70. He has lived in Vermont since 1964 when he moved right after graduating from college.

He doesn't thrive in a teamwork, consensus, coalition model, and prefers a top down management style with him at the top. SNCC must have been frustrating for him.

He hasn't needed to display emotional intelligence about and empathy with POC or a need to champion their issues since then, to get elected and re-elected in very white, very rural Vermont for decades. The Sanders Institue "Gathering" in Burlington was very frustrating for racial justice leadership in Vermont and elsewhere.

I'm sure that being told he does now is very frustrating, and from watching interviews with him when a difficult problem is brought up, he gets testy with the person doing the asking.

If I were to vote in a presidential
primary today, I would vote for: Joe Biden
