Politico ran this enthralling headline two days ago:” AOC seizes the second as Dems seek a novel identity.” Wonderful tale! It portrays Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez as the Once and Future Queen of Liberaldom, the future of her group.

For blatant reward
Ocasio-Cortez, 35, is one of the most well-known Democrat politicians; in the first weeks of Trump’s presidency, fundraising has increased dramatically. In the first three weeks of 2025, she raised$ 9.6 million, which is more than twice what she’d ever raised in a third. She can use the money to help prospective friends, grow a bigger business, or save for a 2028 run for president or Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer’s chair.
Fox News followed suit in the days that followed, quoting:” Schumer sinks, AOC rises in fresh surveys as progressive voters demand harder collection on Trump.” More activity for AOC!
FNC noted:” After the condition gloating over Schumer’s decline,
…Rep. Numbers are exploding in Alexandra Ocasio-Cortez ‘s . The four-term Democrat from New York City and a progressive champion, Ocasio-Cortez, has a 47 % favorable and 33 % unfavorable rating among New York state voters. That’s a change from the previous four years ago Siena inquiry into Ocasio-Cortez among a nationwide sample of respondents, 38%-39 %.
It’s around! It’s ultimately here, at last! AOC is in for a minute!  ,
BABY, IT’S PARTY TIME! !
Well, recork your champagne and put away your party hats: On April 23, NPR ( i .e., what liberals call “free MSNBC” ) changed the terms and created a brand-new story called” The next AOC.” Young Democrats want to remove members from their own group.

The following AOC?
Garsh, that was quick.
Actor Don Johnson once referred to his vocation as “four stages,” and he affectionately referred to them as” levels” after the casting director’s battle cry.
- ” Who the Devil is Don Johnson,” you ask?
- ” Get me Don Johnson!”
- ” Get me a person like Don Johnson” asks the question.
- ” Who the Devil is Don Johnson,” you ask?
AOC is already in step three, and it’s not even May 2025.
She reached her peak very soon.
Nobody else is also close to the Democratic Party’s 2028 presidential election, and neither do critics and pollsters, who have a right to say that. Their favored candidate will have the highest room in the elections because the far left of their group is enthusiastic and motivated. Bernie Sanders is the ONE prospect who could easily run to her left, but she has nicely opted to support the Bernie Brothers and/or Social Movement. It is now sister.
It may take a sincere communist to move to her left at this point. ( Shh. Don’t give them any suggestions.
Her abrasion is not therefore intellectual. And in any case, the so-called “moderate flap” of the Democrat Party isn’t strong enough to heal a fatal wound. Several” 28″ candidates, including Governor. The play features the democratic Uniter, portrayed by Californian actor Gavin Newsom, who could advance progressive policies without causing conventional opposition. He made a statement to The Hill about his allegations in a bit titled” EXCLUSIVE: Newsom on Democrats:” I don’t understand what the group is.”
Newsom has ( badly ) misread the space. The populist center is shrieking. They are perpetually PMS-free. They are opposed to a Unifier! Ha!! That is the last item they want.

A battleship is what they want.
They are pleading for a lord who will crush MAGA into a million pieces, destitute Tesla, and provide a kilogram of body from their enemies ‘ bloody, dismembered bodies. You didn’t get the Democratic candidacy if you don’t know that.
So they’re not actually looking for a lawmaker, that’s what. They desire an image, a revenge vessel. They want to use the hottest metal in the fire to decapitate MAGA.  ,
The issue is that by the day 2028 rolls around, AOC’s copper may be room temperature.
The shelf life of Being the Next Big Thing is brief. The innovation later wears off. And when it does, you’re outdated information.  ,
Between now and November of 2028, AOC will be giving thousands of speeches, ( ghost ) writing thousands of op-eds, posting thousands of snarky posts on social media, and making thousands of personal appearances. Additionally, she’ll cast a vote on numerous payments.
Perhaps we are underestimating her because she is a generational social architect with a lot of material. If therefore, she might be able to handle the demands of running for president in a manner that is both liberal and conservative.
However, if she’s something less, therefore this was too much, too quickly.
Because there will finally be a new Shiny Object.
Let me give you a hint about who the Democrats will inevitably choose as their group’s nominee: Joe Biden wasn’t forced by a politician to step down, if you recall. It was George Clooney, an artist. Additionally, the most-discussed social op-ed from 2025 didn’t originate from a legislator either. It was authored by actor Larry David.

Democrats no longer consult with the social class. They pay attention to Hollywood.
The leisure industry will be the Democratic Party’s 2028 choice.
Since she’s more famous than politician, this doesn’t completely undermine AOC’s possibilities. However, she’s not the only left-leaning person who can read a conversation using a teleprompter.
By the time 2028 floats around, AOC’s statements may be heard thousands of times, with the biggest difference being that. By therefore, she will be considered outdated.
She does too.
This will give a liberal celeb the chance to enter at the last minute, be viewed as bright and new, and emerge as the ideal depiction of left-wing anger.
Perhaps it will be Stephen A. Smith-like. ( I’m betting on Rachel Maddow, Jon Stewart, or Jen Psaki. ) You probably already know the Democrats ‘ nominee, but don’t expect to run.
That is exactly how the breeze blows.
