Because he's over a decade past senior citizen.
Who the fuck do you think your constituents are? All retired senior citizens?
If a 35 year old was running, I'd vote for them literally for the age alone, providing there were no fascism ties.
We need to stop electing people that have not worked a job in over 60 years. It's a fucking joke.
I will vote for anyone under 40. I will NEVER vote for a senior citizen.
Fuck this bullshit.
Mother fucker if Biden is the not-Trump option then you better vote for his senior citizen ass. Elections have consequences. Be idealistic in the primary but for fucks sake vote logically on election day.
Staying home or voting 3rd part/write in is a vote for Trump and is indirect violence against your fellow citizens and others around the world. How many more people would be alive today if we didn't have Trump purposely providing bad COVID information?
Lives are literally at stake. Hold your nose and pull the correct lever. It's simple harm reduction.
Mother fucker, no. I'll vote how I want, and not how some one else tells me.
That's what makes it my vote.
That's how you piss away your vote and end up with a second Trump term...
It's also how you get no climate action.
Not voting for a senior citizen. Go cast your own vote and quit telling people how to cast theirs.
Um... Inflation Reduction Act?
I just think it's tremendously stupid to attack the Democratic party from the left and then cast a vote (or fail to vote altogether) that makes it more likely to end up with a Republican government that is even further right. Seriously. It's fucking braindead. Your options are mildly left, or far right. Far left ain't on the table. So pick the mildly left. Then in the next PRIMARY, vote far left (or young, whatever it is you want).
cornel west is probably going to be on my ballot.
Where the fuck did I attack the Democratic party?
I said I'm not voting for senior citizens, or fascists.
Fucking learn to read before you come out swinging, dingus.
Falsely implying there has been no climate action, vehemently opposing their candidate over his age, and refusing to vote for them seems a bit aggro toward the party 🤷♂️
Doing too little too late is about as good as no climate action. Democrats' solution is to throw money at private entities who are looking to maximize profits, not saving the environment.
We failed to declare a climate emergency. I don't trust senior citizens to make the right calls about our future.
Again, I am attacking senior citizens in office. I am saying I won't vote for them.
I don't care how you feel about that. I'm not sure why you think I do.
I don't expect you to give a shit about my feelings. Was just hoping maybe you or someone reading this might come around to the idea that realistically, there are only two ~~options~~ outcomes, and we should avoid the fascistic one at all costs.
For the record, my feelings are that I'd really like to see younger people in office too, but I'm not gonna shoot myself (and the country) in the foot over it.
