I believe that he is sincere in his statements and don't understand how he gets portrayed in such a negative light by his opponents. It's laughable that the right tries to portray him as a tyrant (same as they did for Obama, who was a reserved, cautious technocrat suited for the 1T.) But I also think it's amusing that the Internet has basically tried to transform Biden's archetype with the "Dark Brandon" meme. It's like the demand was there so the Internet just digitally mastered a Grey Champion out of available materials.
How can a gray guy be too old to be a gray champion?
Ben Franklin did it; Joe Biden can do it.
"We are at an inflection point" he says. He knows it.
I like the cusp idea better than supposing the calendar can provide exact cut-off dates. Biden is a Silent-Boomer cusper and has traits of both. He was elected to the Senate in 1972 as a spokesman for what was then (and in my mind and heart will forever remain) "the younger generation," the Boomers. It was the McGovern movement that enabled him to prevail in his senate race.
