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.
AOC supports Israel. We cannot have pro-Israel candidates. If AOC is the candidate, I’m not voting for her.
Yes let’s split the left some more 👍
That’s what leftists want. There is zero unity on the left. I get mobbed on here for saying I’ll vote as far left as I can before I’m forced to vote centrist. It’s a reality. We’ve faced that reality three cycles in a row now. The right has nothing but unity. I’ll vote for a leftist female as far as I can. Will the rest of the left?
Artificial dichotomies are unfortunately a consequence of the voting system. Would you consider voting for her if the Republican rival was just as pro-Israel or more? Or slightly more pro-Palestine but very much against you in many other issues?
I have had this discussion many times. They do not seem to understand that not voting for Dems because of Israel just enables Bibi’s buddy who is currently tearing down the White House.
Grow the fuck up, you’re not a child anymore
There’s exactly 0 politicians opposing Israel in all of USA. Which one do you think should run for president?
Look what not voting has done you stupid fucking ingrain.
Go throw yourself in the line of fire, it will literally do less damage to all the people that the Nazi pigstate is doing to America right now.
Holy fucking shit you people are so pathetically useless.
There’s so many of them on Lemmy it’s wild. These little fucks better get out and vote for the Democrat whether it’s a centrist or not. The alternative is GOP. I seriously don’t get what they don’t get.
