A question for Biden supporters. [View all]

I'm getting the possibly incorrect feeling that our committed Biden supporters on DU are on the older side. I'm on all the way over to the older side so please don't interpret this as ageism. So I thought I'd ask the question in the form of a poll that will confirm or disabuse my impression.
