      No one is asking for Bernie as president anymore-- he’s clearly too old. But we like his speeches and party leadership.

      I agree with him, but that doesn’t mean I think he should be president. While I really like the idea of him as president in theory, I do feel that he is too old and that there are too many risks associated with that. We should have age limits regardless of who’s running. But I think he’d make a great advisor to a president regardless—that way if he takes a turn for the worse it doesn’t put the country in any sort of jeopardy.

      He is the singular exception to all of our complaints about age, although we do still complain about his age. He gets a pass because he’s been doing the work for decades.

        Translation: ‘Yes, but this doesn’t count because fuck you.’

        Use aoc as an example, pass the torch, stop counting on ancient fossils to save you, that’s the republican platform.

      It’s arguing in bad faith

      They don’t have a legitimate reason for their candidate over a different one so they just repeat fox news talking points
