If Biden is elected then he'll likely be e dead in a year... because he's old as fuck.

This was posted in July of 2020, so you've already missed the mark.

He's still going to be old as fuck next year too. It will never happen (this election), but I would sure like to be able to vote for someone that was born when at least there was a TV in every home. I'm definitely not voting for the orange guy, or anyone like him, so I guess I'm stuck between a rock and a bedpan this time around too.

Agreed. As it happens, I'm a Gen Xer, and at this point, because the Boomers have so badly overstayed their tenure on power, it looks like Obama is the closest thing that we'll ever have to an Xer president, though technically he's a boomer.

It's very likely that my generation won't ever really come to power, smashed between two much larger generations as we are.

Maybe that's how it had to be, but I sure don't like it.

If we'd been given a chance at governance, I think we could have made some real and meaningful changes, but no, the Boomers had to hang on and now we are so outnumbered by the millennials that we are basically a demographic afterthought.

Well, as they say, in a democracy demography is destiny.

He's upholding the primary directive of Republican messaging:

"Be vawy vawy scared!"

... and thus very very easy to manipulate.
