    It was rough when Bernie had his own heart event, and I use the word “event” because it sounds more festive.

    I told my wife “Well, he’s done.” Even if he has the energy to be President, nobody will vote for someone with a heart condition.

    It’s a tough thing to recover from, even now, five years later, I don’t have the energy, focus, or acuity I had from before. :(

      I feel bad for him, really I do. And I’m sorry to hear your story as well.

      I’m just frustrated that Biden is the best we can do against Trump now, and nobody seems to care because he’s not Trump. We need to do better than this, but every time I bring up the Democrats’ shortcomings, the response I get is always “Doesn’t matter because Trump exists!” or they assume I’m a Trump supporter.

      I’m afraid that now that Trump exists, Democrats are just going to stop trying to do anything like universal healthcare. Hell, they couldn’t even be bothered to codify Roe.
