    Is it really a criticism though? There’s nothing of merit to it. I could see criticizing the pick based on Walz’s views (though I’d probably argue against that too; Walz has a pretty stellar record).

    He’s basically the same age as Harris, so the “old” portion of the criticism is right out the window. What we’re left with is that he’s a white man, which is always what the VP pick was going to be. The unfortunate truth in this country is that a lot of voters are not ready to support a presidential ticket with two women or people of color.

      I honestly had to go look that up because I didn’t believe you at first. She looks good for 59.

        Black don’t crack, whether it’s mixed with Indian or not.

        I think she was 46 when she went to the VP office. It’s been a rough ride. But the hope of defeating the orange man is making her feel like 35 again.

        (She does look really good for 59 though.)

            Kamala is 4 months younger than him. Why are you not bitching about her age?

              Probably because she wasn’t just announced. Just a hunch.

                  Ok fine, she’s old too.
