Bernie is too friggin old, period.

If you’re talking about his “ideas” being old, then explain why one of his main support groups is the 18 to 35 bracket. The average age of supporters at his rallies is obviously younger than almost any other contender. He offers them hope of regaining the American dream.

His Medicare for all would be a disaster, far worse than the perception the ACA had. America must have choices and we cannot shove one option down the throats of its citizens. Besides. how in the hell do we pay for that pie in the sky dream? Raise taxes? Oh, that would go over well with the redneck MAGAts

Medicare for all “increases” choices of providers from the “network” model the insurance companies force on people. It is also considerably less expensive ($10 Trillion less over 10yrs according to a “KOCH BROS” study) so you’re wrong on choice and expense. Remember that while it may increase taxation it eliminates all premiums and out of pocket expense for “everyone”. The MAGA Trump supporters aren’t voting for “any” Dem, so that is a failed argument as well.

The idea that Dems need to run only centrists to attract crossover Republicans is bunk that only benefits the neoliberal establishment Democrats, not the people. Bernie has far more support from independent voters than could possibly result from running a Republican light again. Didn’t you learn anything from 2016? We tried that and it gave us Trump.
