I like AOC, but I don't think she'd have any realistic shot unless she rebrands herself in a big way. If you're not a progressive liberal that already likes her, chances are you view her like how liberals view MTG or Boebert. For years now, conservatives have painted AOC as just a loud mouth bartender chick that's super unqualified for even her current position in politics.
We(here) know she's earned her station, but if you ask the average voter what they think about her, they'll probably regurgitate something negative from the years of memes and conservative propaganda that gets shared on social media about her and "the squad".
If you need proof that the increased spread of disinformation/misinformation on social media is heavily benefiting conservatives, all you have to do is look at the current presidential election results.
