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.

      Oh, are we gearing up for another round of “Let’s smear one party over an issue that neiher cares about”? I love that! Worked so well last time. Sabotaging the dems in the name of progress and human rights in order to get Trump to tear down both of them.

      The things that matter for an election are the things that the election can change. Support for Zionist atrocities is not one of those things. Focus on the things where they actually are different, because there are a lot of other important problems at stake.

      You won’t help Palestine by propping up Republicans.

        I know my audience don’t worry. Many people don’t want anything to do with zionism and they deserve to know these basic information. You don’t like the truth? talk to AOC and his zio friends Bernie.

          Do you mind giving an alternative for the record?

          Afaik Bernie has been the most outspoken advocate for Palestine in US Congress.

          Im asking you seriously because otherwise you are just noise. The domestic issues are far more important to the average US voter than the atrocities being committed in Gaza by Israel.
