something that democratic commentators are fundamentally misunderstanding is that the perception of age across the parties is not reciprocal. democrats need young voters to win, but what we're learning is that the problems in democratic appeal are not restricted to having this old guy as the face of the party. republicans, on the other hand, are the party of old men, and they see themselves in an older candidate like trump. republicans like old white men; it's what they are, themselves.

biden's age was consequently a liability, admittedly, while trump's age is actually an asset.

but i said from the start that harris was the worst possible candidate. who was responsible for setting this up? ultimately, biden, by picking her, and that will just be recorded in history as one of his myriad mistakes.
