Except for Pete B, all our serious candidates are Boomers. And they are old. But Bernie at least acknowledges that this is part of the problem, even if he is part of that problem himself, and he is at least making noises about passing the baton. For someone his age Bernie's rhetoric is very forward-looking.

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