None of her "ideas" are tolerable to the majority of the country, like the Green New Deal
On its fifth anniversary, the Green New Deal has indelibly left its mark on climate policy in the United States. Introduced by Senator Edward J. Markey and Representative Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, the landmark resolution laid out an ambitious vision for intersectional climate action in the United States that shaped major pieces of legislation passed under the Biden administration, including the Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act and the Inflation Reduction Act.
Five years since the Green New Deal’s introduction, new polling from Data for Progress finds Americans are taking climate change increasingly seriously. Nearly half (49%) of voters view climate change as more serious now than they did in the past, followed by 33% whose views of climate , view climate change as less serious than they did in the past.
A majority (57%) of voters see climate change and extreme weather events as kitchen table issues, with 22% considering them often and 35% considering them sometimes in discussions at home. What’s more, strong majorities of voters are at least “somewhat concerned” about the impacts of climate change (63%), air and water pollution (74%), and extreme weather events (68%) on their community.

And she was the big proponent of saying "LatinX" which hurts us amongst the broader Hispanic population.
It contends that Hispanic voters who hold socially conservative, anti-LGBTQ views but might otherwise have voted Democratic have become turned off by Democratic politicians’ use of the gender-neutral term “Latinx,” which is being used “to explicitly include gender minorities and broader LGBTQ+ community segments.”
Based on their analysis of a set of population surveys conducted in recent years, Marcel Roman, an assistant professor of government at Harvard, and Amanda Sahar d’Urso, an assistant professor of government at Georgetown University, say Latinos are less likely to support a politician who uses the term “Latinx” in their appeal to voters.
They say the move away from Democratic candidates using the term appears to be driven by the subset of Latino voters who hold negative attitudes toward the LGBTQ community and is not based on a broader reaction against the new term, which first began to appear about 20 years ago.

I think she is leadership material, but unfortunately many Democrats have been primed to hate her by some in the party so I agree that it should be someone else. I think everyone would love someone like Chris Murphy leading us.
