    Sanders is too old. God love him, but it would not inspire confidence. If we’re going for a prominent progressive on the ticket, we’d have to go AOC.

    More likely though, Harris will pick someone who is an old white moderate male, though, unfortunately.

      There’s a difference between old and senile and ordinary old. Bernie is just old

          When you’re in your 80s, decline can come about VERY quickly and without warning. It, unfortunately, is much more of a concern than it was in 2016.

      Aren’t Trump and Sanders the same age? Though, I agree, I feel that Bernie’s ship has sailed, sadly.

        Trump is 78, Sanders is 82. Realistically speaking, Trump is also at that age when decline can come very quickly, but:

        1. His cult doesn’t care

        AND

        1. Considering Trump’s ‘normal’ behavior, how would you even tell

          The decline has already come. I’ve seen some clips of Trump from 20 years ago. He was never a good person, but he used to be coherent.
