Its definitely going to be Harris but there’s no better president-maker position than VP and VP AOC has been my pipe dream for this election. I don’t even think she’s the best progressive but I’ve joked with my friends AOC getting the VP nod right as shes turning 35 would make me believe in God.
She is in a completely safe district meaning that there are no downsides to promoting her as VP (or Senator for that matter). I could also imagine her going the route of Governor to gain some executive experience.
Last time I checked, which was quite a while ago, AOC was one of if not the most popular politician in America. Bernie would’ve won in 2016 if not for DNC shenanigans, and there’s a strong possibility of the same for 2020.
Can you define terms more specifically? Is AOC more popular in her district than others are in their districts? Or is AOC more popular across the country? I suspect the latter isn’t true, as she fills a relatively small niche. The former could be true, due to her district and how unpopular most politicians are.
As for Bernie, he might’ve won the primary, and possibly beaten Trump. But he would’ve been eaten alive by a Rubio or Christie, which is what everyone expected them to land on. Trump was widely regarded as a joke candidate that would disappear by election day.
Its not her fault, the Right has built up a caricature of her and their media has pushed that caricature for years. So as much as Democrats love her and her positions, Republicans hate her and the lies they are fed every day about her positions.
If that’s true, I’m hoping they put up AOC. Maybe I should say “wish” because I’m near-certain they won’t.

It’d be really nice, yeah. 🥲

That would be great, but I’m not sure she would win. Obviously I don’t know, but it seems like moderates on the democratic side do better.

I’d enjoy Katie Porter. Not sur how the rest of America feels about that, but if I don’t get her as senator, I’d be tickled to have her as Prez.
