      It helps when their brain isn’t actively dripping out of their ears😁. But yeah, wouldn’t you rather have someone who you actually agree with that’s old? Besides, Bernie would have won 2016 if anything, he was almost a decade younger at that point.

        most geriatric ears are loaded with enough hairs to at least slow down any leakage. i can agree with the ideas of some geriatrics sure but there have been quite a few ive been loathe to share the planets oxygen with. most of them in politics. for every decent one like bernie, there are at least 6 that are diametrically aligned.

      Bernie Sanders told me to vote for Hilary Clinton so I voted for Hilary Clinton.

      And then Bernie Sanders told me to vote for Joe Biden so I voted for Joe Biden.

      And then Bernie Sanders told me to vote for Kamala Harris so I voted for Kamala Harris.

      And now Trump is President again.

      I’m beginning to think this guy might not have all the answers.

        correct answers are wholly dependent on factual, unadultrrated, information. trumps crew is populated by numerous adulterers so the game id rigged at the outset

        He endorsed the best chance there was to stop fascists from taking power. To do anything else would’ve been stupid.

        It’s not his fault the dems keep royally fucking it up. It’s not like he has any decision-making power in their party.

          He endorsed them as a last resort when all else had failed. And he immediately became a scapegoat for Clinton after she, too, failed.

          What makes Sanders good isn’t his relentless flogging of the turds the DNC push out every four years.

          It’s not his fault the dems keep royally fucking it up

          No. But I dread to see what kind of hack he’s replaced with when he retires
