Bernie Sanders announces 2020 presidential run

Bernie is so wonderful. God bless Bernie Sanders.

 

Oh great! I will remember not to vote. Seen one, you have seen them all.

 

Not voting is the best way to get progressive change

 

Yes mentally for sure. Physically like I said he's an old man. But simply looking at him you can see his physical states compared to Trump. One is overweight and one is not.

Even discussing this shows you fall for mainstream media. The elite want it to be "Bernie is too old to run" yet he's about the same age as Trump. Notice that is never said of him?

 

Consider this; If there's a sudden cessation of our infrastructure, say due to open nuclear warfare, who will last longer in the command bunker? The fat guy, or the skinny guy?

Really though, the nation is headed toward a recession that kicks off a decades-long depression. Right now they are fighting in Washington over who will be taking the fall for it.

 

The bunker the president is in likely has the ability to grow food via green house and YEARS of supplies. You don't need fat to live on and you probably want all your organs healthy enough to take radiation. The theory is Trump has a terrible heart due to his size and diet. Could he take a bomb or light jog?

 

79 is not old if you live to 100. But it is old enough I worry if he will be alive in 4 years. They said he was old in 2016 too. I just don't want that to be a strike against him in a country that is so dependent on the elderly politically. The baby boomers vote more often and have strong opinions on how America should be in 30 years. A time when they like Bernie are dead. You could say they have no idea what the world is now. A criticism towered Sanders too. If there is no cut off to vote there is no cut off to run for an office.

No one really talks about the legit causes for concern over Regan or Trump's mental state. Even though both of their staff said they were not all there. Some say Nancy even ran the country for a while. If Sanders is elected that will be the main right wing talking point. Anything he does will be "crazy old man Bernie". He's actuly very conservative by European standards. To the American Republican he is Stalin. He needs to be crazy to them.

 

Me too. Although I'm afraid that Sanders' novelty has Berned out, I'm stoked that the Bernie memes will make a triumphant comeback!

 

The media constantly throws out jabs against Bernie. They seem innocent enough on the surface. "He'll hold the age record." But really it's just a ploy to enter these ideas into the public awareness and stereotype him. I saw one today that asked, "Is Bernie Sanders the MySpace of 2020?" Senseless garbage.

 

Absolutely! The history of people giving up on politicians and making positive changes in society themselves is so amazing and beautiful!

 

We're talking progressive change in gubberment/ on a national level...

I agree where it comes to making progressive change in your personal life voting is a less pressing matter

 

I was talking about society in general. Government is, at best, irrelevant. But more generally, an obstacle.

Most progressive changes in society, throughout all of history, have been made by the people, not govermment.

As it stands right now, the center is actually continuously moving further to the right trying to keep up to the republicans/conservatives who have been becoming nearly as far to the right as possible.

 

A naked guy running around waiving a knife and muttering to himself “That damn squirrel” is mentally more fit than trump.

 

Thanks man.

 

In most places it was a combined effort. The government consist out of people as well, after all. And government could only be irrelevant if all citizens are on the same page, working together. Different folks, different outlooks and priorities. Therefor, some kind of government body is always needed. Unless of course, if there would be far less people and shared responsibilities
