Bernie or Biden. It's difficult to muster much more than the minimum enthusiasm needed to vote for either one.
They're old white guys, and there's reason to believe both are in less than optimal health condition.
Sanders had a heart attack not too long ago; Biden hasn't always appeared to be that sharp during his debating performances. It's an ongoing pastime for political observers to note how presidents seem to age quickly in office.

Biden, for instance, promises that his election will somehow bring the Republican Party to its senses that the polarization which has defined American politics in the 21st century will somehow recede so that he can get stuff done. He is wrong.
Sanders is staking his election on a massive turnout of young voters that, so far, hasn't really materialized.

Each man brings some unique weaknesses to the table. Biden has been in Washington, D.C., so long nearly 50 years that he has naturally been on the wrong side of history a few times, from supporting the disastrous Iraq War to failing Anita Hill.
Sanders hints at having undemocratic tendencies: His unwillingness to provide full disclosure about his heart attacks and his praise for dictators, as is his willingness to take a different stance on the Democratic Party's nomination rules depending on what benefits him most.
