In reply to the discussion: Most Americans Don't Want Biden or Trump to Run Again: Poll [View all]Rural_Progressive
(1,105 posts)I thought Biden running for POTUS was intended to accomplish two things. First, obviously, to defeat TFG. Second, to act as a bridge, transitioning from the old guard and bringing the new, and in many cases, brilliant young talent in the Democratic Party into leadership positions. At some point my generation (I'll be 70 in a couple of months) has to let go of the reins and let the people who are inheriting the mess we're leaving them take control and make the changes necessary for them to have a shot at the future.
In fact it's time for pretty much everybody from my generation to get out of active leadership roles and move on to the job of elders offering wise and sage advice based on years of experience. Most of us are out of touch with the younger generations and those who have spent decades in the beltway are pretty much out of touch with the rest of the nation as well.
Time to change the guard folks, the young folk are going to have to live with what's coming it's only right that they should get to make the decisions that will help them navigate through the rough waters ahead.
