If your parents are Democrats...

[nessness]

Who are they voting for?

Just curious where the older generation is at right now - feel free to respond for other older adults in your life too.

[centralsquare]

My folks—in OKLAHOMA—both love Warren. I’m delighted.

[nessness]

My mom is leaning toward Harris, though she strongly disagrees with her position on Israel. She likes Warren's policies but thinks her decision to get a DNA test was unforgivably dumb.

My uncle was a huge Bernie fan in 2016 and will probably vote for him again.

[Deleted]

My mom is undecided and waiting to hear more (she follows but not as obsessively as me). But I know she does NOT want Bernie or Biden. She thinks they’re both too old and we need someone younger. I think she could go for Warren despite her age - Warren is also newer on the political scene and had a more youthful energy than Biden and Bernie.

[ESF]

I haven't talked to them about the debates yet. As of a few weeks ago, their early favorites were Harris, Booker, and Buttigieg.

They live in Massachusetts and really like Warren as a senator but think she's not the right person to go against Trump.

They hate Bernie and think Biden is too old.

My parents basically have the most normal political views of any retired white rural people I've ever met.

[ESF]

I'm so reassured by the responses in this thread!!!

[abs]

My mom is all in for Warren right now.

I don’t talk to my dad so no idea there.

[picksthemusic]

My dad has no clue yet, though the last time I talked to him about it was pre-debates, so I'm sure he's at least narrowed it down some since then. My step-mom loves Mayor Pete.

My mom isn't sure yet either, but I'll ask today and get a feel.

My mom likes Biden. I'm trying to get her on the Warren or Harris track.
    
Not sure about my dad. I need to ask. But he's usually negative overall about the election, but will vote D.  UPDATE: I asked him, he said Warren and Harris.   Yay!

Step-mom likes Warren and Harris. So that's cool, but her thought process is more like Williamson. harness love. She also liked Ryan during the first debate.

Not sure about my ILs...I'm thinking MIL is for Warren or Harris. FIL no idea.

[mrsukyankee]

I have four Democrat parents (2 step-parents) and all of them are holding off discussing their choices until the field narrows a bit and they learn more. They all have watched the debates though and do their research/ask questions to stay informed. They will vote for ANYONE who is the Democratic candidate in the Presidential election as they despise Trump.

[CallingAllAngels]

My mom told me last night she likes Pete. She is a moderate Democrat in South Carolina whose faith is very important to her. She is Catholic but goes to a more progressive (predominately black) parish. My stepfather is from Delaware, and they loooove Biden, so I was surprised to hear she was not automatically supporting him.

[Chuppathingy]

My mom is voting for Warren.

[carmenere]

I can tell you that my Grandma is all in for Warren. I think my aunts (Boomers and Gen X) are split between Warren and Harris. They are all very progressive, though.

[seeyalater52]

My parents (both MA Dems but divorced from each other) both like Bernie last I checked, but since that makes me rage we admittedly don’t talk about it much. They both also like Warren.

[Patsy Baloney]

Whoever goes on the ticket with a D behind their name.

Mom hates Biden and Bernie. Likes Mayor Pete, Harris, Warren. I think she’s longing for the feeling she had when she voted for President Obama.

[5thofjuly]

My folks vote literally all over the map (D and R.) They will vote D in the next election (even though my mom voted for Trump, which is fucked up for all kinds of reasons.) We watched both debates. They liked Harris and Buttigieg the best.

To quote my mom, “I really wanted to like Joe Biden, but just didn’t.”

[heyjude]

Mom: passionate about any D. In fact she posts a lot of memes about this fact. 🤣

Dad: Seems to like Warren or Harris. Would vote for any D (has mentioned several times though that the country has had enough old white men 🤣)

[Saudade]

My dad said Warren

My mom isn’t a citizen

[glw]

My mom is super into Warren, but also likes Harris. I'm not sure about my stepdad.

[turnipthebeet]

My folks are on vacation and haven't watched the debates. If I had to guess, my dad would be leaning towards Biden or maybe Sanders. I figure my mom for a Warren supporter.

[joenali]

Pete!

[heat40]

My mom likes Warren for now.

[bronxgirl]

My mom likes Harris and Warren

[isabel]

I need to ask my mom about this. She asked me a few weeks ago who I liked and why. I'm curious to know if she's given it much thought.

My mom isn't really a Democrat, but she no longer considers herself Republican. She voted for Hillary in 2016 and will vote for the Dem in 2020.

[StrawberryBlondie]

My mom doesn't discuss her voting preferences with anyone. She'll discuss issues, but that's it.

I'm not sure about my dad but I'd guess Biden.

ETA: if I had to guess, I'd say my mom probably backs Klobuchar or Butteigeig.

[kadams767]

Gillibrand. We're New Yorkers, though, so I think this is just a home state thing for my mom right now.

[goldengirlz]

I’ll have to ask my ILs when we see them this weekend.

I’m pretty sure my FIL likes Hickenlooper because 1) Colorado and 2) my FIL is a Dem but not a very progressive one (and I mean that in the sense that he would be happy with the party circa the mid-90s and hasn’t met a Millennial he respects yet, including perhaps H 😬)

[eddy]

Last I checked with both of our parents it was Biden. Again this conversation was a month ago.

I wouldn’t be surprised if someone shifts at some point. But that was there baseline reaction.

Edit- also sad sack post- I would do anything to have this conversation with my mom right now. I would love to hear her thoughts. 

[yaga]

Before the debates, my parents responses were Warren (mom) and Warren or Harris (dad). I haven't gotten their updated takes. They live in PA.

My parents are 53 and 59, so not sure where on the "older generation" scale they fall for your specific question.

[scm1011]

My mom (Boston burbs) likes Warren.
My MIL & FIL (downstate NY) like Buttigieg.

My dad is a self-proclaimed Republican but does not vote, so yay?
