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.

And you think she can’t win? Why?
Yeah, and it’s been shown that establishment democrats don’t really have the appeal they need to do so. No one gives a shit because they aren’t representing their desires. They’re representing, at best, status quo. If you haven’t noticed that’s not exactly popular at the moment.
That’s exactly the question. I personally thought in 2024 that a paedophile, senile 80yo felon who already lost an election (even from the incumbent position) already wouldn’t be exactly popular either, but here we are.
US presidential elections are so unpredictable, because there’s only two actual candidates in the race, since there’s no run-off or anything like that. There’s no real way to know what’s exactly popular at the moment until it’s too late.
Did Harris lose because she’s a black woman? Did she lose due to unpolar positions? Did she lose because of poor campaign management? Did she lose because russian bots helped Trump? Did she lose because people “had enough of woke”? Did she lose because people just love dementia?
It’s really hard to know, and likely its all of the above to certain degree.
Has it? Biden thoroughly beat Trump. The Kamala was thoroughly beaten.
Biden is very much so establishment
And people realized how shit it was. It wasn’t working for them.

Judging by how you behave you’re not fucking a lot my dude.
Well, surely the right wing democrats will “vote blue, no matter who”, right? I mean Biden got already elected , even though he was clearly unfit, maybe it’s time somebody that isn’t on their deathbed gets into office.

If you imagine a room full of people, where people are evenly distributed according to their political and economic views, there will always be a right wing. Even the US Communist Party has a right wing.
But I would agree that demorats do indeed have brain damage on the right wing.
Compared to Europe, the democrats are definitely right-wing, not even centric. They are very neoliberal and capitalist. Those are all very right-wing ideas. The republicans are currently in the same class as the radical right which is unfortunately making inroads in Europe. But America doesn’t really know a real left except perhaps Bernie Sanders.
