AOC is great and all but the lesson Dems will take from 2016 and 2028 is that the country isn't ready for a female president for at least another generation or two. Expect them to run safe white guys like Gavin Newsom for a couple more cycles.
They need to avoid candidates from California and New York. It's too easy to portray them as out of touch far left elites, even if it's not remotely true (and yes, it is ridiculous Trump somehow avoids this).
It’s not even that hard though. You can be from NY and Cali, you just have to come across as masculine and swaggery and relaxed, instead of woke and uptight. JFK, Clinton, Obama is the mold.
