 Here's another good article suggesting that just because Nate Silver is an idiot, the rest of us don't have to be. Biden is the most effective President in my time (except maybe for Johnson but I was a kid when he was president), so quit bashing him for age, please.

 @74aff7f9 People so often confuse publicity with achievement. Meantime, experience and expertise gets the job done, without fanfare, without need for applause. 

And goodness knows it's so nice to no longer have a POTUS who is a black hole of emotional neediness for attention and praise.

 @74aff7f9   It is also t impossible for me to get my adult children to understand just how much Joe Biden has accomplished.  It’s ASTOUNDING.  sigh.

 @74aff7f9: Biden is the most effective and positively consequential president since FDR. We need a second Biden'Harris term.

 @74aff7f9 He's the same age as Paul McCartney (still making good music) and Mick Jagger! The age thing is ridiculous. He's almost ten years younger than my father-in-law, who is still going pretty strong.
