Members of the Democratic Socialists of America are thinking seriously about a national presidential campaign for Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez in 2028 that would reach millions of working people and have the potential to transform American politics.

    She is 37 and the youngest president was Kennedy at 43. Median age of elected presidents is 55. I would say give her a few more years.

      shes the most popular candidate out there right now. she should run. the reason she will never win though, is because corporate america won’t let her.

        Ossoff is pretty freaking popular also. And people need to understand that just because someone identifies as Democrat does not mean they’ll vote for a woman.

          Some polls didn’t include all candidates

          What a ridiculous methodology. There’s literally no reason to treat the results of this poll as even remotely truthful.
