There is more to life you know? When will liberals learn.

Edit: I changed the title so that people will understand what I am getting at. It is important to realise that economic anxiety trumps other concerns, especially in the growing wealth inequality and the overt shows of oligarchic rule. As Franklin Roosevelt said: People who are hungry and out of a job are the stuff of which dictatorships are made.

    They nominated her because of her experience and name recognition as vice president.

        Attorney general of CA, senator of CA, vice president of the US. Certainly no experience at all.

                Look, I love Bernie, but he wouldn’t have done much to counter the “too old” argument.

                    I don’t think he even considers it anymore, at least that’s the vibe I have been noticing and this interview sealed it, he’d probably rather support another progressive with similar views to step in to run for President and support them, he’s not worried to have more power like most politicians, he seems a lot more down to earth and focused on the issues at hand, last chance was probably 2015

                    The question is which of the few progressive politicians will step in, I’d like it to be AOC but I doubt it will happen
