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.
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.
