Point out to them that for all his age, Joe Biden is living in THIS century and dealing with this century's issues. Using this century's reality as his starting point.
A lot of Republicans half his age can't say that.
You might also remind them that if they don't want to be boomers, they could start by avoiding our mistakes.
All the Eugene McCarthy folks who thought Humphrey was too old gave us Nixon, Watergate and four more years of Vietnam (and Cambodia.)
Bill, I don't know that's true for everyone
Two of my aunts lived into their 80s and neither one of them complained about pain.
The one who was 84 went out every day and met with friends until covid -- then she learned how to use Zoom.
She walked everywhere and if it weren't for her lupus reacting with other medications, we'd still have her.
A friend's father was playing tennis three times a week in his mid 80s.
There are family members younger than me who do wake up in pain, who do suffer from ailments like arthritis.
Look at Jimmy Carter building houses in his 80s.
Sometimes it's the luck of the draw.
All good and fair points. My greatest concern is voter turnout. Young voter turnout.
