Yes, I will vote for Biden, obviously.

But our country is run by a demographic that is way more old, white, male, cisgendered, and heterosexual than the overall population. That should be troubling. Why is he wrong for saying it's a problem. They are both too old. Reagan was too old. It's OK to say it.

And, he made it very clear that Trump is worse than Biden. So, there's that.
