      every time I’ve seen anyone on Lemmy mention Sanders, it’s always “someone like” or “if only he were a few decades younger” or “, but he’s too old.”

      Hey, at least Sanders actually seems to be coherent, despite being the oldest of the three, and when he ran in the primaries he had AOC as his VP. It’s true that it should have been the other way around, though, in a sort of young leader with experienced advisor kinda situation.

        Honestly there ought to be a mandatory health exam and you must pass because you pose a huge risk if you have declining mental or physical health. This would’ve disqualified both biden and trump

          Maybe, yea, but again that’s a sketchy way to restrict someone. The health exam for both of them should have been done by the citizens of the US in the sense that they were/are both very clearly not full present. People voted for Biden reluctantly and people voted for Trump with fervor and it was ridiculous that either of them were on the ballot but even dumber that they got so many votes.

          Trump is completely out to lunch at this point and a medical exam wouldn’t stop anything. Hell, dude got 34 felonies and zero punishment because it would “get in the way” of him running for president. The US doesn’t need dangerous restrictions, it needs a handful of functioning braincells.

      I mean, if you’re gonna look at it like that, since Bernie is jewish, I hardly think of him as white.
