9. Meant as a deflection as well as somewhat tongue in cheek, so far it's worked.

You posted this in another thread in answer to my post, reflecting on what I hear from many youths at my job.
One Biden supporter lambasted to me: "You need new friends"...
LOL-- so, quit my job, move elsewhere due to the local youths. Ahem...
Plain and simply, in my area, the youths just simply aren't excited with Biden. Most still either wrote in Bernie or just sat out the election, and.... here we are.
I'm going on 60, and fully aware of Joe Biden's environmental stance, damn proud that he was outspoken on this.
The youths, at least those near me, see a lukewarm candidate, more of the same middle of the road fence straddling "please everyone" candidate they simply aren't excited about. Another older adult figure telling them "everything will be okay with a little progression of the status quo".
He doesn't represent them.


If I were to vote in a presidential
primary today, I would vote for:
Joe Biden
