11. It makes sense as their disipline involves studying people and society.

Being kind of like professional observers. They know more about trends, and behaviours than most. And they're not afraid to call out bad behaviour, even if its just for a laugh.

But it seems like Democrats are even more tightly wound than Republicans when it comes to allowing an "outsider" to take the reigns of the party. Every cycle Sanders is vilified for being an outsider, and he's been working with them for like 40 years!

This is one of the most threatening thing to the Democratic party. That the elders in the establishment just cannot release their grasp and allow a fresh new face full of progressive ideas to lead the party into the 21st century. At least not in a sudden dramatic way like Biden stepping aside and Jon running. Which if done, would revolutionize, and reinvigorate the party and country for the best for decades. As R's wouldn't have anyone near as popular, or as smart or witty.

I don't care anymore about any new President having to have years and years in the Washington bubble, learning all the hidden rules and handshakes, before being eligible. There are plenty of others in those positions that could be his advisors. All that matters is that the head honcho is smart, kind, empathetic, and abides by the law.
