This concern about Biden's age is largely disingenuous, no? We don't bar people with brainworms like Marjorie Taylor Greene, or people without hearts like Kevin McCarthy, or people without souls like Ted Cruz, from holding office.

@sgillies I feel like a lot of people are responding to gerontocracy (bad but easily solvable) with ageism (bad and hard to root out) and it’s a pity.

@vruba it is a pity. I've been guilty of ageism, for sure. Not recently, though.

@vruba Still, I was only partially joking in my toot. For every older person who wouldn't crush it on Jeopardy, there is at least one younger person without the character or sense to hold a public office.
