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’m going to lose all my karma. But the democrats don’t need a pretty face.They need a freaking platform.

    she really doesn’t have a chance anyway.She’s too polarizing. Clinton was same the same way.

    We need to beat the republicans, not keep throwing them.Elections. also our identity politics are cringeworthy

      Let me join you in the karma loss:

      Hillary Clinton: Lost to Donald Trump

      Joe Biden: Beat Donald Trump

      Kamala Harris: Lost to Donald Trump

      There are too many Christian swing voters that will NOT vote for a female President, full stop, and that is baked into the Christian psyche. Christians are taught that Woman was first deceived by the serpent and disobeyed God first, and afterwards she took on the role of the serpent and directly tempted Man. It’s why they do not elect a woman into ANY leadership roles within the church.

      I don’t know how many times the Democrats need to lose to learn this lesson, but the fact that nobody recognizes any of this doesn’t bode well.
