Dems need to be careful not to be too blatantly ageist considering a) Biden was set to be their nominee until this week and b) the American population is aging rapidly. It should be about the ability to do the job, not how many years somebody has on them.
I was talking to a guy I met at a bar recently about favorite beers and favorite foods. Then we got to talking about our college days. I told Charlie I had gotten my degree in the 1980s. The other guy said he was a member of the 1944 graduating class.
Wait, what?
Suddenly Charlie checked his watch, popped up from his seat and began hurrying toward the bar, explaining, "Happy hour ends in 10 minutes. Want another beer?" I said sure. "Two Pilsner Urquells," he told the bartender. Seconds later he's walking back to the table we were sharing. Before I could say anything else, he said, "I'm 97. I'll be 98 first week of August."
Swear to God, I thought this guy was 70-75 tops. No glasses, no hearing aid that I could tell, no cane or walker or anything else. Moved with the effortless fluidity of a 40-year-old. Obviously, he's the exception rather than the rule, but sheer numbers are no guarantee of one's mental and physical condition.
I'd rather focus on what a contemptuous, dishonest, hateful criminal Trump is.
They can see what Democrats have done to our once greatest advanced culture and country and are hesitant to bring their children into a country with their their decrepit crime filled open border policies.

Simple Simon is so simple he thinks he has a persuasive argument that every issue somehow ties back to the bad old Democrats.
As much as I dislike the current batch of Trump-poisoned Republicans, I'm not so childish as to lay the blame on them for every problem. I know social issues are usually the result of multiple factors.
