If she throws her hat into the ring I fully expect the DNC to sabotage her at every opportunity.

Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!
Rules:
- Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.
Links must be to the original source, not an aggregator like Google Amp, MSN, or Yahoo.
Example:
- Articles must be relevant to politics. Links must be to quality and original content. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and rehosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.
- Be civil, No violations of TOS. It’s OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It’s NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
- No memes, trolling, or low-effort comments. Reposts, misinformation, off-topic, trolling, or offensive. Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.

They will destroy her, she's worse than Bernie because she's not in her 80s, so they will sabotage her in every way possible. It's almost as if their entire scam depends on it keeping people like her out of office. They will at least be sure to keep her out of any leadership role.
I'd love to be wrong, as an Independent I will vote for her over any other person serving in office now. At least she's held an actual job.
The Democratic party is a private institution and won't be swayed by anything as silly as votes.

They'll play nice and keep it on the down low and then pull some Obaman, secret, backroom Super-Tuesday fuckery to steal the momentum and likely nomination from ~~Sanders~~AOC and give it to a center-right, corporatist shill like Buttgiggle or Shamala.

Jefferies will never recover from the AIPAC Shakur nickname. Absolutely wrecked him.

genuinely she's the only worthwhile candidate I can imagine. I really hope she does it.
Well her or Bernie. But.. you know, age and all.
I'd still vote for Bernie, but I don't think he wants to run again. I'd also vote for Sen. Warren.
I generally don't (think I) vote based on demographics. I am more interested in platform (primarily) and past performance (secondarily).
Yeah no one would vote for an old guy
He was pushing it the last time he ran
I agree but I heard him in a recent interview and man is it wild how much sharper he is than Biden and Trump
Hey, I'd still vote for him.. he's proof that it isn't an age problem when it comes to understanding today's needs.

Good, carry on AOC!
I have zero hope she'll win the primary, but I'd bet money she'd win the general if she got to it. The next problem after that though is if she ends up being president in 2028, she'll probably not get jack shit done because of the newly massively gerrymandered congress, intrinsically anti-democratic senate, and actively hostile SCOTUS.
We'd see her win and the american left would get the largest blackpill ever as she gets fucked over and gets barely anything done, is blamed, and then we get Cyber-Trump in 2032.
