DieHardBrownsFan Posted October 2, 2020 Report Share Posted October 2, 2020 Biden is not a Boomer, he is 'the silent generation'. Trump sits right at the beginning of the boomer generation. Obama was also a boomer. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MLD Woody Posted October 2, 2020 Author Report Share Posted October 2, 2020 You got me, Biden is right at the edge. I should have checked. Didn't consider either of them "silent". My bad Wording aside, point still stands. I hope our government can start getting younger soon. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WSS Hahahaha As if multiple people on this board haven't bitched about millennials before, frequently confusing them with Zoomers. Give me a damn break. I don't expect other older people to necessarily see the issue with having the two oldest candidates ever, on top of having an old senate and house. It definitely dates our ability to actually solve problems though... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Even before Donnie got bit by the corona bug- I would bet the ranch on Joe to beat him in a mile race, or even a 100 yard waddle... Don't forget there's one Supreme Court Justice (Brayer) who's 82, and RBG was 87 if you want to talk geriatrics. I know your take on Biden's mental capacity- or lack thereof- and I disagree. Sure, he's murdered a few comments- but my take on some of the stuff in the debate was more like that stuttering problem of his isn't totally cured, and never will be. BTW- "Sleepy Joe". if IRC, St. Regan used to take naps in meetings. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TexasAg1969 Posted October 4, 2020 Report Share Posted October 4, 2020 They have expanded the original baby boomer time from what it used to be. Now it goes from 1943 to 1964. I think my "baby" sister born almost 16 years after me would be shocked to learn as she approaches 56, that she is now a baby boomer. That was not the case when she was born, nor most of her 56+ years since late 1963. So back to the original, since expansion of the baby boomer years, no we are not done with baby boomers in power with the running of these two for president. There is another timeline out there that starts the boom in 1946, not 1943. https://www.kasasa.com/articles/generations/gen-x-gen-y-gen-z#:~:text=Baby Boomers%3A Baby boomers were born between 1944,40-54 years old (82 million people in U.S.) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DieHardBrownsFan Posted October 4, 2020 Report Share Posted October 4, 2020 It should be 1946 because it was the baby boom after WWII. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kind of drives home the point that the Boomers need to hang it up and let the younger generations take a crack at it, because the Boomers are pretty bad at governance.

Westside Steve Posted October 4, 2020 Report Share Posted October 4, 2020 And who gives a fuck about this non-issue?

Because Trump is a f**cking lying, amoral, bulling, hate filled asshole who is a sack of shit. I vote morality- I vote adult- ahead of any of my political leanings... Cal won't agree, but any unbiased thinking voter who could stomach the 90 minute shit show Trump put on in the first "debate" saw exactly who Donald Trump is.

It's about wanting a president and congressmen that aren't completely behind the times. That is true now and it will be true in 60 years. The elderly do not represent the country as a whole, and especially not it's future. Again, true now and true in 60 years. An older generation desperately still clutching onto Power while it had one foot in the grave is not a recipe for success. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DieHardBrownsFan Posted October 4, 2020 Report Share Posted October 4, 2020 The youngest person to assume the presidency was Theodore Roosevelt, who, at the age of 42 years, 322 days, succeeded to the office after the assassination of William McKinley. The youngest to become president by election was John F. Kennedy, who was 43 years, 236 days, at his inauguration. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
