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 don’t mind him running, per se. What I mind is Democratic candidates turning against each other and doing each other damage. We need to stick together when it counts and have the party solidarity that it takes to win the election. Once we do that, then we can deal with internal differences. So, me personally? I’m not a big Bernie fan; probably would not vote for him in the primary. But if he did get the nomination, I would vote for him in the general election.

@SmartKat I would have a similar attitude.

I'd vote for any left candidate in the Primary but any Democrat in the general.

Chang and Gabbard are long shots so that means Warren and Sanders are the only two on the left who could win. I think Bernie has more chance than Liz as things stand but I think a lot of Bernie voters would switch to Warren if her campaign did look stronger.

I don't really like Biden or Harris but I think any other human being alive is better than Trump and I've got no time for left abstainers.
