    This is what I like the most about biden stepping down. Enough with the “youre old, no youre old”.

    With Kamala theyre going to have to attack her color and her sex, which is going to help divide them. It may have just saved the US from project 2025.

        It still kills the debate of who is “sleepy”, and she’s still well within retirement age in the US. 60 and 80 isnt the same as 40 and 60

        It’s old, but it’s not horribly atypically old. 10 US presidents (John Adams, Jackson, William Harrison, Buchanan, Truman, Eisenhower, Ford, Reagan, Trump, Biden) were 60 or older when they took office, although there’s a whole 88 year gap between Buchanan and Truman (meaning 60% of all presidents aged 60 or older when taking office were elected within the last 79 years/33.6% of the US presidency’s existence, and a whole 40% of presidents starting from Truman were 60 or older when they took office).
