I don't think we're going to agree on this. I don't give a fuck if it hurts some old people's feelings. If you're over 65 you likely don't have the mental capacity to run a country and make decisions daily that affect the lives of everyone in said country. It flat out should not be a possibility for someone to make policy when they won't even be alive to see the consequences in 5-10 years. Even Bernie should not still be in congress, the man should be enjoying his retirement.

Politicans still hold millions of lives in their hands. Sure, if they kick the bucket there can always be a replacement before any damage is done but they need to be cognizant enough to make decisions. They can't be so old that they aren't able to keep up and adapt to new things.

How would it be age discrimination? There are plenty of fields where you are no longer able to work at a certain age such as being a pilot or air traffic control. If we can't trust a 70 year old pilot to fly a couple hundred people then why the hell can we trust a 70 year old politican to steer the entire country with policy?

I mean, it's not like there's any other viable candidate. I don't like the two party system but it's what we have and by voting any other way than Harris, it gives advantage to Trump.
