Truthfully if I ignore the treason, age is very much my next issue. I hardly feel represented when my president is 50 years my senior.

Administrations matter. Look even if your worried about Biden’s age, if something happens to him would you rather have his administration or Trumps? Cause the answer is very clear for me at least.

Presidents do not fill the office in isolation.

Woaw there, same team hombre. I know how I'm voting and lemme tell you it ain't for treasondon. I'm just saying I'm not a fan of the fact that Biden is as old as he is. Sure he seems to be capable and doing a good job minus the Israel situation, I'd just be a bit happier were he younger and I think that's a fair criticism to make

How so?

[–] toasteecup 2 points 9 months ago (1 children)

Age leads to a difference in viewpoint, what is hugely important to me isn't necessarily so with someone 50 years older than me. How do I know it'll be viewed with the same importance?

Mind you, I'm still voting for him. I'd just like someone a little closer to me in age and hopefully viewpoint.

But by this reasoning, anyone under 35 is not going to be represented. Same for anyone that is not a naturalized citizen.
