    We could’ve had Bernie in the Whitehouse. He really could have been president. This country is doomed.

      I remember arguing with my boomer parents about Sanders when he was winning primaries. I shit you not, my mother looked me dead in the eye and said: “Bernie is too old. We need Biden.”

      I’ll definitely never forget that.

          I made that argument too. Something tells me there was something else about Bernie she didn’t like. But she was a “lifelong democrat” and “didn’t have a problem” with socialism, so… anyone’s guess! /s

          It’s tough for the Democrats, to be just progressive enough as to not piss off too many red/purple states.

      The SC sure as fuck wouldn’t have given him the power to legally assassinate fascists trying to overthrow democracy on the expectation he wouldn’t use it.
