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.

    I appreciate Bernie for being an adult and helping to boost up the people that will be here after him.

    Most every other politician, when they aren’t cramming their unqualified, entitled broodspawn where they don’t belong, is gnawing off limbs trying to make sure they’re entombed with their positions like the pharaohs.

      It really is something that a black man elected as POTUS managed to get somewhat decent affordable healthcare for all. Really goes to show a lot of politicians, regardless of beliefs, are only serving their own interests and of their donors.

      The American people are just a byproduct. When will the masses learn we are engaged in a 2 front war: Republicans that became Nazi’s over a dpan of a few decades and the Ownership class making regular citizens fight amongst themselves.
