      Generally because he says the opposite of both the Republicans and the Democrats. And he’s usually right. Bernie provides a glimpse of what we could have if we had an actual progressive party instead of an economically conservative party and a fascist party.

      Every time people fixate on age limits i think of how Bernie spent the last decade running circles around everyone in Congress on actual sensible good policies for Americans.

        Can I get an AMEN? He’s a prime example of someone I think about when I hear a prejudice it is politically correct to hold - in fact, it’s even fashionable to constantly espouse it - and that is ageism.

        Its not necessarily the age that matters but it can. Accountability matters far more than age restrictions.
