happened to Hillary and Harris, I do wonder if our chances are actually worse with a woman in the general election. This country sucks.
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.
