I wonder how far away we are from AOC being able to run for President, and have a possibility of actually winning.
2028?
2032?
Only when majority of the Boomers have died off? Or will Gen-X turn all grump and conservative in their old age and become the new Boomers once they've inherited all their Boomer parent's wealth?
Full disclosure: I'm a Gen-X'er
I'd say she'd have a decent shot at 2028. It doesn't seem like there's a natural successor to Biden like Hillary was to Obama, so my prediction is that the primary is going to be wild
Of course we have a natural successor to Biden, it would be his VP. What's her name again?
Ugh, please not Kamala. As CA AG she had some extremely scummy people in her orbit, one of which was known for making his secretary bend over so he could look at her ass. This dude was part of her entourage; she had to have known.
Among other things, yep. She wrote a book on this topic, but you can hear her talk about it when she was on her publicity tour. That'll tell you everything you need to know. And the thing is ... she knows better. Her entire family threw shade at her for it.

I think I'd prefer So and So. She seems to have her shit together more than Whatsherface.
