    As an European (which also means I’m much more politically aligned with AOC), isn’t she far too progressive for the popular vote?

    While I’m in no doubt it would be what was best for the US, does she have the numbers to beat the insurrectionist?

      Bernie Sanders reached more voters on the right than centerist democrats do, hes been on fox news and has in other ways connected with right wing voters publicly, other progressives probably could do the same if they were smart with their messaging. If AOC wasn’t Fox news’ boogyman for years I’d Imagine she win in a blowout. That also probably why she was the boogyman.
