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.
Third female candidate in four election cycles. I dunno, feels like we are asking to lose. And again, I would love to vote for her. Just don’t think the populace can muster it. I have lost all faith in Americans. The hope from Obama’s terms is completely gone.
The fun thing about intersectionality is that you could also look at her as the first latina candidate
But looking at what her politics are is somehow never the consideration. In terms of platform, she could hardly be more distinct from either Clinton or Kamala. I like the odds of popular socialist policies much, much better than focus-group tested middling capitalist policies.
Most lemmings do. But it’s about who can finish. I’ll vote for the candidate furthest to the left for as long as I can.
