Being a President requires quick yet effective thinking. I most certainly don't believe Donald Trump provides that and I don't believe Bernie Sanders would either.

You don't believe any white men would. You've already stated that quite clearly.

Tbh the women you want to run doesn't fill me with much hope and would lose to Donald

Well ignoring the obvious sarcasm, you're really disrespectful to a qualified man running for the office

I have watched interviews of Kamala actually and no it's not because she is a woman but she is incredibly articulate and if you want Trump to win the next election by all means support Bernie Sanders.

No, of course there are many more reasons, but she is someone who can inspire and if I was in the US and could vote I would vote for her. You need someone who can attract a voter base by inspiring them for something better and Bernie had his time and failed and he is just going to let Trump win again.

I do also feel he is too old but at the same time at this point I'm convinced he is the best for business

[Twosugars]

Bernie is good for making hay and raising issues in the primaries, but not as a realistic candidate. Whoever wins tho should get him to serve in the cabinet.

Meh, Gillibrand/Harris/Warren 2020

Basically if you think the divide in America is bad now, then by allowing a socialist to run for President the divide is just going to get worse. You need someone who can bring people together not de facto American Jeremy Corbyn.

Bernie has good views, also his views appeal for most youth in US

Bernie is an inspiration!

I hate identity politics, who cares what gender, colour, background or sexuality, just pick the best person for the job.

Tea.

People who want a certain type have no business in politics

Bernie is not the person to win a presidential election

Except it is, he is discounting someone, not on their credentials but on the fact that they are white, male and old.

It's a ridiculous thing to count someone out, not because of their beliefs but because of their attributes. If Underscore knew what he was talking about, he'd realise that Bernie's stances and views would likely match up to his own. Bernie became a favourite of younger voters for a reason but Underscore seemingly refuses to acknowledge that because of Bernie's race, age and gender.

It's pretty damn clear cut and indicative of why I consider myself more centre than left leaning these days. Both the right and left are becoming extreme reflections of each other.
