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.
Unfortunately, winning the popular vote doesn’t really count for anything, as broken as it is, the EC is here to stay.
True, but my point was that the reason Hillary Clinton lost wasn’t sexism, it was the electoral college.
I will add that broken systems need to be acknowledged or we will definitely be stuck with them forever.
Maybe by 2276 the National Popular Vote Interstate Compact will finally get enough buy in to render the EC obsolete.
