As much as I would love a very progressive Democrat from New York to be president she realistically has no chance of getting enough voters to win the GE especially in the purple/red states that Harris had a hard time with.

The best she could aim for is running in the primary, shaking up the candidates and getting the winner to adopt her agenda or at least have her as a VP.

To be fair, Harris was a reasonably unlikable candidate. Maybe AOC has similar baggage. I hope not. I’d love to see her at the top of a ticket.

I don’t think AOC has that baggage. Democratic voters want someone that isn’t a corpo-centrist running like being not-Trump is enough. Every argument that can be made against AOC could have been made against Obama in 2006 too, but he had a message that resonated and won. AOC could be in a good position to do something similar. I’d sure vote for her, even if she’s become more mainstream she’s still miles ahead of every other likely candidate.

It doesn’t matter what her message is, no one will hear it because the news will only be reporting on what the white house tells them to report, and if they go off script they will get their licenses pulled or sued for billions.
