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 know this sounds retarded, but if Texas doesn’t turn blue we are all fucked. Why would I say that? Because they fucked up the gerrymander data and have razor thin districts now. If there isn’t a huge push against Republicans I am not sure if we will have another chance of fair elections.

      Californian here, fuck Texas. We’re gerrymandering back and all the other states should too. Stop playing fair.
