Dude, you are a wise man but as a wise man, you must know you have blind spots. We all do. So, yes, I listen when my parents give advice. As their son, I know when not to take it too.
Of the three septuagenarians, Warren is the best. Still, she's out of touch to some degree. She is at least a little out of touch or else that whole hoo-haw over her heritage wouldn't have happened. She was wrong and dug in her heels. I think she still doesn't' get it but is saying the right things to get elected. I'm guessing you don't get it either. I don't want a person to be president who doesn't understand the current culture. We all grow up and soak in the culture of our salad days. She grew up in different times and I'm simply saying that I want somebody who I think has a better chance of understanding today's culture, not the days of bee-bop.
Kamala Harris is in her fifties. It's not as if she's still wet behind the ears, nor is she a millennial and that's not so bad either. She has a whopping strong resume showing she can work well with others to get shit done. She's not my ideal candidate but I'm going to give her a good listen. Same with all the others except maybe Beto, who I probably won't vote for. Its more the lack of experience than his youth though. Same with that Butti guy.
As I've said before, for the primary, Biden and Bernie are off my list. OFF the list. End of discussion for those two. Still, I'm OK if others like them. Unlike the Bernie bots, I can respect a well thought out reason for choosing them. Electabillity is as good a reason as others, which is what I hear is why you prefer Biden. Bernie is not electable, so end of discussion on him.
I'll vote for who I like best in the primary and for the Democratic nominee in the fall. I don't like Biden but I'll vote for him if the party nominates him because we have to vote Republicans out.
