    It’s a pretty damn sad state if affairs that the guy who was elected president in 1992 is younger NOW than both major party candidates 😮‍💨

      It’s not just the age, they actually worked for the support of younger voters.

      Clinton went on MTV and a bunch of talk shows, he took questions on live TV from teenagers and treated them with respect.

      Obama used social media and TV to reach the youth.

      Biden is barely fucking seen by any voters, and rarely even takes questions from the press.

      If he really was a medical marvel and mentally half his age, he wouldn’t be constantly hiding and having his team swear up and down if no cameras are in the room he’s a completely different person.

      The DNC just gave up on voter outreach, they don’t want young progressives influencing the party, they want boomer conservatives so there’s an excuse to move more right
