“But Biden’s age” is just a tidy way to say you can’t abide the possibility of a Black woman being president without having to say the bigotry part out loud.

Because I am at my most pedantic with myself:
Yes, I realize it would be more accurate to say that Harris is •first• in the line of succession. “Next” would have been a better word choice.
Friendly reminder:
It is not necessary to reply to a post to tell its author that they’re not talking about you.
@inthehands Oh I never do that
