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.

    Let me know when you people want to return reality.

    The reality that non-voters allowed to happen? The reality that you’d like to continue happening?

    Also please stop saying the US has nothing to do with zionism

    The election doesn’t, because there’s no non-zionist candidate.

    The US absolutely does.

      Are you having a stroke or are purposely this stupid?

      there’s no non-zionist candidate.

      So, you are admitting the US is a zionist dictatorship committing genocide. But that’s okay, because it doesn’t involve precious americans. Totally normal behaviour.

      The reality that non-voters allowed to happen?

      …and somehow the fault is to the people who realised this and decided not to play the zionist election and be complicit in GENOCIDE.

      Listen man, if you wanna discuss how to take a gun and hunt down the orange cunt, I’m ok. Otherwise please shut the fuck up, this is embarrassing.

        It’s Zionist for sure. I’m not quite sure about dictatorship yet, because a dictatorship involves more than one issue, but yes, the US regime is complicit in genocide.

        But that’s okay, because it doesn’t involve precious americans.

        No, it’s still shit and I never said it wasn’t.

        and somehow the fault is to the people who realised this and decided not to play the zionist election and be complicit in GENOCIDE.

        No, it’s not, because they never had a choice. Maybe in lower-level local or regional elections, but not in the presidential ones. But neither are the ones that did vote for either candidate complicit or culpable, because they also had no other option.

        The fault lies entirely with the leadership of the two dominant parties.

        What the non-voters are culpable for is all the other shit going on that they did have options on: The crackdown on civil rights, DOGE gutting the government, fucking up scientific integrity, ICE terrorists, the whole “he’ll get a third term” issue you brought up, the tide of emboldened fascism sweeping across other parts of the world too.

        If there was any chance of solving the Zionist Problem democratically, it would have been through the party that didn’t openly announce their intention to do away with democracy.

        So if it becomes a dictatorship now, it’ll still be a Zionist one and you’ve accomplished exactly nothing.

        Are you having a stroke or are purposely this stupid?

        I’m not the one sacrificing liberties and progress for a single issue that wasn’t at stake. What was at stake is the additional violence happening now.

        You didn’t stop the genocide. You just allowed more of it to happen.

        And you’re doing it again.

          I’m sorry, I could go line by line and try to explain how delusional this wall of text is but I don’t see the point really. You see the evidence, you know it is true and yet you manage to say this:

          If there was any chance of solving the Zionist Problem democratically, it would have been through the party that didn’t openly announce their intention to do away with democracy.

          Like… what the fuck am I supposed to say at this point? “No Billy, the evil people will never propose to not be evil”?

          You know the strategy is divide and conquer, thats the purpose of the two party system. It has always been like this. Always. You know it. And yet you still blame your neighbours and friends. I hope from the bottom of my heart I’m talking to a bot.

          Last thing: from a citizen of one the outpost colony, I’m happy the empire is in this state. If making some US supremacists suffer will help free the rest of world, so be it. These are the true colors, a falling empire run by criminal rapist pedo king. After killing millions of people, american supremacists deserve zero sympathy.

            But you’re not making the supremacists suffer. You’re enabling them to be even more supremacist. Trump is all about US supremacy, shedding all polite pretenses and diplomatic restraint. I don’t think the empire is falling.

            And it doesn’t help free the rest of the world either. All over Europe, right wing populists and fascists are getting bolder and more dangerous. If anything, it’ll spark more supremacy and more violence.

            If the strategy is to divide and conquer, the countermeasure would be to unite and resist, not to split up one side even more until the whole thing becomes a no party system.
