its that our Presidential Electability Cohort is all the same cluster of white guys outside of obama. Bill Clinton? he's now 76. John Kerry? he's 78 now. Al Gore? 74. John McCain? 81. john edwards? 69. These are all at current not when they were being elected -- it's not an age thing, not directly
it only seems like we decide to run 70-80 year olds these days because for both parties presidential candidates are all selected from people who were around for at least their teens and twenties when Jim Crow was normalized, outside of Frmr. Pres. Obama.
who knows if it's intentional but it sure does say a lot.
John Wolfe Jr.? 68. still teens.
'electability' means being in one of like 5 graduating classes
