Bernie is going to be 79 in 2020, Biden is going to be 78. If the Democratic field is that barren, yikes.

There are plenty of young people they could run but because this country is rapidly aging and old people vote for old people and the old people in power just want more old people like them in power both parties just tend to run geezers.

Another thing I think happens is that there really isn't a Democratic equivalent of the Koch Brothers and all those shits grooming young talent all through their lives like Paul Ryan and the various judicial ghouls.

I remember watching the 2008 democratic convention and thinking we’ve got a pretty deep bench for the future. Brian Schweitzer stood out, as did some others. It hadn’t occurred to me we’d be thinking about Biden/Hillary 10 years later.

When Dean made his quixotic run for the nomination in 2004 he was up against considerable opposition from the Clintonite DLC, who didn't want him potentially screwing up her planned run in the next election cycle. It's hard to overstate just how much of a stranglehold those two have had on the party ever since Bill won the presidency back in the 90s, really.

Kamala Harris and Cory Booker are going to get lots of attention come 2020 and sadly they're probably the best the Dems can field under age 60 Either would be preferable to Biden, who will probably gaffe something racist and and something sexist and something both in at least one debate

the tales of how inconsistently the digital voting machines work would be funny if they weren't sad. I think the general public has a perception that machine = reliable, I know I used to. Actually working with machines in manufacturing has shown me that in general machines are frustrating and unreliable piles of garbage. I'm betting the answer is no, but do they do QA process control checks on these voting machines during operation? It's insanely easy for a machine to start operating out of specification if you aren't constantly validating that it is.
