I have many Gen Z folks in my life (kids, students, my patients). They felt completely unheard and unseen with two 80ish men running. They felt unheard and less motivated. This is going to motivate them. The torch needs to be passed. He should have announced he wouldn't run a year ago. I would have voted for Biden, you would have voted for Biden. Most of us here would have, but that wasn't enough to win this election and to think otherwise is out of touch with every voter under the age of 35. We need their votes to win! We need a new generation in charge.

Sorry your primary choice lost in 2020. That's no excuse to falsely shit on Biden, especially today.
