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

Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!
Rules:
- Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.
Links must be to the original source, not an aggregator like Google Amp, MSN, or Yahoo.
Example:
- Articles must be relevant to politics. Links must be to quality and original content. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and rehosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.
- Be civil, No violations of TOS. It’s OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It’s NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
- No memes, trolling, or low-effort comments. Reposts, misinformation, off-topic, trolling, or offensive. Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
- Vote based on comment quality, not agreement. This community aims to foster discussion; please reward people for putting effort into articulating their viewpoint, even if you disagree with it.
- No hate speech, slurs, celebrating death, advocating violence, or abusive language. This will result in a ban. Usernames containing racist, or inappropriate slurs will be banned without warning
We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.
All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.
That's all the rules!

Bernie is a fucking hero.
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.
The president that never was.
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.
