there's nothing wrong with a younger candidate, but the ones that we currently have poised for the ballot miss the mark on a lot of crucial domestic and foreign policy points. they're either blank canvasses that have crowdsourced their rhetoric without a real platform, or woefully misled when it comes to addressing the stranglehold that corporate america has on our legislature.
i mean i love bernie and i like biden and warren but you gotta retire at some point. i hate that all these people are career politicians. but of course term limits for congress will never be passed.
absent of anything to suggest a more positive turnaround for some of these candidates, it's a pretty good idea to scrutinize their voting record more than their contemporary platform. you'd be surprised, disappointed even, at the things you find.
Pete is really nice at platitudes, but every time he opens his mouth and reveals an actual position or policy, I tend to get disappointed.

(https://thehill.com/homenews/campaign/436162-medicare-for-all-where-2020-dems-stand) On healthcare, Pete endourced what he calls "Medicare for all WHO WANT IT" (aka not single payer) but he wants to have his cake and eat it too. See this tweet where he asks "When/where have you ever heard me oppose Medicare for All?" (https://twitter.com/PeteButtigieg/status/964863858849574913).
The MSM likes Pete cause he he has a good backstory and does a good talk and you can project whatever you want onto him. He has no track record to back himself up, so he can't be held to anything. He's gonna be screwed in the debates where he has to come down hard on actual positions and policies.
