...good candidates come in all age groups.
Moreover, this denigrates older, experienced pols who may well be vulnerable to this ageist claptrap that's dubiously passing for political wisdom since the ageists carped Biden out of the race and the presidency, but are responsible for fighting for and enacting the majority of the progressive change of any political generation.
Some people are thrashing around looking for some pat answer to the lost presidential election, and it's essentially apathetic people in that age group the olders like Obama are patronizing who couldn't be bothered to defend their own prerogatives in that election.
It galls me, because it reminds me of childraising.
Fact is, the Democratic party, with all of it's aged members, EXCELS in the majority. They just do, even with the sorry asses like Manchin and Sinema, because we are the ONLY party that set our agenda based on what the people need.
The republican party has always been as they've revealed themselves in this solid majority rule, and THAT"S what our focus should be on; not this navelgazing backbiting against elected Dems who may not be able to wow the kids on the internet, but know how to legislate when those kids give them them the numbers to carry out those ideals.
Time would be better spent here explaining the process of advancing legislation through Congress to that age group, but I'm certain they'll just tell me they know better than the people who've already fought and WON elections against actual republicans, going on to advance landmark legislation - even legislation that bears the younger president's name.
