Buttigieg's age is such a ridiculous non-factor. Especially in comparison to Boomer politicians who can barely understand/keep up with the systems they're supposed to be regulating. Not to mention, a lot of people may actually feel MORE comfortable with a younger more energetic candidate as opposed to an elderly candidate (INCLUDING elderly voters, who Buttigieg polls even better with than Sanders and Warren)
The last 2 Democratic presidents were in their 40s when first elected. The youngest ever Democratic presidents (JFK, Teddy Roosevelt) were only a few years older than Buttigieg would be if he assumed office. America's Founding Fathers were all like Buttigieg's age. And there's Heads of State/Government RIGHT NOW (France, NZ, Ireland, Ukraine) who assumed their post in their late 30s.
I really hate to see this trash age argument.
