Compared to past standards, Trump and Biden were arguably both too old to run in 2020 and had obvious signs of age-related cognitive decline. But they were regular old, not senile. Biden clearly got much worse throughout his presidency, declining to a level that was obviously too far, even for the left. Trump is not there yet, although I wouldn’t be surprised if he gets there during his presidency.
“Politics no longer make sense to me. I say Democrats should just run the candidate with the most charisma and fuck everything else.”
Personally, I think they should focus on running candidates that have the best chance of winning. Politics is a competition!
