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.
Hillary Clinton won the popular vote. She only lost because of the electoral college, which is an antiquated concept that needs to go away.
Kamala Harris lost because she was a terrible candidate who was shoehorned in at the last second after it became apparent that Joe Biden was unfit to run for a second term. The Democrats and media lied about Biden for so long that it was too late to hold a proper primary. And by then, enough people were so upset that they just didn’t show up to vote, especially since the media kept telling everybody she was going to win for sure.
Oops didnt mean to!
Unfortunately, winning the popular vote doesn’t really count for anything, as broken as it is, the EC is here to stay.
True, but my point was that the reason Hillary Clinton lost wasn’t sexism, it was the electoral college.
I will add that broken systems need to be acknowledged or we will definitely be stuck with them forever.
Maybe by 2276 the National Popular Vote Interstate Compact will finally get enough buy in to render the EC obsolete.
