Democratic Primaries
Showing Original Post only (View all)Let me tell you my experience with older voters [View all]
I live in Traverse city Michigan, my wife and I live with my mother who is 66 years old. It's her property and we take care of her and my grandmother who is still alive at 80. I take them to the local salon once a week so they can get their hair done. I get a window into what is on the minds of the ladies there who are all mostly around 65-80. They also hosts spades card game they play once a week. Anyway, They're both very social still.
They were so exited to vote for Biden here, I know they would risk their lives or walk through glass, as they say... to be able to vote. It's more than a pro Biden vote, it's also an anti Bernie vote. The hate they feel for him is visceral and it is a big motivator to vote. I don't think Bernie supporter have any idea that there is a large amount of older folks who feel this way. I'm sure there is a lot of Ohio voters disappointed they can't vote tomorrow. I remember how exited and ramped up my mom and her friends were here in MI.

primary today, I would vote for: Joe Biden
