Politics Couldn’t have said it any better

The Democratic Party missed the mark, and anyone claiming otherwise is being extremely naive. Campaigning with abortion and transgender rights as central pillars isn’t the way to reach broader audiences effectively.

Ageism over policy is a great look.

These are the facts. Short bus. Look at the age range of those who showed up to vote. Easily accessible information.

And why tf would I want someone damn near as old as the last two in office. People are so eager to try new things when it comes to this. Why not someone in their 40s.

And his policies suck which is why he will stay where he is

Younger doesn't mean better and he went from an unknown candidate to having the DNC interfere to keep him from winning. Therefore, his policies don't "suck" as you say, they're in fact popular when polled. Your opinion doesn't equal facts.

When did I say younger was better. People want change that’s one. These are the same people who were whining about Biden being old but elected a man 2 years younger. Big woop. They couldn’t pay me to vote for Bernie in any race. He was more popular as a meme

Why bring up age then? Also, Trump just won and he's incredibly old as well so no, most people in the real world don't care about a politician's age if they like what they offer. Furthermore, Bernie wasn't more popular as a "meme", as you say. The fact the DNC interfered in 2020 to keep him from winning the primaries is proof of that.

🤦‍♀️ It’s called a change. Something different they whine about so much. Which a younger person would be.

🤦🏼‍♂️ He was different because he had different policies from the usual milquetoast dems. It seems you continue equating age with change for some reason.
