2004 was only as high as it was because it was Bush after 9/11.
But seriously though, trying to pass off Al Gore as a “young” candidate at 52 is hilarious, that man came out of the womb with bifocals complaining about “kids these days”.
The sheer audacity of claiming 52 is young just highlights how normalized this has become. A 52 year old running for their first term should already be considered too old.
45% of voters didn’t vote when it was a 54 year old vs a 52 year old in 2000 Bush v Gore. It’s not the age thing.
The nepotism baby of HW, and one of the least charismatic people to run for president…
Wonder why turnout was low…
Meanwhile look at 92 and 08 when two of our youngest presidents ever, and they blow out everyone around them.

High voter turnout in 08? But McCain was 72! Guess it’s not the age thing.
I don’t know if it would be worse if you were being sincere or trying to troll…
But neither is a good look, have fun whatever you’re doing I guess
