He can’t run for president but he’s already running the country.

    I don’t think AOC would do it. She absolutely could, but my impression of her is that she’d rather take the safe path and run for Chuck’s seat.

      We absolutely need a real progressive candidate to win the democratic nomination in 2028 in order to prevent another fascist regime in the near future.

      But I also do not want to waste an AOC presidential run before she’s successfully built momentum in the senate.

      We are in dire need of more prominent progressives.

      For a young politician, running for president is somewhat a dead end. What do you do for the rest of your life?

        Damn being president is like flipping burgers now.

        More seriously, whatever Obama is doing. A former president AOC would have a lot of influence I think. That said I can see the lack of appeal.
