“Trumpism is not going to be defeated by inside-the-Beltway politicians,” he said.
He’s also an 83 year old white man, and we learned with Biden that the democrats don’t like that.
I don’t think he has a huge base of people asking him to run for president again. Even being a Bernie bro, I know his chance for that passed back in 2020. Hopefully, we as a society will be ready for the next person who takes up the fight.
Between the two, I like Sanders more…but I want to see AOC on the ballot, not him. And I won’t pretend it’s not ageism - I am so tired of old people running the country.
If AOC was president, Sanders would surely get an important role and continue to do great work. The presidency is a LOT of work, it ages you fast.
If you can’t see the cognitive differences between these two then… You might be Joe Biden.
Oh look. Age suddenly matters again now that we’re talking about an old progressive.
Biden won because he wasn’t progressive in the slightest. It’s a sad truth.
