Are you looking for another president who has to be wheeled onto the stage to repeat "and by the way" over and over for 90 minutes?

The answer is simple: Bernie can have AOC as his VP, and write a public binding contract where she can remove him from office if she deems his mental faculties to be in decline. Just because it hasn't been done before, certainly hasn't stopped the likes of Trump from doing weird things.

Our politics are Calvinball, and the Geronocrats have fundamentally failed to recognize that fact.

You were happy with "we finally beat medicare" because he was far enough to the right for you.

I don't know what you're even trying to say, but if you're advocating for a president who would be 90 years old at the end of his first term you're a fucking idiot. So with that in mind, I don't care what you're trying to say.

I'm saying that "too old" means "too far to the left" and that the party would run a fucking mummy as long as it didn't want to raise the minimum wage or implement universal healthcare.

Ötzi/Imhotep 2028!

I'm saying that 86 is too old to run for president regardless of policies.

the party would run a fucking mummy as long as it didn't want to raise the minimum wage or implement universal healthcare.

I'm not the party so idk why you're giving me shit about this. Maybe spend your time bitching at Ken Martin or David Hogg instead.
