In Trump’s first term, grassroots Democrats focused their ire on the Republican president. But now, after President Joe Biden’s reluctance to step aside in 2024 at age 81 helped pave the way for Trump’s return to the White House, many see their party’s own veterans as part of the problem.

    Love how 40s to 50s is what we consider a young politician theee days. It’s a start, but sad

      Nearly half the age of the average politician, but I hear you.

      Personally, I don’t trust anyone older than a Millennial to come anywhere near being capable of relating to the struggle of the working class.

      Yes, obviously there are wealthy individuals of all generations that couldn’t possibly relate regardless, however if you’re over 50 your view of this country was shaped by a completely different experience compared to those younger than you. In every way possible.
