As U.S. Rep. Dean Phillips launches a Democratic primary challenge against President Biden, Black political experts warn it will be a distraction they fear could hand Donald Trump the White House for another four years.

The first thing I ever heard about Dean Phillips at all was that he was challenging our current president right here, right now, when foreign policy (Biden's wheelhouse) is crucial and the argument this dude is bringing is: Biden is old and I'm chronologically younger.
My Democratic bona fides are impeccable and I'm even younger than Dean Phillips. I don't look like someone ordered David Duchovny from Wish. I also too, have had jobs that don't have a thing to do with electoral politics--except I have twenty-five years of civil service. I sort of qualify too for running for president? (Hell naw! Let's don't be ridiculous about what it takes! You have to get set apart and be at least a little famous and capable of 1) raising money and 2) getting elected )
I like some of what Dean Phillips has done--he's not a bad guy, I just don't know what he thinks he's doing now since it isn't necessary, and I don't think there's a really great call for it. I know what Steve Schmidt thinks he's doing--making bank. He likes the sound of his own voice once he gets jumped-up enough, and here's his thing:
He thinks Biden ish but younger takes away the argument that Biden is old. Whev. I think the fun thing to fuck around with is Trump is old and out of his fucking mind. Doesn't know where he is and is legally fucked round the bend anyways. We don't need a better man to beat Trump--we just need every outlet to get more scrupulous about who Trump really is.
So, I don't care for this Dean Phillips thing. But I do have an out-sized craving for gelato.
That opinion isn't really a money-maker. But I would rather eat gelato and stand with Biden than try some other guy just because we got all wobbly about the age thing. And I say that with the likelihood of earning nothing from it at all.

Chocolate ... !
For what it's worth, Talenti is a darn good gelato and the containers are reusable around the house. Not what you want in a president, but still.
What I'm saying! The gelato is great! Also, Biden earned job security. I get that he's old. My grandfather worked in his seventies because knew how carpet-making machinery was supposed to work better than anyone else and sometimes experience counts for a lot. The man did all the newspaper puzzles and beat whippersnappers at cardgames. Even in the senior home.
