    The hypocrisy I see as an outsider. American left demanding old white men get out of politics, yet wanting Bernie, an old white man. Why is it that only YOUR dinosaur should rule?

        Same, but he can’t win. So really what’s the point? He can’t even run the Democratic nomination let alone the entire country. He’s got great ideas but I think for the length of his career he can be pretty ineffectual. He needed a protoge to prepare for the next generation but never did
