At the ripe age of 82, one would think retirement would be on the horizon for Senator Bernie Sanders. But in true Sanders fashion, the political firebrand has announced he will be throwing his hat in the ring for the 2024 presidential election. The unexpected news has left the nation buzzing with excitement and speculation.
Known for his progressive policies and unapologetic stance on social justice issues, Sanders has been a prominent figure in American politics for decades. His fearless pursuit of change and unwavering dedication to fighting for the working class has earned him a loyal following and made him a formidable force in the political landscape.
Bernie Sanders is 82 and running for a fourth term as Senator! That's 24 years in the senate. Guess he needs a couple more waterfront villas!

The announcement came as a surprise to many, especially since Sanders had previously stated that he would not be running for president again. But in a bold move, he has once again defied expectations and declared his intention to run. With the current political climate in turmoil, Sanders believes it is his duty to step up and continue fighting for the issues he holds dear.
Critics have been quick to dismiss Sanders' chances, citing his age as a major obstacle. But the senator has never let his age slow him down before, and he shows no signs of doing so now. In fact, he has made it clear that he plans to hit the ground running and is more determined than ever to bring about real change.

Despite his advanced age, Sanders is showing no signs of slowing down. In fact, he seems more energized and passionate than ever before. With his progressive agenda and unwavering determination, he hopes to inspire a new generation of leaders and create a lasting impact on the political landscape for years to come.
Supporters of Sanders are ecstatic at the news, seeing it as a glimmer of hope in a political climate that has become increasingly divisive and polarized. Many believe that Sanders' leadership and progressive policies are exactly what the country needs to move forward and address pressing issues such as income inequality, healthcare reform, and climate change.
As the 2024 presidential election draws closer, all eyes will be on Sanders and his campaign. With his bold announcement, he has once again proven that age is just a number and that he is a force to be reckoned with.
Whether he ultimately succeeds in his bid for the White House remains to be seen, but one thing is for sure – Sanders is not backing down without a fight. And that, in itself, is a powerful statement.

Sanders SUCKS
This is misinformation, Bernie is running for reelection, not for the presidency. And he will win another term.
I trust this Bernie Sanders feller as much as I would a Cotton Mouth Moccasin.
Bernie Sanders is a prime example why we need term/age limitations for the House and Senate. At age 82, he’s a little out of touch with the people he represents and of most of the Americans at this time. What has he done for anyone, except himself, for the past 6 years? He should find a soft seated rocking chair and enjoy what’s left of his life
This seems to be a Democratic Party platform:(1) Income inequality (checkout California’s $20 minimum wage boondoggle and Sacramento’s hold on all Freedom’s of commerce and commercial enterprises). (2)Healthcare reform – added the one single disastrous intervention in an otherwise successful, century’s old Medical Formula, i.e., the DOCTOR/PATIENT relationship. Now, it’s Government, conglomerate (multinational HMO companies) and BIG PHARMA intervention with patient healthcare gone awry (totally off the rails). (3) Climate Change: (in the 60’s and 70’s was CARBON EXCHANGE COMMISSION’S and rampant (couponing) fraud and abnormal freezing, fast forward to 21st Century and it’s still CO2 and carbon (something or other) and adverse “Global Warming” without one iota of “UNFUDGED DATA.” Yep, Bernie’s gonna set fire on 2024 elections. HAH! Amen. Read A Bible. KJV. Psalm 128. 10 Commandments everywhere. God Bless. VOTE MAGA!!!
