(were Obama more partisan, more outspoken, less civil, he'd be on the list-- but then he wouldn't be Obama)

(938 posts)AOC. She is always ready to respond in a way that resonates with youth without completely alienating the old guard. That's a tough row to hoe.
ETA: I'd add Warren to the list.

(1,615 posts)I put AOC first because shes not even 30 years old and is recognized by nearly everyone in the country. When most of the leaders on your list are dead and gone AOC will still be relatively young. Shes our future.
