Well, AOC is only 35 years old and likely has a long future in Congress. I would bet at some point she runs for President.
I don't think 2028 is a realistic time frame.

It was a hard pill to swallow for a lot of people, but the Democratic Party really cut one of their legs out by embracing an establishment candidate like Hilary Clinton in 2016 and again with Biden in 2020 when a significant part of the country was open to a more "populist" candidate like Bernie Sanders.

My guess is that 2028 is the Gavin Newsom candidacy, although Pete Buttigieg could make yet another push. Amy Klobuchar seems nice but I don't think anyone cares about her one way or the other on a national level.

AOC would likely get way too much pushback from the establishment and mainstream Democrats. Plus there might be this fear that running a 3rd woman at this time is politically risky.

Liked by some Trump voters too considering they voted for her in her district
I know the narrative is that we need to run more central, and she kinda is doing that to some extent but she still by far one of the more progressive politicians we have which I think will excite the base. Centrist will deter younger voters and most older voters are hardwired to their political party so it wouldn’t change dramatically imo. These older voters are dwindling by each election cycle so it’s only a matter of time before the country pushes back to the left. Right now it’s leaning right

Not a chance. Too young. Too feminine. And she just doesn't project strength. And this isn't throwing shade against her as a women. I think she'd make a good president. It's just the nature of our current culture. We are at a low stage of development and consciousness as a people. Mexico elected a woman president before we did and that says a lot. Our culture is hyper masculine (contrary to all the hype around society becoming too feminine and 'woke'), bellicose and war like.
