Age isn't the issue, cognitive capability is.

[@jensee2691]

I think it's absolutely amazing that we now think of age when in almost every craft and every period of education that the elders the ones who have gained experience and knowledge and who can pass it on and benefit the newbees that is humankinds natural way of doing things. Now those who don't have experience, don't want it are loudly complaining that age is a problem, but that is like a troubled student yelling at his teacher or troubled child thinking that his parents when they try to stop him from running across the street disobey them. It's like the child and these inexperienced, unknowledgeable people want to rule instead of learning and gaining good experience from those "elders." And it doesn't mean can't challenge the elders but really, these newbees like MTG and others really think they have it all when they haven't really studied anything.

You're right. Thank goodness Biden's cognition includes much more than "Me, me, meeeee," unlike the other guy. Even if Biden lives to be a hundred, his mind will be broader than TFG's mind was at twenty..

[@buzzfunk]

Its always something huh? And you're his doctor or? He still got shit done even with the current terrible GOP majority wanting him to pass nothing. Any success would look bad on their leader. On top, Biden is surrounded by younger people. And its not like we have to worry that Biden maybe pushed the ww3 button. Whatever people say, even if Biden is in a wheelchair - id vote for him. What is the option? Another 4 yrs of an complete incompetent human being in the white house? Its a shitty excuse.

I am 60, soon to be 61, and I am still trying to understand this fascination with old men and women running this country. There is a larger pool of people who are much younger and have just as strong ideals and qualifications. But for some reason we keep passing them up for someone in their 70's and 80s.

It happens the world over the young are never given the same respect as the older generation. Yet they are more up to speed with modern day living than their elders, their education is more condusive to jobs today. I just wish more young people would come forward and are given a chance to prove themselves the world would be a better place.

[@MicaOShea-oe7ir]

That's not true. Obama, Bush, Clinton and most of their administrations were all in their prime. It's just coincidence both candidates are old. What is wrong is assuming someone is incapable because they are old. President Biden has proven himself very capable and he puts his wealth of experience to great use. Ageism is not okay.

[@ShenandoahTim]

@@user-nd1us6ls8x Hmmm...and exactly how old is Putin???

[@ShenandoahTim]

Experience and a track record I guess... Consistency. The past two election cycles have been anomalies. I'm a centrist, i would prefer somebody to the right of Biden and the left of Trump. If you force me into a corner I'd have to pick someone for stability sake, and that would not be somebody on the left. Over time I've come to appreciate the age restrictions on the members of Congress and the presidency. If I had my druthers I would lower the age of everything else from drinking to smoking back to 18, with one glaring exception. I'd raised the age to vote back to 21. I've met too many people under 25 who have been negatively impacted by the lack of ideological diversity in their education. It's frightening to meet a college graduate in their early 20s who truly believes the world is going to end in a decade because of our mismanagement of the environment, or believes it is only fair and equitable for us to open our borders and allow the world in.

True. Aging is a natural process, not an illness, an impairment. Unless one wants to play pro ball, as with anyone at any age, barring cognitive disorders, there is little one can't do.
