      My god can we get a younger social Democrat please? Fuckin A I’m tired of people born before WW2 ended making all the policy decisions. I was going to say before the moon landing but they were all adults when that happened. They’re not even Boomers. They’re fucking older than boomers.

            If those two ran on a presidential ticket together, the Republican Party would dial up the “it’ll be the end times if they win and only our lord and savior Trump can stop it” to 1000.

          Most of America. But they aren’t becoming politicians. Mostly because politicians are really bad people for the most part. You get maybe 5 percent that don’t have ulterior motives.

            5 percent is awfully generous. Maybe it’s that high for people that try to run, but the vast majority of people that win are sucking someone’s teet.

        Who cares how old they are as long as they have the right positions on the issues and a sound mind? I love having people with some wisdom in there.

          You’ve never seen what dementia can do to a person. Or, just the general confusion that comes with age. I’m happy for you, honestly it sucks to watch. Someone who used to know everything suddenly gets confused on the way to a restaurant they’ve been to a thousand times. Forgets why they called, or even that they called you in the first place. And, importantly, have their opinions flip on a dime with no warning whatsoever.

          This isn’t necessarily dementia, it can be caused by any number of things, ailments that younger people would brush off without a thought.

            You’ve never seen what dementia can do to a person.

            Believe me, I know all too well. I’ve had a few family members die from Alzheimer’s. Losing someone is never easy, but you lose that person long before they pass away and it’s heartbreaking.

            My point is that age is merely a number. There are people well above the age of Biden and have all their mental faculties.
