      Libs in 2016: I love Bernie, it’s just too bad about his age

      Libs in 2020: Biden has a stutter. Don’t be ageist.

      Libs in 2024: We had no idea!

        And remember how they made a big deal about Bernie’s age in 2020? They asked for medical records, and even after getting letters from two or three doctors, that wasn’t enough. It was like the birthers all over again: when they got what they asked for, they moved the goal posts and wanted the long-form documents.

        Meanwhile, not a peep about Biden, who is Bernie’s junior by fourteen fucking months, as if that made all the difference.

        And then, four years later, it wasn’t an issue anymore. Just run the guy again.

        On top of that, the DNC would condescend to anyone left of center about electability.
