Joe and Bernie.. the last time the Silent Generation will run for anything



Joe and Bernie, only one will win, and the other will never run again. You will never see another Silent Generation run for the office of President.


Maybe that is why all the supporters are so passionate. And I am a true supporter of Joe. But we all know that this person we have supported will not come this way again.. Joe or Bernie..They are passing into the West.. (a take on the Trilogy)..


This is the last open campaign for both of them

If I were to vote in a presidential
primary today, I would vote for:
Joe Biden

I’m a millennial so I expect my generation will soon begin to be more prominent in society. But I appreciate all the foundations that previous generations have laid for us “young-uns” (I’m 36 lol], such as the New Deal, Great Society, the Civil Rights Act, etc.

younger boomers will be here for a while..but Gen X and Millennials.. are definitely on the rise.. and Millennials are a bigger generation..

I was having a conversation with my son Sunday, he is 32.. and he made the comment that when he came of age during the great recession, and that has impacted how he view economics. He is very much a social liberal..but fiscally much more moderate.

The time we are born into, the things that are happening around us as we come of age, really do impact how we view the world
