The biggest loser in our geriatric election: Us

For weeks, Biden supporters have feared that their champion would come undone after being forced out of Joe’s Wilmington basement for a solid hour and a half. Trump supporters, anxious as polling much less variable than against a candidate as loathed as Hillary Clinton, wondered how their incumbent president would defend his record.

The biggest loser of the debate between the 74-year-old President Trump and the nearly 78-year-old Joe Biden (who if elected, would enter office older than Ronald Reagan was on his last day in office), was not a party or a politician. It was us, a nation overwhelmingly composed of non-Boomers realizing an unencumbered system placed us at the crossroad not just of a plutocracy but of a geriatric dichotomy.
