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.

    I feel like shit typing this but I’m afraid America will not vote for a woman, each time it’s resulted in disaster.

    Sure I’ll vote for her, but frankly we need a sure thing, we got a lot of mess to fix, starting with shoring up our constitution against bad faith actors and arresting and prosecuting fascist criminals.

    Disbanding the heritage foundation, impeach and remove supreme court justices, reverse citizens United, and remove voting rights of all those pardoned for J6.

    Fox news should be made an example of with laws preventing their type of misinformation and propaganda and they should be destroyed.

    Scientific fact will be the rule and the standard. Education and our core of government will be free from all religion. Any church or religious organizations in politics will be taxed and disqualified from government.

    So many people need to face consequences and I hope you all have a list and are keeping score.

    The gloves are fucking off.
