You pointed out something I feel pretty strongly about. The age thing. It's not a damn prejudice to say that elderly people shouldn't be put in the highest positions of power. A cap at 65 to run is very reasonable.

But here is my prediction, which I would bet money on. Biden is an intentionally bad candidate because the DNC made a deal with the GOP to blow the race in return for putting anyone they want into office in 2024. That person will likely be Biden's running mate, for free exposure, but that's not a guarantee. They are intentionally putting out fake polls to show Biden as the clear winner because it will make dems feel comfortable not voting, since they think it's a done deal. Then Trump wins and the freak out begins. The 2024 candidate will begin campaigning immediately, and will 100% for sure be a non-white woman.

A non-white woman would have stood a better chance of winning than Biden in this cycle though. Contrary to the left's belief, the US isn't racist nor sexist and would happily vote for someone if they were a good candidate.

I agree with everything you wrote. But the reason they aren't running one is to allow Trump another four years before getting a no-brainer victory that won't have any real competition from the republicans. At this point, I'm sure the GOP and DNC rulers are doing backroom negotiations about who gets what, and when they get it.

I think your prediction will turn out to be spot on...

Yeah, but presumably that would be a constitutional amendment, and good luck getting that passed when it's old people that vote.
