    She’s a firebrand—that’s not an insult. But it is a fact that if the DNC puts her to run, she will mobilize a lot of voters who may otherwise sit this one out. Hard to say definitively how many on either side; but I think she’s likely more hated by the rightwing base than she is loved by the left wing/centrist base.

    I don’t think it would be a good strategic move in this cycle. Although I’d love to see her in the Oval Office and would vote that way should the chance arise.

      Uh, late 40s here. I didn’t want to vote for Clinton (I did), but I’ll be first in line for AOC. She’s the right kind of direction to inspire us Genx who vote liberal. Time for Joe to step down.

      Any good leftist candidate would mobilize opposition voters, that is unavoidable. It’s no reason to not run a good candidate.

      Agreed on this cycle. Agree or not we’ve got Biden. That’s not changing and that’s who I’ll be behind. But damn, next cycle if she’s in the primary I’m going to get even more involved than I already am.
