The last words my WWII veteran grandfather told me before he passed away were, "it's ok to elect a fascist as long as the other guy is slightly older." (lemmy.world)

Jimmy Carter has retired from political life. Thus he is not relevant

Well duh, so why was is relevant for the the above commenter to bring up? That's my point.

Sometimes I forget that they banned irony on the internet.

What's ironic about your comment?

Irony the expression of one's meaning by using language that normally signifies the opposite, typically for humorous or emphatic effect

Are you saying it ISNT obvious that Jimmy Carter is out of the running?

The irony is that, opposed to my suggestion that Jimmy Carter would be a good choice, he is an obviously poor choice for a candidate because he's in hospice. Ideally, the effect would be to likewise draw out the point that, apart from age alone, the problem with Biden is his overall condition and ability to campaign effectively.
