      As a huge Sanders fan, he’s too old as well now. AOC for sure, but sadly in this shithole country that’s a pipe dream.

          I’m fine with her choosing whatever she wants to do (or not do), because she’s already been given an incredibly difficult time just being a House Rep. But if she ran for President, I’d campaign for her non-stop from announcement to election day.

            Oh same, and we need more dems like her in general, but I’m not going to be too disappointed when she chases Pelosi’s job instead.

      It could’ve been Sanders back in '16, maybe '20, but he’s too old now. Don’t switch one senile old fuck out with another.

      I’d be very pleased with AOC, but she isn’t too popular with a lot of people.

        to be fair, Bernie has not lost a single step but, as a pragmatist, I think he would say his most effective position moving forward is in the senate.

      And look at that, AOC turns 35 in October (minimum age for presidency)! If only half of this country wouldn’t see her rise to such a stage as some affront to their white misogynistic identity, we could actually see real progress take shape.

      But yeah, Biden should not have ran and should have let someone younger and more cognitively astute in-the-moment take the stage. He’s probably a good person and probably a good family patriarch, but he is past the point of needing to step down.
