I think that to be eligible to be president, your age as of the last day of your next term should be less than the life expectancy of your constituents. You want to serve longer, you better make sure your constituents live longer.

As far as Biden stepping aside, I don't think it's a bad idea at all. Find a 40- to 50-year-old combat veteran who grew up with wind turbines and solar panels on her family farm, and has been living and working in a blue state for the past 5+ years. Have her run on a platform of "Ok, Boomer".

Juxtapose a picture of her running with a pack and rifle against a doctor looking at X-rays of a foot with a magnifying glass. Photos of her family's wind farm against headlines of Trump denouncing wind turbines. Her smiling at an award or promotion ceremony against Trump's scowling mugshot.

Because you don't like a reasonable opinion?

If the American public is so shallow that they would vote in Trump because of Joe’s senility, then yes, we need to replace him while there still might be time. The key here is that we have to do what is necessary to keep Trump out of office. Because if Trump is voted in there won’t be much left in 4 years to save.

It’s a bitter pill to swallow and the people downvoting you are having trouble swallowing it. And a good portion of your downvotes are probably russian sourced.

I get it... reality hurts.

That's exactly it. There are too many low-information voters in the States that will make their decision based on Biden's age and public performance. We need someone else if we want any chance at stemming the rising tide of fascism. That should be priority no. 1 for the DNC.
