        maybe, but there’s no way there isn’t a huge overlap between them

        like i’m supposed to believe that the majority of people who liked AOC in 2020 supported Bernie in the primary, and now the majority of people who like AOC are saying Biden is too old, but these are totally separate groups of people with barely any overlap

      I thought Biden and Bernie were both too old in 2020, but people could entirely consistently consider 78 (Bernie 2020) “not too old” and 81 (Biden 2024) “too old”. Both of them have gotten older since Bernie was being considered for the role of president.
