      You'd think that young voters would be swayed by style and personality and older voters would be the ones all about policies and plans. It's the exact opposite. Young voters want to see the plans & policies and will vote based on that.

      I spent yesterday speaking to older voters about Joe Biden. In one new poll Biden leads older voters 55% to 7% against Bernie. When I ask older voters what policies and plans they love from Biden, they openly admit it's not about that for them. They don't even know his plans.

          I said this before. It was true for me yesterday when I spoke to Biden supporters. When I speak to Biden's supporters about what they love about him - even when I tell them he was the modern architect of mass incarceration... They mention Obama in the first 2-3 sentences.

          I’m an “older voter”. It’s @JoeBiden’s record of neoliberal racist, misogynistic policies, behaviors and voting record that will prevent me from supporting his campaign or voting for him. #MassIncarceration #AnitaHill #MeToo #PermanentWar #Privatization #UnionBusting #NoJoe

          It’s no wonder Wall Street wants @JoeBiden to win. And as a result, it is no wonder the mainstream media is saying he’s ahead in all the polls. The DNC has this rigged. Put in so many candidates that the #SuperDelegates pick Joe in round 2. 🤑

          When polled #1 thing Biden voters care about is Medicare for All, a policy Biden DOESN'T support. Top 5 are all things Biden is against, Top 5 Concerns * #1 M4A = Nope * #2 Climate Change = "Middle road" * #3 Abortion Rights * #4 is POC * #5 is a woman http://filesforprogress.org/memos/dfp_presidential_primary_memo.pdf …

          Do older supporters want to lose Social Security and Medicare? Biden previously has said he would cut. Bernie wants to expand these programs. Please get more information!

          "Whoever allows me to turn a blind eye to everything wrong with America" is the mantra of Biden supporters.

          It is interesting to see the script flipped on "style vs. substance". But, as one of those older "policies and plans" voters I ask now, as I did in 2016...what is Bernie's *plan* to get his policies passed into laws? If I'm to give him another look, he must have a good answer.

          Absolutely zero Democratic plans, left or center, are going to become law as long as the US Senate continues to exist in its current form. At the very least Bernie understands the need to build a mass working class movement and call out powerful interests.

          He has no plans. Look at his website. It's plain and generic. Beto might have more policy positions...

          I ask his supporters to name a plank in his platform. Then I ask them to send me a link to his platform. Crickets. They've never even looked at his website.
