“There is an element of, at some point, you age out,” the former president said.
Former President Barack Obama is urging the Democratic Party to invest in younger candidates if it wants to come out victorious in the 2026 midterm elections and, eventually, the 2028 presidential election.
In an interview with YouTuber Brian Tyler Cohen that was published Saturday, the 64-year-old said part of the reason his own elections were so successful was because he was young at the time.
“I’m a pretty healthy 64, feel great, but the truth is, half of the references that my daughters make about social media, TikTok and such, I don’t know who they’re talking about,” he said. “There is an element of, at some point, you age out. You’re not connected directly to the immediate struggles that folks are going through.”


Anything to deflect from corruption. Fuck Obama and his pyrrhic legacy.
:rolls eyes:
If you have major problems with Obama (i.e. outside of disagreements with individual things, but enough general disagreement that you’re all “fuck Obama”), you are part of the problem because nobody will even be good enough for you.
Anyone who was so deeply involved in the wars in orchestrating the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan should be tried as a war criminal. Bush, Cheney, Obama, Biden, Trump, they were all responsible for mass murder and should each receive whatever punishment is deemed appropriate for hundreds of thousands of murder charges.
Fascists appreciate your support.
No, they appreciate yours.
