I don't understand how they can possibly put Biden forward again. He's well past losing his marbles. Way too old to run imo. It's disgraceful.
Isn't Trump in the same boat? Trump's 77, Biden's 81. One may easily argue they're both much too old to be running.
Neither of them represents an acceptable choice to lead a party. That's kind of my point.
If these are the only two viable candidates then something is completely broken and needs to change.
That's what we get with a two party system. The parties don't really need to compete through better policy, simply spending more and being marginally less bad in the eyes of the voters on your side of the line is enough of a strategy for them.
If 3rd parties were viable, democrats would actually have to compete in the ways that matter, and we wouldn't see shitty politicians like Biden as much.
But we're not going to get that until election reform (STAR & Approval voting, ban on money in politics, etc) happens.

Age limits are something we should talk about in general, but using that as the reason to discount only one candidate is asinine
