Bernie Sanders is too close to retirement for anyone to believe that he's going to be the answer. (My main problem with Bernie was that he never joined our Party, but he felt entitled to scold us whenever he wanted to.) Our next leader needs to be someone in their 40s or 50s who has the right experience but also enough time to carry out their plans for the future.

It might be AOC, it might be Pete Buttigieg, or maybe somebody even younger. We need the next generation FDR who has the ideas, the vision and the leadership. There isn't time to develop a future leader out of college while they learn the ropes. We need someone who's ready NOW!
