The person in command of the largest conventional and nuclear capable military on the planet shouldn’t be so old that they forget why they’re standing at a podium addressing the masses.
The context matters here. This isn’t like putting grandma in a home to rob her of her autonomy when she needs support, these are the people making the very policies that put people in the financial hardships that make that situation commonplace.
No one in these seats of power is suffering from ageism, it would be mad to think so.
If the aim for a minimum age is to ensure that a person has at least a certain amount of life experience to qualify for office, that is directly related to age, and so a minimum age would be an appropriate measure.
Still waiting for you to acknowledge
You’re purposely ignoring the fact that you called people out on the basis of their age, and then said “Ageism doesn’t have a damn thing to do with it.”
It’s bizarre to recognize that there should be a minimum age for the presidency while saying that its ageist to say that Biden, Trump, etc are too damn old to be president.
They are both clearly in cognitive decline, something that naturally happens with age. Neither belong anywhere near a seat of power. And I’m not suggesting some age limit to be placed on the presidency, simply that it’s clearly evident the candidates available to us are too old to be there.
Biden and Trump aren’t normal people. They’re political oligarchs, some of the wealthiest and most powerful individuals on the planet. They don’t suffer things like ageism and other biases in the same way as normal people. Their wealth and power will shield them from all of the problems they help create during the entiries of their lives and after. Their day to day lives are so wildly alienated from a normal existence in America. Pretending like they are victims of ageism is patently absurd and only aids in perpetuating a system of power that utterly disregards the needs of the common person.

I’m not talking about them, I’m talking about you.

The thread ain’t about me, it’s about the candidates. They ain’t your grandpa, they arm police officers with military equipment and authorize cruise missile attacks on civilians

So disqualify candidates on the basis of their mental acuity, not on age.
Should the minimum age to qualify for presidency be removed?

Buddy, it doesn’t work like that for them. Pretending they’re people just like you and me with similar problems and similar lives ain’t helping.
But they sure got you fooled.
