It's perfectly okay to think Biden is too old to run again all while being anti-GOP/anti-hardcore conservative. I'm much more in favor of younger politicians who I feel are more in touch with the needs of today, while the older generation I often feel get caught up in the needs of yesterday.
So you think folks over a certain age are caught up in the needs of yesterday?
In a way you are correct because of Roe vs wade. Almost 50 years of not having to worry about a personal medical issue.
What other needs of yesterday? While Biden is not AOC ( who I adore ) I don't see regressive policy happening with his approval.
@KazzyH @Stevo i think they are often caught up in the politics of yesterday. It took Biden a long time to admit the GOP wouldn't just revert to what he remembered from the Senate once TFG was gone.
But it matters less what individuals think than the voting public. The majority aren't thrilled with either of our likely two options. Dems better not be putting all the eggs in the we probably can beat Trump basket.
How do you know that the " majority " are not thrilled with the two likely options?
To be fair it seems it's been that way for a while now although I was really happy/ pumped about Obama.
@KazzyH @Stevo When I first learned some nations have mandatory voting , like Oz, I thought it was stupid and just encouraged uninformed people to vote.
I have come around. The uninformed vote anyway. Better to force engagement and disrupt the privileged who reason "I'll be okay either way" and have the nerve to be surprised when motivated morons rule.

I live in a state where 75% of the voters turn out.
36% of our youth voted in the mid-terms down a bit from 2018 like 06% or some such. Tiny but again on the higher side nation wide.
I also look at special elections.
