Should Bernie Sanders run for President in 2020

Do you think Bernie Sanders is too old.

The experiment has been run, the results are in and Socialism doesn't work.

@fazer1k That must have been directed at someone I have blocked cos I can't see who you tagged.
HoraceGreenley · 56-60, M
@BlueMetalChick I have heard that from many people.

@BlueMetalChick I just messaged you the post so you can see.
Yes. I find it odd that the Democrats couldn't find any suitable candidates other than a couple of old white people ( the scourge of the GOP). Also, Bernie has connections to Wall Street. Doesn't look good for his "socialist " reputation.

@FITMIKE70 Geographically, my home country is gorgeous. The society is more fucked up than anywhere on Earth though. Yemen is currently in the middle of a civil war and a genocide.
Lots of places I'd love to see in that region. I'm just worried I'd be kidnapped or killed. Shame, but, that's how it is.
Well, it's bedtime for me. Good talking with you. I'm sure we agree more than we disagree on things. Catch you later on here.

Living in a socialist country I can say that socialism sucks swamp water. Everything is free except everything is expensive and there is no freedom. The poorest parts of the nation are simply becoming poorer because they most support socialism. It is a sad but true maxim that socialism begets poverty.

@fazer1k Yeah, I do lots of improv as well.

Here, these are some of my works.

@BlueMetalChick You are very good! You must be popular in clubs, or wherever you play. Elandra comes to town has a great feel for me - I'm playing that one again.

@fazer1k That's the only one I recorded digitally.

The old fool can run but he'll never win

@FITMIKE70 The Second World War marks a significant change in Finnish history and there hasn't been any armed conflict there since. They had a rocky time with Sweden, the two ethnic groups used to hate each other for a long time to the point were Finns living in Sweden were oppressed badly, and Swedes living in Finland were as well. I'm not sure how Finland would react were there a threat of invasion or war of some kind but my guess would be some sort of temporary wartime reallocation of resources.

Now, it isn't all perfect of course. Finland has the highest suicide rate of any country in the world, which sounds pretty random but it is relevant. Similar to Japan, the work ethic is very high, and it drives some people batty. Although there's actually fewer suicides in Finland than there are in Japan just as a raw number. But the population of the former is lower than that of the latter, and they measure in per 1,000 people, which is why it has a higher percentage. Japan has an obsession with personal honor and violation of that honor usually means someone wants to kill their self (cue Logan Paul).
Finland would be in trouble if they were invaded today. That being said, they have to play it neutral. They're not a military power nor do they have anything like gold,oil,platinum that others want. Yet.

@FITMIKE70 And that's fine. They're under the threat of invasion, they maintain a neutral stance, and that has given them the ability to spend most of their money domestically.

@TheeOriginalEXLover Then you obviously don't get why I'm commenting at you. I'm not trying to tell you that my way is best. What I'm trying to do is correct a lot of hypocrisies and falsehoods that you posted. For example, saying that "conservative thought beats liberal nonsense in America." Which is factually incorrect in more than one way.

@TheeOriginalEXLover [quote]Democrats stayed home after oBUMBER presidency, bc liberalism let down his voters[/quote]
Since when the hell was Obama a liberal? Now you're just making shit up.

[quote]he lied to them in the primaries also.[/quote]
Correct. And? Did Trump not do that as well? They're both shitheads for lying.

[quote]They stayed home and republicans voted for TRUMP in droves.[/quote]
Lol is that why three million more people voted for his opponent?

[quote]You are one hundred percent incorrect.[/quote]
If I'm so incorrect then why can't you disprove anything I've said? I posted paragraphs worth of reasons why I'm right, and your response is "shut the fuck up stop replying to me you're not a real adult."

[quote]I have taken heavily in-depth political classes in college and my professors we're evidently WRONG.[/quote]
But you just told me you were a soldier, not a college student. So...which one is the lie?
BlueMetalChick · 26-30, F
I like Sanders a lot, but I don't know how good his health is.
Mariocrespo8546 · 31-35, M
@BlueMetalChick I like Bernie Sanders as well. I hope he runs
BlueMetalChick · 26-30, F
@Mariocrespo8546 I strongly disagree with him on BDS but I'm a huge supporter of his refusal to accept corporate or PAC campaign contributions. That's an enormous win if you ask me.

Try to pick someone under 60, some new ideas would be good.
He reminds me of Ross Perot. Great on hypothetical solutions, just too much of an egomaniac to deliver.

@TheeOriginalEXLover I know, despite how much I like his politics, I have to say he's not a very impressive looking person. An ancient possibly atheist Jew with bad posture and a Jersey accent who never combs his hair.

But it's a testament to his political abilities that in spite of looking like a crazy person, he still has the highest approval ratings of any US congressperson currently in office.

Dude, even Trump's own pollsters said Sanders would have won. Come on, Trump is the most beatable candidate ever. Clinton is possibly the only person in America who could have lost to a buffoon like him. Sanders has twice the ratings Trump does, and when his policies are polled among the populace, every study you can cite will tell you that they're overwhelmingly supported. How could he have NOT won against Trump?

Think a little before you say something and make yourself look dumb.

Bernie Sanders shouldn't be running at all, his pacemaker might burn out, ...
He will have to get by another populist, Joe Biden. It will be easy to beat Pence anyways.
MarineBob · 56-60, M
Damn the Democratics is really grasping.
BlueMetalChick · 26-30, F
@MarineBob Running the candidate who has the highest approval ratings of any member of the US Congress is "grasping?"
eli1601 · 70-79, M
Yes. He's very entertaining.
Mariocrespo8546 · 31-35, M
@eli1601 I agree 👍

Not crazy Bernie again...

@HoraceGreenley Trump will demolish this fool
SW-User
Yes, imo he's too old.
QuixoticSoul · 41-45, M
He is simply too old.
