Well if Democrats want to decrease their chance of defeating the MAGA horde, sure, let AOC run. Democrats need someone who can draw the Independents. That is, if the U.S. even has elections by 2028. I am hoping to be an ex-pat by 2028 as o have no hope for our future.

The unfortunate ratchet effect. Tea party/maga tapped an alternative group. Dems need to reframe their platform maybe AOC will be a front runner there but it may look very different. Independents may get you an election or two but they'll swing the other way unless you have something solid for them.
