      Because? They dared to criticise a choice?

        Is it really a criticism though? There’s nothing of merit to it. I could see criticizing the pick based on Walz’s views (though I’d probably argue against that too; Walz has a pretty stellar record).

        He’s basically the same age as Harris, so the “old” portion of the criticism is right out the window. What we’re left with is that he’s a white man, which is always what the VP pick was going to be. The unfortunate truth in this country is that a lot of voters are not ready to support a presidential ticket with two women or people of color.

                Kamala is 4 months younger than him. Why are you not bitching about her age?

                  Probably because she wasn’t just announced. Just a hunch.

        They criticized it in a way that’s not particularly useful to the conversation

          It was the issue with Biden; it’s succinct. Responding better would be preferable.

            Biden is over 20 years older than Walz.

              Walz also isn’t the top of the ticket.

          A criticism of something and a critique imply different things; criticism can be short, like theirs was, and that is fine for online forums. You can, of course, criticise their criticism, I can can criticise that.
