    She’s not that young, she’s been doing music for a decade and working service jobs till now. And you can understand something and still feel it is unacceptable.

      She’s 26. That’s fairly young for a voter. Not really sure what her cv has to do with being considered old.

        Doing anything for a decade is a long time. That’s 1/7th of an American’s life span and 1/8th of a developed humans life span.

        It’s what you do with your life, not how long you lived it, that matters when it comes to life experience. I’ve lived enough to draw a parallel to the following quote:

        Men like this infantilize women, so women (they believe) will not have the confidence to leave them. They want to keep their wives, if not barefoot and pregnant, at least without the skills and confidence needed to have a career that could support them well. Similarly, at work, they define their secretary’s role as part mother, part wife, so they always will be taken care of. Finally, they are so dependent upon the regard of their male colleagues, bosses, and oftentimes even their subordinates, that they will violate their own sense of ethics rather than face the possibility of not being one of “the boys.”

        Doing something for a decade IS a long time, but that isn’t your point. She has plenty experience in singing and being a pop star. She is still young. 26 is young.

        It doesn’t mean you should dismiss their opinion about everything, but don’t let perfect be the enemy of good. She seems to be fixated on perfect and missing the march toward good.

          After what she pulled today in NY, it’s clearly not about age. It’s about maturity. She’s clearly not ready to handle the spotlight and isn’t emotionally very mature.

            I would agree with you. I don’t have any knowledge about it, but you seem like you know who she is.
