Most also have experience and not all of us old folks are addled.
Kamala adds a younger perspective to the ticket anyway.
I am not saying old folks are addled. But they are certainly more likely to become addled in the nearer future. It is not for no reason the republicans always pick very young bitches and bastards to corrupt the Supreme Court.
Given the intrinsic advantage of the incumbent, and the fact that this is a country in which bias continue to run deep, black propaganda by the right wing has been the established dominant political force in the political landscape for 3 decades, and the Kampala’s sex and background makes her even more suspectible to the combination of bias and Black propaganda than Hilary had been, The best chance of preventing a trumpism resurgence In 2024 is for Biden to be able to run again. If a senile Biden who chooses not to run, or who is manifestly in decline and therefore unsuitable to run in 2024, realistically Kamala has little chance of Being elected. If you do not recognize this, then you do not really understand how deep Runs the problems of this Country.
So choosing a aged Biden in my opinion makes it substantially more likely the Democrats will lose the whitehouse in 2024 and trumpism will mount a resurgence.
Not everyone becomes senile...no matter how long they live.
Now say - "Okay Boomer" and we can be done.

Just hope you live long enough for people to assume you are going, or going to go, senile.

Hoping for outlier draws is not a good strategy.

All that assumes Harris isn't going to do a good job as VP. And that the GOP will put up a really good candidate for POTUS.

You’ve had senile presidents before and managed to muddle through. I wouldn’t worry too much about it.
