19. Hopefully this picks up the youth vote

That have been all too willing to chime in with the media's "grandpa Biden too old" mantra even some of MSNBC has been echoing.
A lot of youth has deep resentment of boomers. I can share some of that as a tail-end boomer myself, having authored well received extensive blurbs about how our coming of age experience differed significantly compared to the mid-boom babies, far more in common with Gen X.
Now honesty time: myself, under another pseudonym here on DU wasn't tops on the choice of JB as the nominee in 2019. He turned out to be far more surprisingly, impressively progressive. But here it is: I predicted our nemeses would flap about Biden's "gaffe machine" reputation. Hate to say I told ya so...
Now despite the optics of the last minute shift not being great, and frankly I don't care who runs as our D candidate, Ill back 'em on my ballot.
