(8,226 posts)...are the same ones that voted for someone who was even older in the 2020 primary.
Just sayin'!
It ain't about age for most of these people. It's just a convenient excuse to hate on who the majority of Democrats have selected as their standard bearer. It's Joe age, it was Hillary emails or her paid speeches (heaven forbid!). When Kamala was the bright shiny thing, it was her history as a prosecutor; when Buttigieg won the Iowa caucus, it was his donors. When it was Beto, it was his connections to the oil and gas industry. You can go on and on.
You can't please 100% of the people 100% of the time.
And many of the same people who happily and proudly voted for Obama turned around and criticized him as well once he got into office and actually had to start making tough decisions. Just look at 2010 or even the lower turnout for him in 2012.
