Liberals really need to dispense with the idea that young equals good or competent. Look at the biggest lunatics in the GOP right now. Gaetz, MTG, Boebert, DeSantis... all of them are young, and all of them are batshit insane. Experience goes a long way in politics, and Biden has more experience than just about anybody. The amount he's been able to get done despite walking into the biggest dumpster fire since the end of the Bush presidency is nothing less than astounding.

Especially since all of the younger generations are waiting for the Boomers to die off, thinking that politics would magically change as soon as that happens.

No, there's plenty of younger replacements ready to spew out their batshit-crazy ideas.

Yep, all you have to do is look at the right-wing media landscape over the past 7 years to understand that it's not a generational problem.

It's no different than when progressives start going off about an imaginary AOC presidency every time she throws meat to her base on Twitter. Never mind the fact that her chances are slim to none on the national stage (and that isn't going to change anytime soon), but even if she magically beat the odds, it's not as though she'd have a blank check to write and pass legislation unilaterally, nor would it change how our government works. She likely have to content with a GOP majority in both the House and/or Senate. It would basically would amount to legislative gridlock domestically.
