Sanders will be 86 by the time of the next election. It’s time to stop pushing for him. It’s not going to happen, and probably wouldn’t be a great idea if it did.
Just have both of them run, while having their opposite number on the VP ticket during the primary. They can agree to have the one with the smaller numbers drop out and give their voters to whoever has a better campaign between them. This way, we get “Must vote for white dude” votes and “we need younger leader” votes.
There is no bloody reason for them to play by “traditional” rules, seeing as how the DNC and GOP don’t give a damn about fair play.
The answer is simple: Bernie can have AOC as his VP, and write a public binding contract where she can remove him from office if she deems his mental faculties to be in decline. Just because it hasn’t been done before, certainly hasn’t stopped the likes of Trump from doing weird things.
Our politics are Calvinball, and the Geronocrats have fundamentally failed to recognize that fact.
I don’t know what you’re even trying to say, but if you’re advocating for a president who would be 90 years old at the end of his first term you’re a fucking idiot. So with that in mind, I don’t care what you’re trying to say.
I’m saying that “too old” means “too far to the left” and that the party would run a fucking mummy as long as it didn’t want to raise the minimum wage or implement universal healthcare.
That’s an interesting one: That dig requires a measure of empathy, a capability often diminished by dementia. Biden had to understand the mindset of his opponent to pick something that would get under his skin in particular. Boy howdy, did it work! The target was totally unable to recognize the bait, and brush it off.
Nah. He did a great job baiting trump in 2019 but in 2024 he wasn’t on his game he wasn’t even in the same city as his game. Trump essentially did brush that remark off, he basically just "no u"ed at it.
Heh, this discussion underscores my point. Here we’re parsing how much age has affected Biden, how much he’s slowed down, how much he struggled to articulate his ideas, which were at least indicative of a fundamentally-sound mind. I mean, he said, “We beat Medicare,” but we all knew what he was trying to say. Meanwhile, his opponent was a gibbering baboon, who got easily emotionally triggered (not a quality I want in a President), and his best response after getting visibly angry was “no u.” But hey, at least he was able to bellow it out, and that feels like strength to monkey brain, so we can pretend he’s not manifesting more and more dementia symptoms as time goes on.
I’m not saying trump isn’t senile. I’m saying he did a much better job hiding it at the debate. He won so hard the dnc ditched Biden as their candidate.

We care about age now that we no longer have to pretend that biden is lucid.
Are you looking for another president who has to be wheeled onto the stage to repeat “and by the way” over and over for 90 minutes?

You were happy with “we finally beat medicare” because he was far enough to the right for you.

Ötzi/Imhotep 2028!
I’m saying that 86 is too old to run for president regardless of policies.
I’m not the party so idk why you’re giving me shit about this. Maybe spend your time bitching at Ken Martin or David Hogg instead.
Biden shouldn’t have fucking run in the first place
The last couple of years have really opened my eyes as to how many Americans are just fucking morons with, like, monkey-level brains.
Quiet voice == losing his mind and not lucid.
Loud voice == strong leader!
oh Bidens only problem was a quiet voice, huh?
No, but he could maintain a train of thought for longer than 2 sentences.
And by the way and by the way and by the way and by the way and by the way and by the way and by the way I’m a better golfer than you
