No, there's a lot of us that don't want to surrender the incumbent advantage for the very common backlash-against-the-last-party phenomenon we've seen many times in the past decades.

We're just not as loud as everyone else, and our position makes terrible clickbait.

I don’t know, did you see the same debate i saw? But it’s ok, it will be fine. Kamala Harris will just take over when the time comes.

I did. I saw a tired old man and a used car salesman. More importantly though, is I don't think almost everyone gives two shits about debates or polls. They know these two guys, know them well. What they offer is clear.

Additionally, I don't think a President has to be spry. They just need to be good at delegation, that is by far the most important skill. If you think about monarchy, the king did not need to run everything. Simply assign the tasks to people who did know all the details. Generals run the army. Finance ministers run economy. Diplomats run diplomacy. Etc.
