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.

    The thing about AOC is that she can bring in the millennials which far out weigh the normal voting demographic.

    Her first executive order should be to nullify all executive orders Donald Trump ever made.

    Remove that man from history make everyone forget his name.

    You know, kind of what happened with Caligula.

        Funnily enough “Caligula” is actually a nickname (and one depised by the man himself). His actual name at birth was Gaius Julius Caesar (not to be confused with the famous Dictator Gaius Julius Caesar)

          So let’s just call our guy “Diaper Don” in the history books. It’s the best nickname I’ve heard. Pretty fitting to his maturity level and how he’s constantly throwing tantrums.

          Ya… His uncle came up with it after he killed most of his family and sequester him and his sister to an island so he can mentally torture the boy for decades.

          Or something like that.
