…and you need old experienced voices who have seen all this shit before and know how to deal with it.

The problem with this is that the majority of Biden’s experience, just as an example, is of a world that no longer exists. Most of his life literally predates the internet.

His experience doesn’t include crippling college debt. It doesn’t include wage slaving at poverty levels.

It doesn’t include a time when you couldn’t afford a house if you had a job- any job.

Doesn’t include a time where you needed a 4 year degree to be an intern in the copy room.

Doesn’t include a time when loyalty to a company wasn’t repaid with more exploitation.

Doesn’t include a time where the us government could be the fascist bastards we are today.

And that’s part of how we got here.

Not only is the lived experience of most people in their 80’s fundamentally irrelevant to the modern world- it’s actively hurting us. Never forget that people like Biden allowed the oligarchs to exist, allowed the closet fascist party to fester into the openly fascist party.
