I laughed at this too. OP must have meant the memes because they were/are prices!

No one seems truly excited about Biden.

I am looking forward to a period of calm. To a time of recovery from the past 4 years of frenetic lawlessness. To some healing.

Amen and I am voting in Va absent in person primary today. I expect Biden to add Harris or Gilliam. I have one issue this election: Trump.

-45, AA, woman

Ironically, one can get all of the positives of Biden but without the baggage, by supporting Klobachar.

I’m not at all here to ask you to vote for my preferred candidate. Sincerely, I’m not. I’m saying please don’t vote for Biden solely because you think he’s “the most electable.”

I’d ask that you vote for the person who excites you. Vote for the person who’s ideas you love. Vote for a person who is more than a placeholder for 4 years. Vote for the person who will most likely live to see the results of their policies. Vote for the person who has an awareness of current ideas, beliefs, trends, culture...or, at the very least, an interest and ability to learn.

I know that you don’t mean it to sound that way, but these comments are incredibly naive and offensive. I appreciate the enthusiasm of youth, but your arguments would be more persuasive if you could convince your fellow millennials to vote in the same numbers as ‘the oldsters’. Believe it or not, we don’t all shrivel up and die once we hit sixty. A lot of us were fighting for your rights before you were even born.

I’m not a millennial; I’m a Gen Xer. (I will not assume you’re a boomer.)

I’m not naive. In fact, I pay attention. What I’m saying may sound offensive, and I totally get that. It’s true, though. Oldsters cannot carry the electorate alone. If you truly like Biden, I get you’re support. My issue is a lot of people are voting for him because they think he appeals to the masses.

He does not.

Are you a white farmer in the middle of the country? Hate to tell you this but the white folks that voted for trump will not vote for a woman still.
As you mention they are oldsters so next election/2024 there likely will be fewer of them. But for now we need somebody they will vote for.

My only reservation is that certain forces within his government might prevail and we will get a california at the federal level. Lots of growth and opportunity for the very well off and very poor (illegal migrants) but also a less and less appealing place to live for the middle folks and “domestic” poor.
