    I don’t know that that’s a problem entirely separate from Bernie. Successors don’t just spring from the ether, existing leaders need to help them get there. But while I can think of multiple politicians Elizabeth Warren has mentored and promoted, I don’t know who Bernie has tried to groom.

    A few, like AOC, have been inspired by him, but it doesn’t seem like he’s doing anything to try to prepare a successor. He’s just going to be out there doing his thing until he dies, then who knows who replaces him in Vermont or replaces him ideologically on the left.

      That may be part of the reason he is doing this is to inspire younger generations and find a successor? Just a theory, but I do find it strange he hasn’t done this already.
