Everyone in this election is over 70.
So what’s your point at all.

We left this too old too white too male crap at the door months ago.
Joe is going to be president. He’s going to be a good and successful one

Your ageism is a moot point.

I may be naive but at least I am aware that the next president is going to be older than you want. Either you deal with it or you don’t. But that’s the reality and not just my reality.

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