Democratic Party would never give him the chance after the narrative about age competency; he's a year older than Biden.
On top of that he's a "radical socialist anarchist protesting rebel".
Unfortunately the Dems are convinced they need a candidate close to centre to pull people from the right - I'm hoping the success of Harris proves this strategy is shit.
I’m talking 2016, and again in 2020.
If Harris fails, they’ll find someone older, whiter, maler, and even closer to a conservative.
They could lose every election ever and still refuse to glance to the left.
Don't always align with him policy wise, but man do I like him as a human being. Always focusing on solutions to issues, not attacking others.
have you seen his old public tv show where he interviewed random people? he speaks to a very young goth looking couple. he's incredibly interested in their opinions and very understanding to their attitude. he's the kind of "old" you want. not bitter and defensive, but engaged, perceptive and understanding.
I have not, but you're exactly right!
i misremembered; they were punks. https://youtu.be/OxpsS2nTntQ
Would be hilarious for him to interview them both now, with more-or-less the same set of questions :)
Here's the same two "mall punks" interviewed in 2020 https://youtu.be/fq97NjNww4w
This is incredible... This is the type of stuff the internet is made for! They are absolutely different than I would have guessed, which is a good thing! I think it's amazing "Mike" was volunteering for Bernie
Which policies don't you align with?
and if he does attack others they are usually being way obstructionist and spreading bs about the issue or the solutions.
The US does not deserve Sanders even though we need him.
As a European I've been looking at America in disbelief, not understanding why Sanders wasn't the most obvious choice all along.
He was, but our voting system is flawed, and corporations influence most things. Bernie is bad for “business”
That's still 20$ more than it should
Small steps my friend. Just take a look at how the republicans do it. First they overturn roe v wade, have the abortion decision decided by the states, and planning in 2025 that no abortion is legal in the country.
Calm down, some billionaire can't afford his third yacht because of this shit.
