Sayed and Mamdani are a wash, Idk about Khan, but Talarico and AOC are great liberals.

Talarico and Troy are the only ones I could see winning nationally, AOC is great but she’s too urban for the swing states and the majority of rural America. I could totally see her being a stellar speaker of the house or senate leader tho. Similar with Mamdani as he is uniquely best suited for NYC only

Ossoff is liberal-progressive but he’s my favorite for national elections

I don’t think Mamdani’s tankier policies are gonna pan out well in NYC in the long run and that’s going to taint him both for the DSA for not being commie enough, and for moderates for being too commie. AOC’s biggest challenge really is that she has a vagina, but I guess that’s the harsh way of saying she couldn’t get enough rural support. Ossoff is a goat tho. I’ll have to look into Troy, not super familiar with him.
