As much as I think that he was too old for the position… JFC. If the Dems don’t nominate Kamala Harris as his replacement, the entire Democratic nomination will be filled with so much infighting that they will lose the faith of their electorate and the next election.
If only more Dems were left-of-centre such that Bernie was a viable option. Unfortunately almost all of them are right-lite.
Yeah that’s totally true, but it’s too much of a risk IMO. There will be great candidates like AOC in the future (she has too little experience right now), that might be the ones fulfilling Bernie’s dream. Sadly Bernie won’t be it

Bernie Sanders is even older than Biden, he should have been the nominee in 2016 but now it’s too late for him
He’s older but FAR more mentally capable than Joe was in 2020. Aging affects everyone differently.
I think he’d be suited to the job, but not electable.

He barely aged since 2016. At least mentally and physically he runs circles around both of the other gramps. Recent interview with Colbert.
Edit: OFC it would be nevertheless delusional to nominate him instead of Harris. He can still influence future democrat policies from the background.
