Unpopular Opinion
Welcome to the Unpopular Opinion community!
How voting works:
Vote the opposite of the norm.
If you agree that the opinion is unpopular give it an arrow up. If it's something that's widely accepted, give it an arrow down.
Guidelines:
Tag your post, if possible (not required)
- If your post is a "General" unpopular opinion, start the subject with [GENERAL].
- If it is a Lemmy-specific unpopular opinion, start it with [LEMMY].
Rules:
1. NO POLITICS
Politics is everywhere. Let's make this about [general] and [lemmy] - specific topics, and keep politics out of it.
2. Be civil.
Disagreements happen, but that doesn’t provide the right to personally attack others. No racism/sexism/bigotry. Please also refrain from gatekeeping others' opinions.
3. No bots, spam or self-promotion.
Only approved bots, which follow the guidelines for bots set by the instance, are allowed.
4. Shitposts and memes are allowed but...
Only until they prove to be a problem. They can and will be removed at moderator discretion.
5. No trolling.
This shouldn't need an explanation. If your post or comment is made just to get a rise with no real value, it will be removed. You do this too often, you will get a vacation to touch grass, away from this community for 1 or more days. Repeat offenses will result in a perma-ban.
6. Defend your opinion
This is a bit of a mix of rules 4 and 5 to help foster higher quality posts. You are expected to defend your unpopular opinion in the post body. We don't expect a whole manifesto (please, no manifestos), but you should at least provide some details as to why you hold the position you do.
Instance-wide rules always apply. https://legal.lemmy.world/tos/

Bernie Sanders is older than Trump or Biden. Even though I don't questions his motivation, it's time for him to retire and it's time for younger people to stand up and take the challenge. If the right wing can produce their grifters by the dozens, it wouldn't be unreasonable to think it's possible to have a young left wing leader with (financial or other) backing from the public? Maybe Bernie could kick start it, start an NGO to achieve this. But it shouldn't have to depend on him.
I think so as well. That's why I proposed leveraging his wisdom (and face), not make him president. I mean he seems to still have a sharp mind. But I think it's about time to also do away with 80+ yo dudes to come up with policy. There surely must be someone roughly at working age amongst 350 million people, who's capable to do that job?! Maybe even with some charisma so they're able to gather people around them?
