Jill Stein, age 66, claims Bernie, age 74, is in a different generation.

“I’ve tried to talk with Bernie, but, you know, Bernie is — he is a team player,” she said, saying he refuses to speak to her. “I think he’s on the wrong team, perhaps because he’s been in Washington, D.C., too long, because he used to really understand independent politics and why we cannot have a viable political system unless we have independent political parties.” She concludes that it could be “a generational thing.”

...seems to be hitting that generation hard.

The obsessions about the health of the candidates, back-and-forth sniping about age, etc. It's like I'm witnessing a generation-wide existential crisis about aging.
