    Don’t get me wrong y’all, I love Bernie, but I think he’s just too old. We need to transition to the newer generation.

      I thought “he looks like he’s about to die” 15 years ago. As far as I can tell, he hasn’t changed, so I can’t in good conscience look at Donald Trump and the McConnell meat puppet and tell Bernie he’s not good enough.

        I agree on the authenticity part. I don’t think it should just be someone younger just because they are younger. They should also be progressive, authentic, and willing to put in the work. But I do think it’s important to engage younger voters as well. Also in terms of long term strategy and collaboration, how much of a set back could Bernie passing away do?
