What is a more current rating?
Ratings value in a conversation can expire (that one is over a year old I believe) without another relevant data point existing.
A more relevant rating in this case would be that she just roflstomped her primary.
At least within the Democratic Party in her district we now know she can’t be primaried from the middle successfully.

Winning her 18% white district may not be a good indication that she’s bound for the White House.

With principles, a left wing agenda and a high profile she has a much greater chance of being assassinated than becoming president at any time, and that’s without even factoring in her gender and ethnicity.

Graphic design is her passion.

Is she really, though? Did she have a lot of followers before she ran? Or is she just so refreshingly honest and competent at social media (as a millennial) that in a sea of dishonest scumbag politicians who couldn’t tell you what an emoji is she absolutely rips them to shreds?
This is true.
I know for a fact she’s inspiring people to consider running.
The typical downside to this would be reprisal in an upcoming primary. But they just emptied the clip at her and she’s still standing, so what’s the real downside? Like the fundraising haul she’d get from primarying him would be epic.
No, if she wants it, she will be president someday. She’s an Obama level talent.
This, she’s building a caucus via fundraising efforts. If she keeps this up in a few years when she runs, she’s going to get like 40 Congressional endorsements right off the bat.
She also gets to sort of inherit a movement that he slowly but surely built with decades of authenticity. Think of the power of a movement building up similar to a COVID-19 curve, it starts really slowly and you have a few cases here and there but not that much. Then it starts to build and become noticeable, then a little while later holy shit it’s a mess.
Except in this case it’s not a mess, it’s good.
Give it 4, 8 or 12 years. We’re closing in on the tipping point where being female or Hispanic are not significantly negative things to the vast majority of voters in a presidential run.

USA#1 hasn’t got that long if the Rs field a “credible” but equally Trumpish candidate in 2024 eg Carlson who can autolock in 40% of the vote without trying…and that’s assuming there are even anything you’d recognise as presidential elections in future.

People’s politics often become more right wing as they get older - they become net contributors instead of net beneficiaries, start families and become burdened with financial responsibilities - and it’s dangerous to assume that today’s young centrist liberals will continue to vote D.
