How about we appreciate the work he’s done but get some actual you get folks who aren’t boomers in charge. His time has unfortunately passed for the highest office but he can be hugely effective in an important cabinet position.
I don’t think they expected people to live this long when they wrote the constitution, and I know they didn’t consider how tribalistic the country would get. Well, Washington did, but nobody listened to him.
If she drops some of her extreme positions, calms down a bit and moves further to the center, she’ll have a real shot at the candidacy by the time she’s 75.
Cleaving to the centre has enabled Trump, because centrists can’t criticise the neoliberal system while Trump and his MAGA cult can and will.
As the facade of neoliberal policy crumbles we can all see it doesn’t work. Being able to criticise it and assert a different future (rather than a mythical past of greatness) is essential.
Yes exactly, Bernie has similar politics but doesn’t get the same hatred. There were some Bernie voters who even hopped to Trump. They care more about sexism/racism than actual politics.
I voted for him in the 2020 primary, but if were pushing Biden out because he’s too old then the same certainly applies to Bernie. Even if he’s more coherent and effective now, how will he be in four years?
Bernie?

Shutup Feinstein
lol, no you. Feinstein was too old as well. There should be an age restriction on both ends for government jobs.

I think it’s AOC, but conservatives have a disdain for her that I worry would be Hillary part 2.

You just nailed the disdain - it’s that she’s a woman. And a minority, at that. We can never win those people over.
