I think Bernie's earned it though. He may be old, but he's still mentally intact. Trump was never mentally intact, and Biden......well........yeah. Biden kinda fell off his rocker. Good man. I wish him all the best, and hope he gets the care he needs. However, we don't really need someone who talks about how we defeated health care running our health care.
I may hate Trump, but he did have one line that I think sealed the deal for Biden. He said "I don't know what he said, I don't think he knows what he said", and everybody just kind of saddly nodded their head, because it was true.
But Bernie will be a firecracker up your ass fighting the good fight for every American. And unlike a lot of these politicians, he's not a phoney. Harris can say that she's changed, and she now stands to legalize marijuanna, and all this other stuff.....but she has a track record. Bernie has a track record too, except he HASN'T changed. There's photos of him in the 60s getting arrested fighting for civil rights. I'd rather he be president than a younger person who may or may not be who they say they are. Plus I like his policies.
I'm right there with you. Bernie totally could have won the general in 2016, and we'd be in a hell of a lot better place now, but he didn't, and sadly that time has passed.
with a receptive white house, Bernie will be a firecracker anywhere. I would be more than happy for Bernie to retain his Senate seat and get the committee assignments that give him maximal internal clout.
At that age mental acuity can go fast. I would vote for Bernie over Trump or Biden in a heartbeat, but I would rather have someone younger.
