    I don’t understand this “we need old people out of politics” while demanding Bernie Sanders. It’s hypocrisy to just want YOUR old guy in power. I like his ideas but they need to come from someone younger does he not have a protoge or something? There’s just something about Sanders that will turn off more people than gain I think. And if you can’t gain the support of even the Democratic party you can’t possibly win.

      Age was never a factor to me.

      Bernie is, for America, VERY left of status quo democrats. I’d like to see that, even for four years.

        But that movement can’t even win a nomination let alone the presidency. You guys can’t win without allies and you’ve alienated them all this election. The far left Bernie Bros went full bigot and racist election
