Alright then explain Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez's unique appeal. Granted, were she to run for Senate or Presidency, it's still unclear whether AOC would be accepted by enough of the country to win. But she has an "it" factor that's clearly striking a chord with mainstream Democrats on top of progressives, something even Sanders never managed. Maybe it's because AOC knows how to speak digital media better than any Dem, even those her age in Washington right now, but there's something about her that works.
What unique appeal? She, like many niche politicians -Ron Paul, Ross Perot, Ralph Nader, George Wallace - has a subset of voters who are into her but not enough to win any election of note
Possibly. But given the amount of anger toward Dem leadership right now, I have a suspicion Ocasio-Cortez could go further than any of those men in terms of cross-appeal. It really depends on how things play out in the next two years.
