Is he too old? Whenever I see criticisms of lawmakers here for their age, I never see anyone mention Bernie.

I have ALWAYS voted for him. I'll vote for a primary challenger next time Scrivener7 Tuesday #5

He will back out if AOC challenges him. gab13by13 Tuesday #6

I don't think so. I don't think he believes that. I do, but I don't think he does. Scrivener7 Tuesday #7

How do you feel about Bernie Sanders? murielm99 Tuesday #15

I don't recall Sanders say that Biden was too old and should step down SocialDemocrat61 Tuesday #16

I asked how YOU felt about Bernie. murielm99 Tuesday #17

Age is a number SocialDemocrat61 Tuesday #19

Okay. murielm99 Tuesday #20

Why SMDH? SocialDemocrat61 Tuesday #21

Your post number 9 does not criticize Schumer over his age? murielm99 Tuesday #24

No SocialDemocrat61 Tuesday #25

Both Bernie Sanders and Elizabeth Warren are older than Chuck Schumer. lapucelle Tuesday #36

Irrelevant SocialDemocrat61 Tuesday #40

Where did you read that Schumer wanted Biden to drop out because of his age? Do you have a source? lapucelle Tuesday #43

Ok SocialDemocrat61 Tuesday #44

That's not a source for your claim. Your claim is that Schumer wanted Biden to step down because of his age. lapucelle Tuesday #47

You're obviously looking to pick an argument SocialDemocrat61 Tuesday #48

Schumer is a loser. He thinks it's 1989 and we're up against Bob Dole. F this guy. 617Blue Tuesday #10

A Loser? F Him? MineralMan Tuesday #22

We should criticize each other in private, Democrats fighting is never a good thing Walleye Tuesday #27

It's a national political party. There is no private. Scrivener7 Tuesday #28

Maybe you are right but these kind of divisions in the party always benefit Republicans Walleye Tuesday #29

Divisions are hopefully remedied by elections. nt mr715 Tuesday #32

I am also hoping right with you. I've seen it fall apart before though Walleye Tuesday #34
