Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!
Rules:
- Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.
Links must be to the original source, not an aggregator like Google Amp, MSN, or Yahoo.
Example:
- Articles must be relevant to politics. Links must be to quality and original content. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and rehosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.
- Be civil, No violations of TOS. It’s OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It’s NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
- No memes, trolling, or low-effort comments. Reposts, misinformation, off-topic, trolling, or offensive. Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
- Vote based on comment quality, not agreement. This community aims to foster discussion; please reward people for putting effort into articulating their viewpoint, even if you disagree with it.
- No hate speech, slurs, celebrating death, advocating violence, or abusive language. This will result in a ban. Usernames containing racist, or inappropriate slurs will be banned without warning
We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.
All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.
That's all the rules!

He will be 82! Have you talked to any 80 year olds recently?
Bernie still seems as sharp as ever.
Have you spoken to him personally or just the stuff you see on your feed and the "news"? I was one of the biggest Bernie bros out there but dude there comes a time when you wouldn't let someone drive you in a car yet you feel fine about them leading the country?
Who said anything about another presidential run? I'm just saying that he's still sharp. That doesn't mean he'll stay that way for 8 more years. I'm still very glad to have him in the Senate for the next 6.
I have not seen him personally, but he is still doing a lot of media appearance and speaking from the floor.
I had the same heart *event Bernie had and, yeah, I could stand at a podium and talk for an hour, but stuggle with walking more than to the mailbox and back.
Mentally, Bernie is as sharp as ever. Physically? He's an 83 year old with a heart condition...
* I use the word "event" because it sounds more festive.
OK, but my original comment was just that he was still sharp. I also think you are extrapolating a bit much from your own limited experience, but I'm not looking for Bernie to run a marathon either.
Hey man tv is different than real fucking life just fyi.
Then nothing we think happens actually happens unless we are physically there to see it? What a keen observation!
Your a fucking dumbass if you think the things you see on TV and social media aren't being manipulated. Hollywood would lead you to believe Tom Cruise is a bad ass and Keanu reeves is an unkillable God. Your president is a reality show star. But no your immune to propaganda and can see threw the screen and into the truth 🤡
What the fuck are you doing on a politics board, if you don't think it's possible to know anything about politicians because it's all "manipulated"?
Bernie speaking for an hour on the floor of the Senate being broadcast on CSPAN isn't the same as Keanu Reeves winning a gunfight against 50 mobsters. His unedited sit down discussions with AOC and others are not the same as Tom Cruise surfing behind an F-16. It's pretty clear that the gears in his head are still turning, just like it's clear that Biden's aren't. Or maybe Biden is fine and that was all a manipulation. LOL
