Yes...Ha ha ha...YES!




if bernie is still healthy and sharp in 2020 and chooses a much younger vp with similar ideology to assuage any concerns about his age, i believe he could win. he would surely only be a one term but i think he is the best shot they have.

Old Bernie propped up on the shoulders of Not Old Tulsi Gabbard, riding a gnarly wave of progressive policy.

Identity politics is about manufacturing outrage to get confused progressives on the sides of neoliberals. Toilet signage is not a civil rights issue and to claim it is undermines true progressive ideology

Bernie Sanders -- the man, the legend
Elizabeth Warren -- progressive champion senator from Massachusetts, probably won't run because she's the next Harry Reid
Cory Booker -- slick young neoliberal senator from New Jersey, mixed-race black/white, popular name among Clintonites
Tulsi Gabbard -- congresswoman from Hawaii, half Samoan, Sanderista, quit job as DNC vice chair to back Sanders. Veteran. Practicing Hindu; does not love Muslims
Martin O'Malley -- that creepy guy from the 2016 primaries who seemed like a serial killer during the debates and could have been best described as "also present", was governor of Maryland to mixed reviews
Tammy Duckworth -- brand-new senator from Illinois; just got a promotion from Congresswoman. Half Thai. Veteran; lost 1.5 legs when her black hawk was hit with an RPG. Less clearly Sanders-ist than Warren or Gabbard, but can spend the next four years building up her progressive cred and should do so if she wants to stay on this list.

Thanks!

It's also a plus that Trump is also old AF so it's not like there's a huge contrast. A 73-year old, probably even more obese Trump can't really make a credible health argument against ancient Bernie.

So if outsider and populist are now in vogue, here's an unorthodox pick that could win back those working class whites that went for Trump and appeal to progressives. He'll be 71 in 2020.

Running the president of a union is a good idea, but tbh I'm very unenthused about Trumka in particular and most large union leadership in general because they were among the first to go for Hillary against Bernie when absolutely everyone knew Bernie actually cared about working people and Hillary cared about workers in the abstract, but in the moment just wanted their money.

Trumka could work for a strategy where Dems rely on GOP voters thinking their ballot is a misprint.

I unironically think Al Franken might be a good choice, given that he's genuinely engaging and funny, has pretty good stances on most things and can be improved if he picks up more of Bernie's platform, knows the issues the rust belt faces and won't ignore them, and can basically just be the anti-Trump. He's spent his whole time in DC thus far doing the opposite of what most politicians do: keeping his head down and genuinely trying to work.

She's being tortured by the government for being a whistleblower. Even though you don't care about trans people you should at least care about the precedent her treatment sets.
