WASHINGTON POST
— Why don’t voters care if a presidential candidate is old? – Helaine Olen
(DIERSEN: Who takes/took the lead in promoting age discrimination in the
organizations that you are/were a member of? I should write a book about those
in the following organizations who take/took the lead in promoting age
discrimination: Milton Township Republican Central Committee, DuPage County
Republican Central Committee, Illinois Republican Party, TAPROOT Republicans of
Illinois, Wheaton Chamber of Commerce, Illinois Center Right Coalition, and
American Association of Political Consultants Midwest Chapter.)
https://www.washingtonpost.com/opinions/2019/04/23/why-dont-voters-care-if-presidential-candidate-is-old/
(FROM THE ARTICLE: Age
discrimination is a major issue in American society. According to some reports,
a majority of people older than 50 will be involuntarily separated from their
jobs at least once. But when it comes to our presidential politics, it’s
another matter entirely. President Trump is turning 73 this spring. On the
other side of the aisle, the two leading contenders to challenge Trump are Sen.
Bernie Sanders (I-Vt.), 77, and former vice president Joe Biden, 76. The two
share little in common politically, yet, amazingly, Biden is the top No. 2
choice of Sanders supporters, and those backing Biden return the favor. When
the issues of infirmities of age are even hinted at, voters across the board
seemingly dismiss them. In a recent focus group session of swing voters put
together by pollster Engagious, not a single participant said they would vote
against a candidate because the candidate was too elderly. Other candidates
such as South Bend, Ind., Mayor Pete Buttigieg might claim that it’s time for a
“generational change” in our politics, but it appears few are heeding the
message. How could this be? How can a society that worships youth on the job
and in the culture turn into what Malcolm Harris, author of “Kids These Days,”
calls a political gerontocracy? Well, you can thank a confluence of factors,
ranging from the decades-long impact of the inordinately large baby-boomer
generation, combined with how the particular personalities of a number of older
candidates reflect what kind of older candidates we like — and which ones we
don’t.)
