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.

            Alternative? The United States are done, finished. You really think you are going to vote this shit out? I don’t think you are being lucid here.

            ALL US POLITICIANS ARE ZIONIST. Bernie lived in israel and owns land there. Every single one of them is a corrupt fascist capitalist pig. ABSOLUTELY NOBODY care about the people, they only care about power, money and israel.

            Thank you for admitting that americans will sacrifice ANY non-american person if they can have a non-existent hope of salvation. This is the true essence of supremacy. 🤮

              Voting won’t fix Zionism, but neither will not voting. So you might as well decide based on the things that votes can affect.

              Single-issue-(non-)voting is a blight upon politics. Broaden your horizon. Don’t throw out all civil rights protections and social systems over self-righteous defeatism.

              sacrifice

              Sacrifice implies choice. By your own assertion, there is no choice. Hence, there is no sacrifice.

              The Zionist atrocities are independent of US elections, so stop trying to make the elections about them. Make the elections about the things that do depend on it.

              Most people regardless of state will prioritize their homes. It’s a minority of people that are willing to look outside first. I want to say I am one of those people.

              I have you a chance to be rational here but it looks like you are just noise. I don’t feel the need to defend these statements. I hope you find peace.

                Most people in the US are American supremacists, I agree. Since you are not one of them, doesn’t it sound stupid participating in a fake election system where all candidates are billionaires supremacists for a foreign nation?

                You think I’m mad because I write in capslock? I write like this because the majority of americans are partially illiterate and I want to make my point across.
