At 83 years old, Sanders is not running for president again. But the stooped and silver-haired democratic socialist has emerged as a leader of the resistance to Donald Trump’s second presidency. In tearing into Trump’s seizure of power and warning about the consequences of firing tens of thousands of government workers, Sanders is bucking the wishes of those who want Democrats to focus on the price of eggs or “roll over and play dead.”

Where the fuck is AOC on that list of possible 2028 nominees, you shitbags? She's not perfect but she is THE BEST candidate right now (in my opinion).

I really hope Bernie pushes for her. I don't want another geriatric president and it's not like the Democrats would give him a chance anyway. But AOC is a Democrat for some reason

Two of my best friends are a gay couple. They tend to fall in the territory of third way through enlightened centrists, and they hate AOC and I can never pin down why. The Tlaib dislike is strong too, yet they like Sanders. I'm not sure why the squad members get flack that Sanders doesn't. Most other people outside of the new/politics subs I never hear mention AOC or the other further left folk. Mainstream Dem suppression of the further left seems much more effective than that against the Republicans. 😒
