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 think running a candidate who actually offers real solutions to the problems people are facing is more important than fitting a particular demographic.
Each of the last three Dem noms were also centrist neolibs.
Yes but centrist neolib would be a massive improvement right now. You have idiotic fascist, the few smart ones sleep with Julius evola under their pillow. Somehow they also have “christians”.
They can unite all kinds of weirdos and the left is divided over too many things.
The point is that they’ll keep losing because you don’t excite people by saying “we’ll make sure things don’t get much worse.”
