But that's the main reason that I think she won't be the nominee in 2028. She might not even run. She doesn't fit the current state of play very well. It wasn't all that long ago that she was calling for decriminalization of the border and criticizing de Blasio for not defunding the police enough, which were positions that fit the 2020 landscape far better than the current one. I don't think 2028 is the election cycle where Democrats are willing to put someone with those kinds of recent positions up.

Heh. Who are these democrats that spoke out in favor of the police during the Floyd riots? They don't exist. Her position quickly became the mainstream on policing and crime in blue states. That's why it was such a remarked on thing when DeSantis and other red state governors stood up for law enforcement and public order.

Now dems are gaslighting anyone who will listen to pretend they never supported defunding anything.

AOC likely thinks of herself as President, for sure. But not from her perch in the House. She needs Schumer or Gillibrand to retire so she can have a far better launching pad in the Senate.
