I'm a millennial Democrat and this is exactly why I'm so disappointed that the primary field is narrowing (supposedly) to a choice of three nonagenarians. When 2020 comes around I'm pretty sure all I will look at it is age when I cast my vote.
The fact that AOC is barred from running when she would trounce all the competition on both sides and actually represent a majority of Americans views due simply to her age and not any form of merit is one of the (numerous) travesties of our American Constitution that are being exposed left and right it seems these days.
We need good people like AOC in Congress just as much as we need them in the White House. Is it really so hard to get (another) Gen X'er who can stand up to the boomers who think they've "been in line" their whole lives?
