    If anyone could run statewide without compromising too much, I would think it is someone like AOC.

      Progressives won’t sell across NY. It ain’t Vermont. She currently represents a D+15 district where that doesn’t matter what that much.

        You’re not wrong and shouldn’t have gotten downvotes. There’s a lot of NY outside the metro areas, and they are rural and conservative. That said, it all depends on where the votes come from and that’s the blue population centers. So while she may not sell across the state, she may sell in enough of the right places to make it.
