I'm not conflating shyt.
I used the term 'voters' as you've used it yourself, with the same connotation - voters who vote for presidential candidates.
trump voters are a subset of voters. this means at least 46% out of turnout, clearly didnt give shyt about trump having exactly ZERO political experience. this is clearly different from other levels of politics or leadership in most offices and non-government companies alike
I dont give a shyt about age of senate, my point was only about the presidency. again, american voters have showcased multiple times that on average, they dont give a shyt about experience level of candidates.The average age of the US Senate is 61
We just elected the youngest freshman class since.....2011.
trump voters arent special.
um...yea ? again, it has been showcased that in a race for presidency, it really doesnt matter - people vote for avatars rather than experience or policy. trump is just a recent example. we can bring W in there too, with all of his 5 years experience being a governor off his pops name.

exactly. voters on average dont give a shyt about experience when it comes to electing a president. it's a popularity/symbolism contest that is chasing waterfalls and not substance.
yet tru mac is on here talking about 'mainstream' voters
can he at least lay out what % of voters is 'mainstream' voters and who are they exactly, because you can create phantom subsets that suit your points all day long.
I'm not speaking for him, but I think it's a safe bet to say that Dems have been pushing old voters for high office with the idea that they have to be experienced. As a result we have traditionally seen older candidates rise to the forefront because they've done their time in the DNC establishment.exactly. voters on average dont give a shyt about experience when it comes to electing a president. it's a popularity/symbolism contest that is chasing waterfalls and not substance.

And there are a lot of voters who follow the line of DNC establishment and vote accordingly. Especially with a lot of mainstream (consistent turn out dem voters) also being older people themselves.
With the shift in electorate (gen x/millenials making up the same amount of the voter base at boomers/silent generation) we've seen a shift in the last election with a young freshman class
I think it's safe to assume that young voters will Continue to support and vote for the young fresh faces that have fresh ideas. Now it's up to the establishment to push this young talent to the front of the party and older voters to support them despite their lack of "experience."
Biden was chosen because Obama is a moderate.
Is there any way that Beto isnt gonna be the VP?
Hes polling ridiculously well in Texas. I know the argument that people dont vote for VPs but if he could put TX in play that would be major
