I'm at a loss. The claim is clearly "Former U.S. Vice President Joe Biden once said he had "no empathy" for the plight of younger people." If you read that broadly, like in the sense that any normal person would read it the first time they come across it, it reads as if Biden made some sort of blanket statement applying to all plights of all younger people, period. Like he's basically admitting to be a sociopath against younger people. I mean... that's clearly not what he said or meant.

That's not the claim. That's an editorialized take about the claim, altered from the original and stated just-so (so it that contains a weakpoint, which you are now litigating—because that's what the weakpoint was crafted to enable); the "plight of younger people" comes from the editorial purporting to debunk it, not the source tweet.
The closest thing to a claim in the source tweet is that the original words were spoken and the person who said it is the one who was speaking.
