A black man headed the ticket in 2008 and 2012. A woman headed the ticket in 2016. Should older Americans at some arbitrary age be dismissed as second class-citizens and summarily put out to pasture? I think not, since a far higher percentage of us show up to vote come election day. Being engaged is terrific. Being excluded is not.

And yes, the thing...

That and we're also back to the touchy stuff from early in the campaign. The producers on these shows have got nothing.

A President who looks like us. Forgive us for being a bit sad that America doesn’t seem ready to elect a woman. Yesterday was a tough day for a lot of us.

I supported Kamala first as well, then was strongly Warren. I’ll happily vote for the nominee... but yesterday was sad, and not just for me. Warren would have been an amazing nominee, and it’s sad she didn’t get traction with all she brings to the table.

If outlets like MSNBC didn't push so aggressively to winnow the field before most people even get the chance to vote. All day every day, all they did was talk about how there were "only two lanes out of New Hampshire" and how South Carolina was "do or die for Biden". If they would just let people vote and not give the first few primaries so much more attention than they deserve and yap all day about momentum and who overperformed and underperformed and whether each candidate has a path going forward, we'd still have more choices who aren't white males over 70.
