How do you complain about an old man in power while asking for Bernie? As a non American I don’t comprehend this

[–] [email protected] 14 points 2 months ago (1 children)

He is the singular exception to all of our complaints about age, although we do still complain about his age. He gets a pass because he's been doing the work for decades.

Translation: 'Yes, but this doesn't count because fuck you.'

Use aoc as an example, pass the torch, stop counting on ancient fossils to save you, that's the republican platform.

Bernie has put his money where his mouth is for decades and decades.

This is why people give him a pass

I agree with him, but that doesn’t mean I think he should be president. While I really like the idea of him as president in theory, I do feel that he is too old and that there are too many risks associated with that. We should have age limits regardless of who’s running. But I think he’d make a great advisor to a president regardless—that way if he takes a turn for the worse it doesn’t put the country in any sort of jeopardy.

I would so be up for president AOC with VP Bernie

[–] [email protected] 2 points 2 months ago

Aye that would be acceptable. If you twist my arm, I guess

[–] [email protected] 8 points 2 months ago

No one is asking for Bernie as president anymore-- he's clearly too old. But we like his speeches and party leadership.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 month ago

Bernie is a whole lot more compos mentis than Biden ever was.

The right time to elect him would've been 2016...

[–] [email protected] 1 points 2 months ago

Because they don't want solutions, they want to complain.

It’s arguing in bad faith

They don’t have a legitimate reason for their candidate over a different one so they just repeat fox news talking points
