Setting aside for a moment that Bernie Sanders was kneecapped by Debbie Wasserman Schultz and the DNC in 2016, he lost that primary to Hillary Clinton, a candidate so bad she couldn’t beat Donald Trump. Sanders does, however, have a lot of experience winning senatorial elections — way too much experience in our opinion.
The Hill has posted video of Sanders telling a town hall under what circumstances he should get the hell out of politics, and that’s if he can’t win an election on his ideas. The video cuts off a little bit, but it sounds like Sanders was going on a rant about supposed voter suppression — by the DNC.
But the part The Hill posted is good enough for us.

Yep he should get out of politics. He's had decades to achieve something and he hasn't. Everyone has good ideas and many people like Bernie talk about them until the day they die without ever knowing how to make an idea a reality. See ya Bernie.

He is actually right for once. He should get the hell out of politics

Nobody would hire Bernie. The man has no choice but keep running for office.

He's already collecting social security. He will get a pension from his time in the Senate. He can downsize and sell one or more of his houses. Jane can get a job.
— EvaHeartsGidget2 (@ThisGirlisTen7) December 29, 2019
He can retire fairly well. Estimated $2.5 million net worth, government pension and free healthcare the rest of his life. Not too bad. Not too bad at all.

No, please stay. You are still too young and haven't lost enough.

Amen brother! Get the hell out of politics! The only ideas you have are “free, free, free” when you know damn well you can’t deliver. Nothing in life is free, unless you’re a politician. And even then, we taxpayers pay the bill.
— Donna Smith (@richard58411935) December 30, 2019
So why is he still here? Last time he lost by almost 4,000,000 votes.
— Stabby Spice (@KathleenSoprano) December 29, 2019
Just like every other politician, Bernie won’t keep his promises, especially this one to get out of politics if he loses.
— Exiled at Home (@Exiledathome) December 30, 2019
Part of politics, as Bernie knows, is successful implementation of same.
That isn't his strong suit.
— JohnnyAWendell (@JohnnyAWendell) December 30, 2019
His ideas have been crap when he entered politics and not improved since.
— Horst von Horstmann (@Kaboom1776) December 30, 2019
Good point:
No, I want him to be America's Corbyn who leads the left too far left and results in their catastrophic losses.
