TS RESHAPING POLITICS AOC
WONDER WOMAN Eight years ago, she was the youngest- ever woman to win election to the U.S. House. She is now 36, a year older than the constitutional minimum required to
be U.S. president. Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez doesn’t rule out a run for
the highest of ice — if not in 2028, then down the line. In August, the New York Democrat renewed her national
DSA membership after allowing it to lapse for seven years. She also publicly chronicled her two-week fertility treatment process, including her egg-retrieval procedure, on Instagram. Few doubt she will be a major political figure for a long
time. She publicly aligned herself
with calls to “defund the police.” (

Dr. Abdul El-Sayed: OVERNIGHT SENSATION
The Detroit health director and son of Egyptian immigrants drew a meager 30% of the vote in the 2018 Democratic primary for governor of Michigan, which
was eventually won by two-term Gov. Gretchen Whitmer. That was then, and this is now. At 41, El-Sayed this year
won — albeit by a whisker — the Democrat nomination for U.S. senator. Backed by Sen. Bernie Sanders, El-Sayed is campaigning on a platform of ending all military aid to Israel, Medicare for all, and abolishing ICE.
“The world is gonna end in 12 years if we don’t address climate change.” (

Peggy Flanagan PROGRESSIVE
Margaret “Peggy” Flanagan had her political baptism as a college student, working as a volunteer in the 1990 U.S. Senate campaign of leftist organizer and
progressive hero Paul Wellstone. Following a stint on her local school board and in the
state Legislature, she became the first Native American to serve as lieutenant governor of the Gopher State (with Gov. Tim Walz, the 2024 vice presidential nominee). Wellstone, who died in a plane crash in 2002, would be
proud of Flanagan. Now 46, she stunned most Minnesotans by not only winning the Democrat nomination for Wellstone’s old Senate seat, but by garnering 59% over the choice of the Democratic establishment, Rep. Angie Craig. With campaign assistance from Sen. Bernie Sanders, Flanagan denounced the Israeli strike in Gaza as “genocide,” called for abolishing ICE, and backs Medicare for all.
“We need to rip ICE apart and stop them from terrorizing our communities.” (

Hasan Piker PODCASTER POWER
If anyone demonstrates that podcasts can generate excitement on both sides of the political aisle, it is Hasan Piker. At 35, he is by far one of the most
significant Twitch commentators in the nation. He plays video games with guests such as Rep. Alexandria Ocasio- Cortez, meshing discussion of issues with light-hearted banter.
It is that discussion of issues that has made Piker a polarizing figure. He has denounced Israeli “genocide” in Gaza, justified the 9/11 attack on the U.S., and said Luigi Mangione, accused of the murder of healthcare CEO Brian Thompson, is “hotter than me.”
“America deserved 9/11, dude.” (
