@pepsicock your cult loves Putin. All that needs to be said. Absolutely pathetic and despicable.
You voted for it twice. I knew the email lady and Biden were Easily the best choices. Fail
He’s 76. He should not run again. The majority of us here should be applauding this decision, regardless of party.
Mental fitness is a legit issue. And, sure, there's a correlation between advancing chronological age and mental acuity. But there's plenty of variability. Lots of wise old folks. Lots of idiot youngsters.
Age may justify closer inspection, but not rejection.
I'd rather have Bernie, Joe or Lizzie any day than, say, Bobert. Wouldn't you?

Neither Bernie, Romney, nor Biden are too old. But MConnell and Feinstein? Absolutely. Depends on the person.
Ditto for Trump. He not too old. He's just a bad choice.
They’re both better off going home and enjoying their remaining years.

My perspective on this subject is less about downside of the natural decline in ability as we age, and more about recognizing the character of a person that has the desire to retire while mentally and physically fit enough to enjoy the winter of their lives. It's not an easy thing to take oneself out of the game, and to me that shows something more important than the ability to just hang on and win elections.
