Congratulations to our presumptive Democratic nominee, Joe Biden!
Democratic Primaries
In reply to the discussion: Is David Axelrod an Ageist? [View all]still_one
(92,304 posts)30. Another negative post about Biden by the OP. The OP only singles out Biden with the "age" problem
in this thread. Others mentioned Sanders, but the OP conveniently leaves Sanders out, in spite of the fact that Sanders is older than Biden, and the two leading candidates in the Democratic primaries currently are the two oldest candidates.
I get it, You don't like Biden, and most likely you won't vote for him in the primaries anyway, but it sure seems you go out of your way to post as many negative things or stories about Biden as you can find, while strangely you have very little to say about your preference, Booker?
Why is that?
If I were to vote in a presidential
primary today, I would vote for: Joe Biden

Considering age is not necessarily ageism. I don't question Biden's ability to execute his duties

The older the car, the more likely the breakdown. The older the house, the more likely the problems.

I'm 60 and I've thought about this as well. I do not think it means we're bashing anyone,

It is an excellent observation. In fact in this OP about "age", he only singles out Biden, but

I agree, and mentioned that directly to the OP in a separate post. I also think it is ageist.

Well, I was concerned about Biden's age & long record *before* he entered the race...

I understand your point, and you are using age as the focal point, but regardless of age, what you

I think a lot of Biden's gaffes are not gaffes. Sharing with Obama that passage of the ACA is a BFD

Not taking the bait. You don't do a thing to rep your guy. Booker? Tell us why you support him.
