By far the best candidate in terms of policy and ability to beat Trump.

I have a feeling the DNC is going to push the message that he is too old to run for president.

God even I couldn't do a single 10 minute take like that, he's got speaking chops that's for sure
No bet. Bunch of cunts.
He isn't that much older than Hilary Clinton
Or the incumbent.
Really hope he wins the primary tbh. I think he can beat Trump on the sheer fact that he doesn't have the baggage that came with Clinton. Trump can't easily play on the conspiracy theories that he did with Clinton because Bernie doesn't have those conspiracy theories dating back 30 years. That, and he's just so obviously smarter than Trump. They both appeals to the same essential spirit in voters but Bernie is just obviously smarter than Trump
Watch as Trump spins up the jew conspiracies.
this idiot will die within 5 years
Hearing Sanders speak gets me emotional. The biggest allure of President Trump was his authenticity in presentation. People feel like who they see is who they get, which they don't feel with many other politicians. We always think they've got something else that they're hiding behind a wall. Most probably are. But there are a few out there who play the game of politics while maintaining the appearance (real or imagined) of a genuine nature. Ocasio Cortez is a new one. Whatever her command of policy, of facts, etc., is less relevant than her sheer charisma. And the same is true for Sanders.
Whatever Sanders's command of policy is, it typically doesn't show through his speeches. They're far more aspirational than nuts and bolts. But the thing is that, irrespective of whatever mechanism is used to actually achieve his policy goals, one thing is undeniable: he has dramatically increased the political will for passing such legislation, which is hugely important. Especially considering some of his proposals have the possibility of significant drawbacks (eg the induced recession that will likely result from a nationalization of insurance). But I'm confident that even those drawbacks can be combated.
It's just... having someone who believes in and cares about the US and the American people above themselves in the Oval Office. It sounds so novel today, which is embarrassing. But there's only one - one - person who I've ever felt didn't just want the office for power. One person who wasn't just an A type personality trying to be the best. Not just trying to climb the ladder, but truly believes in the policies he fights for and dedicates his life to. And that's Sanders.

Already donated. Not me, us.
Hope he does it. Following the previous presidential campaign, his policies resonated the most with me, from a European perspective. He actually felt like a real motivator for change compared to the carbon-copies that the Dems and GOP were putting out.
lmfao I didn't even realize "not me, us" is his slogan
literally exactly why I love him as explained above
Just hearing him speak makes me all the sadder with what we have in office ATM.

Thinking about where we would be now is difficult because we've derailed the train so fucking hard that we've somehow landed on another unknown track. What would America have by now? Medicare? Free Tuition? Environmental Standards? Would the disasters that happened along the way have turned out differently?
It's truly a loss for the world that we got an orange manchild instead of bernie.
Too bad they will pick whoever they want again and deliberately sabotage themselves, the only question is if they will fuck up and pick somebody nobody wants twice in a row.
I can see this ending up with a clear focus on Warren v Sanders, and if that's indeed the case I hope neither resort to the pettiness we saw from Hillary Clinton last time.
idk, they made it easier for primary candidates to qualify. Though that's just one step it could indicate that they've learned from 2016 in some way.
I think it's pretty clear this is who the DNC should nominate. Hopefully the reduced (excuse me if i've just made this up out of nowhere ) impact of the superdelegates will actually give him a fighting chance this time. The DNC have their opportunity to get back in the game on a silver platter, just don't fuck it up. Bingo Sandbelt 2020.
Fuck yes
<3
my boy. I have great faith in Bernie in this campaign. He can definitely do this.
Watching his 10-minute video makes me tear up thinking of what we could have had and what we... got.

Bernie is still my #1, but if it comes down to Warren v Sanders then I'd consider that a win either way.
The thing I'm worried about, though, is that the DNC must perceive Sanders to be a threat. Last time they didn't take him seriously until he started to really challenge Clinton, but this time I expect them to pull out all the stops trying to discredit him. They'd rather it ends up being Warren vs Gillibrand or Warren vs Harris.
