But of course the DNC will choose a moderate instead.

I love Bernie with all my heart. But he is too old. We need a next-generation Bernie Sanders, not quite as publicly grating as AOC, but I'd really love to see her elected in 8 years. Maybe Pete Buttigieg? Who did Bernie groom to succeed him?

I suspect Bernie would also say he's too old, he hasn't made another campaign run after all.

I also suspect he's not much for grooming people to follow in his footsteps.

How is mayo Pete in the same league as Bernie or AOC?

[–] Enkrod 1 points 4 months ago (1 children)

He's not, as sad as it is, that's why he'll have an easier time getting elected. I'd want a democratic socialist or social democrat in the White House, but let's not fool ourselves... the overton window isn't there yet.

gotcha but even wrt charisma .. i feel like mayo Petes only useful quality is hes white and straight passing to the point of rizzlessness.
