Bernie Sanders 2024

[CunningCanuk]

The great irony is that they took another look at the 2000 vote 5 different ways. In all five, Gore won.

He conceded too early.

We could have spared ourselves some military and economic heartbreak.

Imagine how much better things would be today had Gore been president after the 9/11 attacks.

Bernie destroyed any chance of becoming president the day he labelled himself a socialist.

A democratic socialist, to be fair. But we haven’t had even a proper social democrat (there’s a distinction) since Roosevelt. Johnson had the albatross of a disastrous Vietnam policy, and Carter never really went wheels-up.

no Homeland Security

Bernie Sanders has zero chance of becoming President. The best thing he could do for the Democratic party is go away. The best thing the Democratic party can do is distance themselves from him.

The word “socialist” in any combination alienates about 30% of the electorate.

I remember how much the world was behind the U.S. after the attacks. I believe Gore would have used that goodwill for the better.

To Independent voters in the United States it's equivalent to "trump".

yeah, I know. Branding matters. 30% of the electorate also says let’s go branding!

you mean diametrically opposed, maybe?

Exactly.

I pray to God that the Dems can come up with better candidates for 2024 than some washed up old senile career politicians.

Georgia is now PURPLE..we're doing a good job with the brain power we have- old and young.

I'm kind of tired of hearing how done you are, based on age.

While not my choice, Biden saved us with his 'Dad' stories.

They won't vote for Sanders just like they wouldn't vote for trump.

we've already had de facto two female presidents..name them.

 

[cannabineer]

They won't vote for Sanders just like they wouldn't vote for trump.

Okay, but the way you put it, it implies “for the same reasons”. To that I say not hardly.

Eleanor and Nancy?

 

[CunningCanuk]

No idea. Would Nancy Reagan be one?

 

[CunningCanuk]

Eleanor and Nancy?

I can’t see FDR being subservient on presidential matters.

Woodrow Wilson's wife after his stroke?

Yeah, she advised Ronnie based on her consulting with psychics and palm readers. :sigh:

He was kinda down and out the last coupla years. I think that I read Eleanor did the heavy lifting with his consent.
