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.

    AOC supports Israel. We cannot have pro-Israel candidates. If AOC is the candidate, I’m not voting for her.

      Artificial dichotomies are unfortunately a consequence of the voting system. Would you consider voting for her if the Republican rival was just as pro-Israel or more? Or slightly more pro-Palestine but very much against you in many other issues?

        I have had this discussion many times. They do not seem to understand that not voting for Dems because of Israel just enables Bibi’s buddy who is currently tearing down the White House.

      There’s exactly 0 politicians opposing Israel in all of USA. Which one do you think should run for president?

      Look what not voting has done you stupid fucking ingrain.

      Go throw yourself in the line of fire, it will literally do less damage to all the people that the Nazi pigstate is doing to America right now.

      Holy fucking shit you people are so pathetically useless.
