Why do people on here insist we stop listening to and electing 80 year olds into office, but that view seems to vanish when it comes to Bernie? Seems so hypocritical.
I want all these old fucks out, including him.
Because the old guys did some messed up shit in the past. Also they barely care for the future and are disconnected from the young.
Bernie has consistently stood on the side of civil rights and good over the course of his life. If I perceive him correctly he also still interacts favorably with young political movements ans opinions.
Bernie has been pretty consistently progressive throughout his whole career, unlike almost any other politician. He stayed true to his convictions, and his opinions were so progressive for his time that he was ostracized for them. So his opinions are still held in high regard amongst the younger generations who are more progressive than their parents.
Also, I haven’t heard anybody say that we shouldn’t listen to older people, just that they shouldn’t be running for President. Almost everybody would agree that he is too old to be running for the Presidency now, even most of his supporters, and probably Bernie, himself.
Bernie is literally saying Harris will say anything to win. Just like every other politician, how insightful.
But wait fox says she is way left of Bernie
For a presidential candidate Harris has a surprising amount of values that resonate. Presidential candidates in the US are never good people but that doesn’t mean we should pick the most degenerate weirdo we can find like trump.
She’s not progressive. But she’s not trump and that’s all that matters.
I think Bernie is just being pragmatic. But, that might be giving him too much credit.
I agree she’s better than the only viable alternative.
We really need to replace FPtP and the Electoral College. Approval voting is pretty simple, and would improve both the primaries (if kept) and the final.
