Propaganda, as is usual
It worked so hard. I'm voting for her because this means she's serious.

She'll have my vote. ...assuming there is actually a 2028 election. And that we're not extinct by then.

Usually it is said that someone is 'contemplating' or 'planning' a run for office, but since it's about a woman the headline says 'plotting' because that sounds underhanded and nefarious and the media wants to get the framing in place early.
That said, I think it would be better for her to run to replace Schumer in the Senate. A better chance to win and could do more good there.

If this is "plotting", then I am all for this "villain" to win. The wording of the headline implies that AOC is a bad thing, when we got...waves at orange fuckwit
Anyhow, if given the choice between AOC and Newsom, AOC all the way.

Look if she comes out of the box swinging, and I mean haymakers both left and right, she could do it. The DNC has to have an honest to god real primary and not the horse shit they pulled with Bernie or the last-minute Harris takeover.
If AOC wins a primary and is nominated, hits the ground at a full sprint, doesn't pull punches on either side of the political spectrum, prays to Jah, and crosses her fingers she could do a Billy Clint or Obama. She is going to have to learn to play the Saxophone, confess to smoking weed and inhaling, slow jam the news, and probably host a full episode of SNL not just appear as herself in a sketch. If she did all that and she convinces Jesus to come down from on high and endorse her she has a 50/50 chance.
Oh, and she'll need a gun for her purse like that bargain bin Barbie from Colorado or the dude from Georgia's 14th congressional district.
Very quaint of them expecting an actual election to happen in 2028
Even Russia is a "democracy".

“Plotting” is an infuriating word choice.
I’d vote for her. I’m not interested in entertaining any arguments about electability. The least electable person in the universe has won the presidency twice. If enough people vote for her she is electable.
AOC concocts DEVIOUS scheme to repossess burger from McDonalds using PRIVATE bank account funding
AOC buy lunch at McDonalds.
AOC funds animal murder with her own monies.
If AOC is the candidate, it will be the first time since Bernie that I will phone bank, knock down doors, canvas ...... Whatever it takes.
She is one of the few people in politics that I can get behind.
" is reportedly considering running for president or the Senate in 2028."
Stupid clickbait title.
As JD Vance's Peter Thiel funded miracle run through the Senate proved, you don't have to be a Senator long to run for Pres. or VP.
Vance had just two years in professional politics before becoming VP, thanks to Peter Thiel's money and influence.
It's a pay-for-play system, not a Representative Democracy.
I think both oligarchs and corporatists alike will fight far too hard to take her down. The US would need a far more fair and democratic procedure to elect someone that would change the paradigm like AOC--especially since Citizens United.

I like her. She can't win. Go for Senate.
Any democrat who runs on a populist message that doesn't just pander to working Americans can win the presidency... just not the primary.
If I'm still in the US by then and we even have elections still, she has my vote.
I was very disappointed no Tim Walz in that list of other potential candidates. He was the best part of the Harris / Walz ticket
