In an interview with NBC News' "Meet the Press," Sen. Bernie Sanders said Vice President Kamala Harris' changing views are part of "doing what she thinks is right in order to win the election."
Why do people on here insist we stop listening to and electing 80 year olds into office, but that view seems to vanish when it comes to Bernie? Seems so hypocritical.
Bernie has been pretty consistently progressive throughout his whole career, unlike almost any other politician. He stayed true to his convictions, and his opinions were so progressive for his time that he was ostracized for them. So his opinions are still held in high regard amongst the younger generations who are more progressive than their parents.
Also, I haven’t heard anybody say that we shouldn’t listen to older people, just that they shouldn’t be running for President. Almost everybody would agree that he is too old to be running for the Presidency now, even most of his supporters, and probably Bernie, himself.
Because the old guys did some messed up shit in the past. Also they barely care for the future and are disconnected from the young.
Bernie has consistently stood on the side of civil rights and good over the course of his life. If I perceive him correctly he also still interacts favorably with young political movements ans opinions.

I want all these old fucks out, including him.

I mean the whole 1972 rape fantasy essay he wrote was potentially progressive at the the time but feels quite tone-deaf and ham fisted nowadays…
