But of course the DNC will choose a moderate instead.

    I love Bernie with all my heart. But he is too old. We need a next-generation Bernie Sanders, not quite as publicly grating as AOC, but I’d really love to see her elected in 8 years. Maybe Pete Buttigieg? Who did Bernie groom to succeed him?

      I suspect Bernie would also say he’s too old, he hasn’t made another campaign run after all.

      I also suspect he’s not much for grooming people to follow in his footsteps.

        He’s not, as sad as it is, that’s why he’ll have an easier time getting elected. I’d want a democratic socialist or social democrat in the White House, but let’s not fool ourselves… the overton window isn’t there yet.
