as a gen xer, how might i explain this?

it seems counter-intuitive. i wouldn't have predicted that. but, if you just sort through this page, you'll see that i don't like either of them. in fact, i can state fairly tersely that i legitimately hate both candidates, and that my disdain for biden is much greater than it is for clinton.

it might be that simple. very young people don't like trump, but every poll for the last 100 years has the democrats winning people under 30, and (1) that always seems to change as they age and (2) they don't vote, anyways. i wouldn't draw too much from that, given that we've seen the same development over the last four years that we've seen for decades; the millenials and gen x are apparently republicanizing, just like the boomers and the generations before them did.

and, older people just seem to like biden better, maybe because they're still having problems with seeing women in leadership roles.

but, gen xers seem to have liked clinton better than either biden or trump, and biden even less than trump; in my own age category, what's developing is something like clinton > trump > biden, and i have to admit that that's becoming my own view, as well.

we just seem to dislike biden more than we dislike trump.
