I joined DU in 2004, so I've been posting here for 16 years. I was in my 40s then. Lots of other DUers have been here for more than a decade, and we've aged as time passed.

Consider this. A person who joined DU in 2002 at the age of 35 is now 53.

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