Are you suggesting Trump is insane?

AFAIC since Obama all presidential elections have come down to the lesser of two evils. Biden ain't all that good but at least he's not insane.

It was a hypothetical question. And while I'm no Trump supporter, he's no more fascist than Biden.

(It's all academic, of course, since I'm not allowed to vote in US elections.)

@Spooky Which 'spry 100 year old', particularly? Explain to me why a mentally alert, politically savvy, commited-to-democracy 100 year old wouldn't be a better choice than a fumbling, bumbling, fascist 77 year old.

C'mon, Spooky, you're better than a strawman spreader. I'd bet most of us (me included) would like a younger dem candidate. We're at the point here where it just needs to be Not chump, and Biden wouldn't be doing it, if it wasn't for the chump..

A dry dog turd would get my vote over that pile of garbage Trump

So a spry 100 year old running against Trump would get your vote?

Did I say they should? No. What I said is that age alone should not be a disqualification.

If you say so. Trump shouldn’t be president and neither should that vegetable.

Right - an average. So on average, people aged 75+ are not running your country. And the lower age requirement is just as idiotic as an upper limit would be.

I presented an average. Why would I expect a nescient such as you to catch that? If you are 70+, you should be disqualified from becoming President. There's already a lower requirement of 35, which could filter out qualified candidates, why not an upper limit?

You said earlier that people 75+ shouldn’t be running countries. Now, you’ve just stated that they aren’t. Make up your tiny mind.

The average age of Members of the House at the beginning of the 117th Congress was 58.4 years; of Senators, 64.3 years.

Hyperbole. Still, I will die on the hill that they shouldn't exclusively be running this country.

‘Basically considered unemployable’, you said. Seems like someone’s employing them.

What percentage of millennials are working? Today, a large chunk of the workforce is occupied by Baby Boomers (19%), Generation X (35.5%), and Millennials (39.4%). With over 10,000 Baby Boomers per day reaching the age of 65, in 2030, we'll see Generation Z constitute about 30% of the workforce.

Around one in four. Yeah, that's not a majority. I do use google. And while no, anecdotal evidence isn't "Data", it is relevant. My point remains.

Your personal experiences don't actually count as data.
