1. Unfortunately, there's not going to be a President AOC.

America will be just as racist, bigoted, and misogynistic in 2028 as it was in 2024, if not more so.

Republicans at the state level will have undermined and hobbled the democratic process by disenfranchising voters of color, with the help of a Supreme Court poised to further gut the VRA.

Moreover, there’s no reason to believe Hispanic voters won’t again support a white male presidential candidate as they did in 2024.

Given the above and more, there’s no guarantee that a Democratic president will take office in 2029.
