    My point was that age only became a talking point in regard to Biden and that’s the only person in the aforementioned gerontocracy that seems to have been affected by the younger voters being fed up, so we’re essentially saying the same thing.

    But why single out “the left?” Grassley won reelection two years ago and he’s 91 and afaik plans to run again in 2028.

      Generally it’s young Democratic voters complaining, but again, same voters who support Sanders and Warren.

      We saw a little bit of it, but not enough of it, with Diane Feinstein. I’m surprised we’re not hearing it about Nancy Pelosi. If you’re old enough to fall and break a hip, you probably shouldn’t be in office.

        Yeah, agreed that they’re all too old. Bernie is great, but I’d have expected him to retire by now.
