She’s embarked on a nationwide tour with Vermont’s Independent Senator Bernie Sanders, held town halls outside of her district in upstate New York, and raised $15 million
Democratic Representative Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, a progressive who has cemented her popularity with young voters, is reportedly considering running for president or the Senate in 2028.
Ocasio-Cortez, 35, made a splash when she was elected to represent New York’s 14th congressional district, located in the Bronx and Queens, in 2019. Now, the Democrat is reportedly considering taking the next step in her political career as the party searches for its next generation of leaders, Axios reported Friday.
Members of Ocasio-Cortez’s team have recently been positioning the progressive lawmaker, known as AOC, to either run for president or run for a Senate seat.
“Plotting” is an infuriating word choice.
I’d vote for her. I’m not interested in entertaining any arguments about electability. The least electable person in the universe has won the presidency twice. If enough people vote for her she is electable.
Plotting, eh? How diabolical of her.
If this is “plotting”, then I am all for this “villain” to win. The wording of the headline implies that AOC is a bad thing, when we got…waves at orange fuckwit
Anyhow, if given the choice between AOC and Newsom, AOC all the way.
Yeah, I was giving side-eyed to that choice of word, too. Why not just use the word “planning”? The word “plotting” sounds like a snarl word.
Yes please if only for her age. I want old people out of power and I mean that across the entire spectrum including Bernie sanders. He would be great in her cabinet but we need young people FFS
Why? I’m all for AOC and it has nothing to do with her age. I don’t see anything magical about someone’s age when it comes to setting policy. I like AOC, but I also like wisdom and experience.
Geriatrics running the country don’t have to worry about personally experiencing any of the negative long term consequences of their actions.
Maybe, but if they are progressive and/or have basic empathy and understanding, they understand the morality of planting a seed you may never see become a tree.
Young demons that have been radicalized by The Algorithm and the GOP are not going to GAF if they have the wrong ethics, no matter what age they are.
