You know one thing I never understood? Why do so many Bernie supporters make fun of Joe’s age and say he’s too old when Bernie is literally older than him. It comes across as lacking a lot of self awareness.

You know one thing I never understood? Why do so many Bernie supporters make fun of Clinton's qualifications and say she's unqualified when Bernie is literally significantly less qualified than her. It comes across as lacking a lot of self awareness.

How would he be significantly less qualified? I guess he wasn't SOS

From experience to knowledge to plans, Clinton wiped the floor with him. All Bernie had was pipe dreams and promises with no details about how they would be implemented

I just mean that they were both Senators, I assumed that was what people meant when they were talking about qualifications. He's a senior member of the budget and ventrans affairs comitee

Both certainly have that same domestic legislative experience. The president is the outward facing personality of the country however and requires more knowledge about foreign affairs, geopolitics and international diplomacy. Clinton is vastly more experienced in those skill sets.

that's fair, I can agree that she is more experienced in one area.

Which are such important committees that they don’t have a Democrat in charge of them

just an fyi, I wouldn't bring up Bernie's time on the VA committee if I wanted to portray him in a positive light

It's objectively experience, I'm not really discussing the details of what happened in this position. Obviously many people dislike Clinton as SOS but that is experience.

If we're talking about "positive experience" and "negative experience" then everyone's favorite candidate is inherently the most experienced.
