"Plotting"? Wtf is this wording?

Plotting, eh? How diabolical of her.

She'll have my vote. ...assuming there is actually a 2028 election. And that we're not extinct by then.

More likely she’s running for senate.

Usually it is said that someone is 'contemplating' or 'planning' a run for office, but since it's about a woman the headline says 'plotting' because that sounds underhanded and nefarious and the media wants to get the framing in place early.

That said, I think it would be better for her to run to replace Schumer in the Senate. A better chance to win and could do more good there.

If this is "plotting", then I am all for this "villain" to win. The wording of the headline implies that AOC is a bad thing, when we got...waves at orange fuckwit

Anyhow, if given the choice between AOC and Newsom, AOC all the way.

Very quaint of them expecting an actual election to happen in 2028

Look if she comes out of the box swinging, and I mean haymakers both left and right, she could do it. The DNC has to have an honest to god real primary and not the horse shit they pulled with Bernie or the last-minute Harris takeover.

If AOC wins a primary and is nominated, hits the ground at a full sprint, doesn't pull punches on either side of the political spectrum, prays to Jah, and crosses her fingers she could do a Billy Clint or Obama. She is going to have to learn to play the Saxophone, confess to smoking weed and inhaling, slow jam the news, and probably host a full episode of SNL not just appear as herself in a sketch. If she did all that and she convinces Jesus to come down from on high and endorse her she has a 50/50 chance.

Oh, and she'll need a gun for her purse like that bargain bin Barbie from Colorado or the dude from Georgia's 14th congressional district.

“Plotting” is an infuriating word choice.

I’d vote for her. I’m not interested in entertaining any arguments about electability. The least electable person in the universe has won the presidency twice. If enough people vote for her she is electable.

"plotting" eh?

She needs to go for Chuck’s seat instead

If AOC is the candidate, it will be the first time since Bernie that I will phone bank, knock down doors, canvas ...... Whatever it takes.

She is one of the few people in politics that I can get behind.

" is reportedly considering running for president or the Senate in 2028."

Stupid clickbait title.

As JD Vance's Peter Thiel funded miracle run through the Senate proved, you don't have to be a Senator long to run for Pres. or VP.

Vance had just two years in professional politics before becoming VP, thanks to Peter Thiel's money and influence.

It's a pay-for-play system, not a Representative Democracy.

I think both oligarchs and corporatists alike will fight far too hard to take her down. The US would need a far more fair and democratic procedure to elect someone that would change the paradigm like AOC--especially since Citizens United.

I like her. She can't win. Go for Senate.

If I'm still in the US by then and we even have elections still, she has my vote.

Yes please if only for her age. I want old people out of power and I mean that across the entire spectrum including Bernie sanders. He would be great in her cabinet but we need young people FFS

I was very disappointed no Tim Walz in that list of other potential candidates. He was the best part of the Harris / Walz ticket

Title is a lie. It says right in the body "president or Senate". Downvote and report.

Here's to hoping AOC is another Mamdani during the primaries.

The DNC would never allow her to win the nomination.

IF there is something to run in 2028.

They need to primary more incumbent Democrats first. A Mamdani win isn’t enough momentum to convince MSNBC watching pearl clutching libs in progressive suburbia to vote for her in a presidential election. These people need to experience what a social democrat or a democratic socialist can do for them on a local level first. NYC is a trail blazer but that doesn’t mean the rest of Democrat voting America is closely behind NY. She has a better chance to win a Senate seat

Water is planning to put out fires in a burning building in 2028

Whatever, I’ll wait for the official announcement. Love AOC but not getting my hopes up. Wait till there’s actual news.

I feel like shit typing this but I'm afraid America will not vote for a woman, each time it's resulted in disaster.

Sure I'll vote for her, but frankly we need a sure thing, we got a lot of mess to fix, starting with shoring up our constitution against bad faith actors and arresting and prosecuting fascist criminals.

Disbanding the heritage foundation, impeach and remove supreme court justices, reverse citizens United, and remove voting rights of all those pardoned for J6.

Fox news should be made an example of with laws preventing their type of misinformation and propaganda and they should be destroyed.

Scientific fact will be the rule and the standard. Education and our core of government will be free from all religion. Any church or religious organizations in politics will be taxed and disqualified from government.

So many people need to face consequences and I hope you all have a list and are keeping score.

The gloves are fucking off.

Good! I hope she comes with some fire, sound policy ideas, and a tight campaign
