Oh, I thought the age restriction was only for president? That sucks.

When the Constitution was written the Vice President was the first runner-up in the election, so therefore they had to be eligible to be President to run in the first place. When they changed that with the 12th Amendment they specified the Vice President has to be eligible to be President.

He seems very healthy and he's been in high level politics forever so I don't really buy the argument that he's going to wither away from the stress of the presidency. Dude is sinking free throws and running around the subway better than most people in their 40s.

My main concern is that he'd be eighty fuckin' seven by the time his second term is up. My grandfather's in his eighties, hasn't had many major health problems, still goes skiing and does a lot of his own lawn work and home maintenance, and I fully expect him to be around for his 90th birthday, but I can still see how he's slowed down tremendously from even ten years ago. 2021-2029 is going to be an immensely challenging time for our country that's going to require bold and active leadership, and I just don't know if Bernie's going to be physically or mentally capable of handling those challenges during the last half of that stretch.

I will say that in the grand scheme of things his age is less important than other factors, particularly his policies or his ability to get policies enacted, but it's still a big factor I just can't shake. Especially when there's far less daylight policy-wise between Sanders and the other challengers than there was between Sanders and Clinton.

as the world turns
NYT basically has a long story further confirming Trump's obstruction of justice in trying to rein in SDNY, plus former AG Whitaker perjuring himself in front of Congress.

https://twitter.com/NickRiccardi/status/1097922034850353154?s=19

Whitaker told Congress that Trump never interfered in anything, which sure seems to be a pre-planned lie.

The main downside of running an old candidate, in theory, is that people might vote for the younger one instead. I don't know if that's going to be a problem running against Trump, who's barely younger and visibly less healthy.

Ugh there a chud rally going on in Ottawa today asking for more oil pipelines and to leave the UN or something?

Albertan oil isn't even worth refining with cheap oil prices so more oil supply is bad for Alberta anyways but this isn't about oil. It's about immigration, taxes, etc like all reactionary movements

Warren being a republican until 1996 is mind boggling and makes me think a lot less of her, Bernie is a million years old and won't be able to get anything done with the dem establishment hating him, and all the rest of the Dems don't seem to believe in anything, or worse. Such are the wages of the party culling anyone left of center for two generations - when the voters move left, they don't have much to hold on to. No one with Bernie's views could have survived the party.

A lot, and I mean a lot, of gen-x and baby boomer democrats were republicans prior to George W. Bush. A good number of them voted for Clinton and began to migrate over, but the democratic party of the 00s through present is chock full of people who were republicans prior. The PPACA is almost a lift of Bob Dole's 1996 healthcare plan and was almost identical to Romney's healthcare plan as governor.

Generally speaking, the Democratic Party is not liberal when compared to the rest of the world. It's been good to finally drag it to the left, but they've been "republican-lite" for most of my adult life.


e: I grew up in rural rear end west texas and believed a lot of republican talking points (because it's the only ones I heard) up until I actually got to grow up and experience the world.

Hell yeah hopefully other industries are taking notice.

The democratic party sucks but at this point I'd be pretty happy with FEMA death camps forcing people to be vaccinated and eat organic food so I might not have the most balanced view. The fact that Donald Trump is president means I'll happily adopt any policy that means his presidency ends sooner rather than later.

Yeah, the payload trajectories are calculated by 19 year olds who went to a year of tech/hazing school. Yeah that team of 19 year olds is led by a chud who graduated Eastern Missouri Baptist with a 3.5 gpa in basket weaving. Yeah our trajectories have been "consistently" "wrong" leading to "total module failure." But guess what buddy, if you don't like the space force, you hate our troops just as much as the guys who kneel at the anthem.
