33. I'm older than 50, and I fail to see any "senior citizens" being cast aside.

We’re Dems, we voted for President Biden, he’s our president.

We worry about him just as we would Obama, either of the Clintons, Carter…hell I’d express concern if Buttigieg sounded unwell, or Psaki, or Harris.

Lol, just about everyone on the board is a “senior citizen” so I really don’t see us casting anyone our age or older “aside.”

Wow WTF is up with people here? berni_mccoy Dec 2021 #57

What did he say, berni? Did you listen to that? MineralMan Dec 2021 #61

We'll agree to disagree that the President's health is a matter of public concern berni_mccoy Dec 2021 #62

OK. Did you listen to what he said? MineralMan Dec 2021 #64

How is that relevant to this fucked up conversation? berni_mccoy Dec 2021 #69

Seems that mostly those who supported other candidates are 'concerned'? Demsrule86 Dec 2021 #54

You think Biden's supporters don't care about him? leftstreet Dec 2021 #77

I have not seen any Biden supporters raise any concerns that mirror the right wing bullshit talking Demsrule86 Dec 2021 #79
