If he keeps this up, he’ll drag the entire Republican Party down with him in 2024.

    Bernie was/is too old to run for president. He was also less moderate than Biden. I’d argue Biden and Trump are too old to be president.

      Biden is pretty fucking old too. The oldest to ever be elected. He has pretty severe dementia too. I know a lot of old folks that went down that road.

        Yet he nonetheless proved to be quite capable in his role. As much as I love Bernie, I prefer the safe Biden rather than risking losing to Trump/De Sanctis.

        “Severe dementia” is far different than the old person behavior that Biden occasionally exhibits, which is like, saying the wrong word once or twice while speaking for half an hour. The “he doesn’t know what room he’s in!!1!” claims are absurd. When you listen to him talk for a while he’s perfectly coherent, though people like to cherry pick 1-2 lines out of context to try to pretend he’s doddering and incoherent.
