This whole Biden stepping down vs Trump saga is a metaphor for the American baby boomer generation's approaches to their own reckoning of their old age and their reluctance to pass down the torch to another generation.
Oh God yes, and it is reflected in my own family members who are all in their 70s. They strongly believe that a 70 or 80 year old is in "the prime of their life" and that "I have never been of sharper mind and more capable than at the age of 74."
Just totally delusional. "Me" generation indeed.
Yes, they have a wealth of knowledge but they don't realize that at that age they need to decide for the improvement of the next generation. But unfortunately people are selfish like that.
Yeah that's exactly what I was thinking.
I feel really bad for Biden. There's more that he wants to do. But he's gotten too old to be able to do those things. But he's accepted it, and he should be respected for that.
He will still have enormous influence when the Dems keep the White House for the next presidential term. And that's a good position for him to be in, he has great experience, knowledge, vision, and insight.
Exactly. Too bad he had to perform so badly at the debate to get to this point (instead of graciously acknowledging it earlier and by himself) but his body language in the past few months indicated that he should become more of a consultant/advisor once his term ends
Biden's too old to be a baby boomer. But until very recently, he acted like one.
I don't think they're saying Biden IS a baby boomer. They were saying that it's all a metaphor for the boomers' general approach to their lives.
