Clinton (Bill) and Obama were two of the youngest too.
And they had no problem reaching the youth and winning their elections.
Now we're running someone 30+ older than either of them and Biden, his campaign team, his supporters and the DNC keep saying they don't understand why the youth isn't excited for vote for someone older than their grandpa who's completely out of touch with not just their generation. But their parents too.
Dem voters want young progressive (at least pretending) candidates.
Not elderly conservatives who have been in government for 50 years
Why? Because two candidates you don’t like happen to be old?
Because the risk of diseases and/or death is too high? Then what about 70 year olds? 65? Where is the threshold for a high BMI? What about smokers?
Too many gaffes? May I present Bush Jr? How old was he?
Not getting things done? Look at Moscow Mitch. Horrible person with a terrifying track record, but until his very recent sharp decline he absolutely and ruthlessly dominated his colleagues.
IMHO that age debate is stupid and dangerous. It’s a watercooler talk- and news media-fest of superficiality.
Shouldn’t the candidates track record, their plans and their character be much, much more important? Yet their age has been obstructing the public debate for months now.
