You're not wrong. I'm going to keep holding out hope for Warren until it's actually time for me to make a decision, but I feel like the conversation tonight has actually convinced me that Bernie is probably the best choice if she's not viable

Same. I’ve always said I will vote for whichever of the two of them has the clearest path to the nomination when the IL election rolls around and that’s still@my position. But none of the other candidates are on the table for me personally.

The reason Biden is still on my list is because he lacks the strong Internet harasser base and also because his whole "let's just continue the Obama status quo" is a better outcome for me personally than an economic-left victory that leaves trans ppl behind

He will not continue the Obama status quo is the thing. He keeps praising Republicans and talking about how we need more good ones and the “fever will break” and he’ll succeed in working with them where Obama failed. He’s a regression from Obama not a continuation.

Yeah, I'd trust him further than Pete or Bloomberg, but Biden really seems intent on bringing back the most naive aspects of the Obama administration. I personally wouldn't trust him to be ABLE to deliver on what he promises, even when he doesn't intentionally compromise

At what point can we also bring up that Biden seems to be personally losing his mind

Can we bring up the fact that if Biden or Sanders were to be elected they would immediately be the oldest President in US history

Hasn't this unfortunately been the trend? Like wasn't Trump also that?

Trump was the oldest President *when elected* (edging out Reagan by a few months, who was also elected at the age of 70) Biden and Sanders would both be *older than Reagan when he left office at the time of their inauguration* (he was 78, they will be 79)

Elizabeth Warren would be following the trend (she will be 71 in Jan 2021) Sanders and Biden are leapfrogging it If you expect Sanders to serve out two terms that means he's leaving office when he's *87 years old*, several years longer than most people live

To put this in perspective, back in 08 people were muttering direly about how old McCain was, saying a President unlike a Senator requires the capacity to react in crisis, pointing out Sarah Palin would be a heartbeat away from the White House And he was only 74

The people who said it was Hillary Clinton's "turn" in 08 said Obama should've waited because he was younger and could afford to, but if Hillary didn't win in 08 she'd be too old to run next time around She was 61 in 2008, and 68 in 2016 (when she ran against two older men)

I guess that's the thing A Sanders-Warren ticket or a Biden-Warren ticket wouldn't be so bad because it would still mean a pretty high chance of a Warren presidency, actuarially speaking
