    We need Michelle Obama to enter the contest.

    Wonder what Michelle would poll as compared to other candidates?

    I'm waiting out Iowa and NH. I think after the 1st few early states' primaries we will have a clearer picture of who is where. The polling is skewed in favor of older Americans. You cannot cold call anyone under 40. They're just going to go "do not recognize this number" Swipe.

    Meanwhile Millennials are the biggest generation now. I have a feeling we will see Sanders and Warren surge past Biden. My prediction. It's mostly guesswork. Time will tell
     
  3. Indeed, though GenZ is about to overtake them. Consider this though, the oldest of the Millennials, are about to hit 40. The nation is graying and the rate is escalating as people put off families and focus on careers more than ever before.

    I've read posts on here long enough to know that many people are holding back tears of frustration that their beloved pool of candidates is getting less "diverse"

    As for me, it doesn't matter the race of the individual. Just their ideas and whether they're good or shit.

    I don't know about people on these forums, but I do know that a lot of MSNBC and CNN commentators are upset about it, and agree it's dumb.

    Indeed. Average age in the US is 37. At least we're not on the verge of going extinct like the Japanese. But I think people having families later will be offput by advances in reproductive medicine. There was a time when a woman having a baby over the age of 40 was unheard of. Today it's a lot more common. In the future? Who knows...perhaps we can pop em out up until the day before menopause sets in :)
     
  8. Just because a baby can be had at 40 doesn't mean keeping up with them when you're 50. There's a quality element to be considered. Especially if a career is to be continued.

    I'm not supporting anyone at this time. I am an official member of the party. I have donated lots of cash to Elizabeth Warren. But, you need to understand my position. I could recognize resentment in the party, because Bernie was an independent, not a Democrat. He's great and would make a great president. Cortez is constitutionally too young but someday she might become president. Nevertheless, I'm not condoning the members of the party who object to an independent being the top Head Honcho in the Democrat Party; however, I can see there is resentment, because he is not a member.

    Yeah, I just don't get a woman having kids when she is in her forties. I know a woman who is forty-two, and just had a baby. She had her last kid twenty-one years ago.

    I will vote for Warren, if she is the candidate, but that seems less likely.
    I think Mayor Pete will fade even if he wins Iowa. He has zero support among blacks, so it's unlikely he can win SC.
    He might be someone's running mate, though.

    I've donated lots of cash to Warren, and a bunch of others like Mark Kelly in Arizona, Jon Ossof in Georgia, and others. I like Amy and Andrew too.

    Most people I know are either for Sanders or Warren. It's funny, the polls keep saying Biden has a commanding lead, but I dont know a single Biden supporter

    Ish

    It depends. Some sources say my birth year was the 1st gen z year or the last Millennial year. I feel like I have 1 foot in each demographic but probably identify for Millennial

    I support Elizabeth because she is young and sexy, just like Anne Margret.

    Do you have any sexy politicians where you live. Asmo?
     
  19. She's 70. And Ann Margaret is 78. So I guess you're basically right on some scale. But sexy? THIS?

    Compared to this?
