(42,666 posts)Kamala Harris is probably my number 1 choice for our POTUS nominee this 2020 cycle. I NEVER said anything bad about Obama, I think over he was a good POTUS. Magnificent compare the the fucker Trump.
That said Harris would been our oldest elected winner since Truman.
I am NOT going after a specific generation, just saying that generations time comes and goes and it most definitely does matter what 'era' one comes from when you look at when they are running for POTUS.
Let's take Biden for instance. He not only is out of touch with younger people, but has an open antipathy for my generation (I was born in 1995) and also the Gen Zer's.
He not only ramrodded though the horrid 2005 Bankruptcy bill that crushes millions of us (NOT just students, but everyday peple as well), but also shows outright antipathy toward our 2 generations (who now make up the biggest voting block in America).

As a Senator in Delaware, Biden shepherded to passage a law that decimated bankruptcy protection for milllions

Uni cost around 250 USD per YEAR when Biden graduated. I and my college cohorts are racking up 100K, 150K, 200K, 300K USD (or more) in student loan debt!!
Plus toss on outrageous health insurance premiums and deductibles and then add inflationary costs to both!!!
The systemic wealth extraction is in breakdown mode now and will be unsustainable in just a decade or two more at current rates of increase.
We need NEW leadership, not people who are simply in 'stay the course mode'!
Silent Gens and Boomers NEVER had to deal with this level of insane wealth extraction, and people who say, 'Oh, just deal with it' can, tbh, just fuck right off.
Silent Generation politician are NOW out of touch, and by 2040 (and probably well before) so will be Boomer politicians.
primary today, I would vote for: Joe Biden
