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
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
Reminder that these two are outliers, and most presidents have been roughly in their 50s: https://www.statista.com/chart/19665/age-of-us-presidents-at-inauguration/
Yep.

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 😮💨

You still have to run people that are going to win. I voted for Beto, but there was no way he was going to win in Texas.
I’m talking about the presidency right now.
And the last time Dems won Texas was Jimmy Carter in 1976. He wasn’t exactly know for being conservative.
So I really don’t understand how your comment is relevant.
Texas isn’t representative of the entire country…
