6 months agoYou said Bernie’s too old, but not even once WHY he should not run. You’re just guessing there’s something not right about his mental well being.
Both can be true, but there are people under 62 with the same.positive characteristics of Bernie.
It’s almost like the age part is not relevant.
I’m not arguing that an average old person’s mental capabilities are deteriorating. But this is a candidate that has presented their views and that’s what you should be evaluating.
If I disagree with 2 people who’s ages I don’t know and one turns out to be Bernie and the other is a young candidate, they’re on equal footing on that one particular issue.
So let me ask you this: Do you prefer a young president you agree with 20% or an old one you agree with 50%?
