I resent the idea of judging people by their age, whether Biden or Trump. You can reach 80 and be fine. The problems with Biden and Trump are not their age but their attitude and cognitive abilities (which correlates with age but you know what they say about correlation).
I agree with everything else.
Let's stop this fucked up ageism. It is not his age. It's his 34 (or however many) felonies.
But there's a certain point where your age does matter when you're trying to do what is said to be the most stressful job on the planet.
The stress from the job is just going to make them have those cognitive decline faster at the age that they're at.
So age does matter. Where it should not be the only marker, it should be included in the decision.
Also, there's already a limit on how old you have to be to run for president. There should be a top end as well for the same reasons you are no longer reflecting the majority of your peers at that point.
And when you consider most 80 year olds don't understand technology at all, and I haven't met any 80 year olds that were up to date, it is a big factor.
I never said age doesn't matter. All I said is that some effects that come with aging are problematic and since all people age differently, they should be judged on their own basis. We have tests for cognitive decline... no need to use stupid methods like picking an age and drawing a line.
Then how do you feel on the minimum age?
I replied to someone else about the same thing. Remove it and replace it with cognitive tests.
