    Even at 89 he’ll probably still be running circles around these absolute clowns. But that man has earned some time off from this shitfest and i wish him all the very best.

    Bernie will always be the image of what a true American patriot looks like in my mind.

    About time. He should have retired a couple cycles ago, but I think he’s like a lot of the geriatric politicians who don’t seem to have any other interests in life. I like Bernie. I love his political stances. I voted for him and actually donated to his campaign back when I was still working. His voice is important, but it just seems more and more that his is just one of the few rational voices screaming into the hurricane of oligarchical support and willful, ugly ignorance coming out of DC.

      I will say he is still real sharp. Hes coherent and concise. You can tell trump and biden have had some real decline, slowing way down or just speaking nonsense, but Bernie is still a great speaker.

    I’m impressed he made it this long. Hopefully he has someone in mind he would like to endorse to replace him.
