She has used her skills to win concrete, historic political victories.

    It depends on what party she runs as in my opinion. I could see her running in 2028 with the possibility of winning as a Democrat. I feel like America is a long way from electing a Progressive party member to the presidency though, and she is certainly a Progressive.

    The Conservative/GOP party is a party in decline. They peaked probably 20 years ago and really only win national races now by gerrymandering and suppressing votes. There whole platform is really out of touch with the average American citizen and I don’t see them changing anytime soon from fear of losing their evangelical base. A base that is also in decline in America.

      There is no way the Democratic Party would let her win the primaries.

        That is currently true. However, 2028 is a trump presidency and an insurrection away from now so things could change.

        She needs to build enough of a base within the party to make it viable.

        That means creating the bench of local and state officials that share her politics.

          The party needs to stop opposing progressives harder than it does republicans.

              It’s neat how even centrists’ opposition to progressives is progressives’ fault.

                What, everyone should just do whatever AOC says and clap?

                I’m not blaming AOC, just describing the politics of what is going on.

                  Would be a nice change of pace from doing whatever Manchin says and clapping.
