      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.

            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
