Bernie announces he is running again, what do you think?

I'm interested in what you Americans have to say about him. Do you want him to win the Democratic Primary and do you think he can? Are other candidates better? Is the age a factor?

I'm British so it's not my party to go to, though I do like what Sanders stands for and would definantely support him were I there. I think it's a shame that the rules prevent a 29-year-old from running as his VP though I hope AOC backs him and features in his campaign.

I'm a European Pirate Party fan. Candidates tend to be younger than me and from disciplines outside of politics. Somebody I find interesting, Birgitta Jónsdóttir, has been a member of the Alþing for ten years and she's just now 51. Some of these people like Smári McCarthy are in their 30's early 40's. There's a split in age demographics in the US now, and I'd like to see it just flip and be dominant. All our silver backs are generations out from this new guard. Sanders, Pelosi, Shumer, Trump, McConnell.

Sanders tho-- my big worry is that he'll fragment the left again. Fuck it all up.
