You go, girl!

Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez is reportedly considering a run for the Senate or potentially the White House in 2028. Her ambitions might benefit the country, albeit perhaps not in the manner she envisions.

This could compel the Democratic Party to choose between distancing itself from the far left or fully embracing it, which might result in significant losses, thus paving the way for the emergence of a new, sensible liberal party.

Since the breakdown of the 2024 Biden re-election campaign and the disastrous Harris-Walz “politics of joy” effort, Democrats have been struggling. They are searching not just for a figurehead, but for a platform that can garner national majority support.

Some Dems — including James Carville, the ghost of ’92 — say the party, bleeding registrations and with fundraising in the toilet, needs to abandon the “woke” program and get back to basics.

Others insist that Democrats need to get with the times: Kamala tried too hard to be a moderate; what the American people want is a leader who will pull the ship of state hard left.

As proof they point to Zohran Mamdani, the socialist who rose from nowhere to win the Democratic mayoral primary here: What more evidence do you need that America is desperate to defund the police, give kids free sex changes and seize private property?

Yet Mamdani, like AOC in her landmark upset of Rep. Joe Crowley in a 2018 primary, triumphed only over tired and utterly transactional “moderate liberals” — not anyone voicing anything like a principled liberalism.

Should she challenge Sen. Chuck Schumer in 2028, she’ll face an incumbent who can do that — even if, as Senate Democrats’ leader, he’s been publicly quiet about how profoundly wrong he knows the hard left to be.

She might beat Chuck, but New York Republicans have years to prepare a candidate who can trounce her in the general.

Same for a presidential run that year: It’s easy to see Ocasio-Cortez making mincemeat of a hollow pretty face like California Gov. Gavin Newsom, but some serious moderate like Pennsylvania’s Gov. Josh Shapiro is another matter — and the GOP nominee will be no walkover.

We hope she goes big.

AOC is well on her way to becoming the voice and face of her party’s left: Last week’s low, dishonest smearing of the late Charlie Kirk can only cement that leadership.

Go for it, Sandy.

Let’s see if New York-style fiscal fantasy, taxation tyranny and compliance with criminality are what America is really and truly pining for.
