  • I hate how so many progressives are calling for AOC to run for President in 2028. If she wins and has a Democrat-controlled senate, she’ll still have Schumer as as blocker. If she primaries Schumer and is successful, a huge obstacle to progressivism is removed and a progressive Senator is installed. While that doesn’t guarantee that the Senate would be led by a Progressive, it puts senators like Warren, Wyden, and Merkley in the running.

    She could also stay there for 6-18 years, building the political capital to make a very strong run for President, and let more of the generational shift happen first. I personally think that a run in 2036 or 2044 would be a better target for her.

    Since Presidents historically come out of Governor’s or Senate offices, I think this would be the best way for her to make a successful run.
