21. I don't like the ageism attacks

Thu Oct 31, 2024, 12:52 PM

Oct 31

As someone nearly 80, I take offense. Plus I remember all the ageism cracks about Joe. I've really had enough of it.

Go after his immorality, his incompetence and his mental acuity (or lack of), but leave out the ageism attacks. Meanwhile, getting in a garbage truck has nothing to do with being president, though it was a really stupid photo op.

I expect better from Democratic leaders. Though considering all the vile, nasty things Trump has said on the campaign trail, I'll give Walz a pass on this one.
