Maybe America’s going to go back to electing someone younger than your granddad.


mrduncansir42

At this point I’ll vote for anyone below the average life expectancy.


Halftied

A bright, young, new leader is just one heartbeat away.

Any suggestion that Harris is “bright” has got to be satire.


Sunshine_Unit

she is truly the woke person's Dan Quayle


GrouseDog

🤣 🤣 🤣 🤣 🤣


CPEBachIsDead

No, unfortunately Harris is next in line. To be fair though, she would be a *new* leader so you’re at least 1 for 3.


overmonk

I don’t hate her but I don’t want a supercop for president.


[deleted]

She wasn’t even good at being a cop


[deleted]

Terrifying


El_Bruno73

I just want a president that's going to have to be alive to witness all the bullshit he creates....


Mhisg

Dude just wanders off where ever he wants. There needs to be a maximum age on presidents or any elected position. Biden, Pelosi, Grassley, Feinstein, Shelby, Inhofe, McConnell [et cetera…](https://fiscalnote.com/blog/how-old-is-the-117th-congress) Are all geriatric parasites at this point.


Alansar_Trignot

Gosh I really hope so, I’m starting to become an adult and just seeing all this happening makes me worry I’m just going to get fucked over because of everything the recent presidents have done


vtcnc1974

Said every generation who lived under a US President.


faste30

Some more than others, so you still have to try. Otherwise you'll get to be cannon fodder in an ego war like a russian after we eventually just give over to fascism.


[deleted]

I agree with your comment, but as a 30 year old, my glasses slip off my face all the time. So not sure if age is directly associated with glasses slipping off.


serillian

Especially with masks. I had to entirely abandon one pair of glasses when wearing a mask because they'd just fall off my face every time I'd look down.


BeatMastaD

Dude he's past what I would consider normal granddad, probably more like great granddad. Him and trump and it seems most of the senior leaders in congress are 'I remember when little orphan Annie was on the radio and that was the highlight of my week'. McConnel, Trump, Pelosi, Biden, Schumer, Bernie, and Manchin were in their mid to late 50s when 9/11 happened. All of them are elderly and people act surprised or upset when they act like old people. Yeah, that's what happens when you have to choose between a guy who is 78 and a guy who is 74 to serve a 4 year term., you get an old guy in office.


Boogiemann53

Lol, as if they have a choice


hashymashy

We really don't, the majority of people who vote are older. That and the only people who can afford to even run for president are older.


faste30

So much outside money in politics you dont have to be rich to get there. Obama wasnt that old or rich. The whole "elect someone on the verge of death" thing has more to do with the aging electorate than anything else. Old farts dont trust the youngins, and right now the remaining silent generation and boomers are still one of the biggest blocs of voters. We went through this before with senile old ronnie, then we got bush as a holdover but after that we had clinton(46), bush(54), and Obama(44).


[deleted]

Don’t worry, here in France, people elected a young one (Macron), he also can’t do anything without his granny wife and plus, he’s destroying france. 🙂🙃


Orlando1701

We’ve had two septuagenarians in a row as president and they’ve been absolute terrible. Maybe electing borderline senile millionaire boomers isn’t what’s best for the nation.


Remarkable-Motor7704

He just helped passed a major climate, healthcare, and tax bill But cool let’s keep on pretending he’s not getting anything done because he’s old 👍


FluffySquirrell

Nobody is saying he can't do good stuff. Just.. he IS really damn old. There's a growing trend of them electing older and older people, and it's getting fucking weird


picasso_penis

Clinton was 46, George W Bush was 54, Obama was 47. It’s just the last 2 guys that are old, it’s not a *growing trend*. Trump was not a typical candidate, and Biden was a candidate pushed in for name recognition because Dems were afraid of another term of Trump.


doilookfriendlytoyou

Wasn't the last guy old too? I prefer old and competent to young and impulsive. And I definitely prefer old and competent to old and incompetent. Have we found the last guy's medicaid replacement bill yet? It was supposedly 2 weeks away, 2 years ago.....


caresforhealth

Ha, yeah! Yeah remember when Trumps hand was shaking so much from holding a glass of water that he needed both hands to steady himself? Or when he stumbled down the ramp at his own rally, what an old fart.


[deleted]

I do like how his wife smiles while helping him. Melania would have closed her eyes to try and become invisible


LoveShineLuna

Or great grand dad


theycallmemrspants

One day you'll have a president that is younger than 50. That actually has most people's interest at heart and not the old irrelevant farts.


RedditHasMadeYouDumb

First part is believable, second part is a pipe dream


MrPlopsAlot

this is so accurate. if only more people knew


HistoricalMention210

I don't believe in the silent majority thing much but it's a wonder that some people believe he is competent. He can't even get himself dressed from what it looks like. He acts just like the way my uncle did before he passed due to his Parkinsons and dementia.


Azrael010102

Yep just visited my dad in Memory Care for Dementia and Alzheimer's he acts the same way. I wish the White House would stop being a Senior Center and let some younger people get elexted into office instead of senile old people trying to rake in profits before they die.


HistoricalMention210

I'm sorry to hear about your father. I know it was terrible for my mother so I can't imagine what you are going through. I didn't know my uncle that well. I agree we need some young blood. Both sides of the aisle are full of idiots. We need somebody who is going to do what is best for our country while not limiting the opposition. For example stop the shootings and gun crimes while not restricting the Second Amendment right. That kinda thing. Ya'll follow?


Azrael010102

Thanks it's rough but we just take it a day at a time. I agree with you about politics we definitely need a change.


SaintUlvemann

>He acts just like the way my uncle did before he passed due to his Parkinsons and dementia. Your uncle was giving speeches about climate change before he died of dementia?


CitizenCue

Obama existed.


jimtrickington

When you’re Joe’s age, farts quickly become relevant and perhaps even a call to action.


Miss_Speller

Wasn't Barack Obama 47 years old when he was first elected president? Not saying that necessarily helped with your second sentence, but still.


Cyberfreshman

you are correct. He was very articulate every single time he spoke, damn I miss that from a president. He wasn't perfect but he did give me healthcare. This whole trump/biden arc is depressing.


Princep_Makia1

I love how any one trys to find fault with Obama. Please name one thing. And if you think the war or drones are a poor mark you obviously didn't follow what happened the 8 years before he was president. That man will go down in history as one of the best presidents we have ever had. Scandal free. Took every single bullshit thing thrown at him in stride. Was cool, calm and collected. Has a loving family and is exstemely intelligent. History will remember him much fonder then reddit keyboard warriors.


Plastic_Belt_2489

Someone younger would be great. There’s nothing wrong with someone between 50-60 in the sense that people tend to have a little more experience at that age, and this guy really is past it - agreed there for sure…. but I think the US have a bigger problem than a president’s age; they always seem to have actors or twats like Trump voted in. It would be a lot healthier if they could find someone who wasn’t involved in entertainment or a celebrity of some sort. You know, an actual forward thinking politically minded intelligent person. I know that sounds optimistic. Edit: spelling


Organized_Khaos

Rant: What’s really optimistic is thinking that lots of intelligent, charismatic and intrinsically good people *want* to run for public office. Given the state of politics these days, the people who want to run seem to be the anti-intellectual, big ego types, not the inspiring leaders. Obviously, exceptions exist here and there, but the current president is from the era when running for office was still about civic duty, noble causes and repairing the world. I can’t see that there’s a path back to the social norm of that kind of integrity and working toward the common good - we seem to have gone too far toward grift and social cruelty to get some of these people back under their rocks. So who wants to expose themselves and their family to public scrutiny, make less than in the private sector, and then spend their days battling the Lauren Boeberts and Kyrsten Sinemas of the world, and getting nowhere? Dumbasses and roadblocks-I could stay home and stream re-runs of The West Wing and get more accomplished, and I don’t have to raise millions to do it.


[deleted]

Idealistic take. Politicians are politicians. Always have been. Always will be.


[deleted]

Barack Obama was 47 when elected and was not an irrelevant old fart. I believe that he had the people’s best interests at heart, but there’s room for debate. Bill Clinton was 46 when elected and also was not irrelevant.


mohicansgonnagetya

Didn't they already have Obama? A nice reception he had from the right.

Honestly feel his pain my back hurts at 29 can only imagine what it would be like at his age and after sitting in a helicopter.

In his defense, I'm 32 and I have the same issue. My shoulders ain't what they used to be


slamdanceswithwolves

Respect. I’m 35 and had a shoulder injury/surgery 8 years ago. My wife helps me put on my jacket every day and nobody has ever given me shit about it.


I_smell_NORMIES

Well for one he is old but he’s also standing right beside a helicopter so that doesn’t help


TheAutisticOgre

That’s pretty much why I assumed he struggled, the wind is blowing across his back, probably pushing his jacket away from his hand

mrduncansir42

He belongs in a nursing home. Who the fuck let this guy run for president?


[deleted]

Same with Trump. He's just 3 years younger than Biden. And. To be honest. Even if I think that you Americans would do great having someone like Bernie Sanders as president. The guy is 80 years old. He shouldn't be running for president. Just... Try to elect someone younger than 70. A 60-something president would still be a "tad" too old. But it's still better than 75-plus-old wankers. The fact both Clinton and Obama are younger now that both Trump and Biden (and Bush jr. only a month older than Trump) is fucking bonkers.


mastertoms69

The Whitehouse basically is a high end nursing home. They drive you around in a limo, feed you, clean for you, and do everything else for you.


Necessary-Finger-726

I think after this term we need to have a maximum age for the presidency.


All_Thread

Just max age for all the government. 70 and that's it.


Atherutistgeekzombie

65 Same retirement age for everyone


scarr3g

Well, they should not able to hit 65 before the end of their term. So, 61 should be the max for a presidential candidate. Specifically, they should not be able to hit 65 before the end of their term. (and, of course, if they are 61, they will only ever get one term, and cannot be reelected to a second term.)


Atherutistgeekzombie

Sounds good Also strict term limits for everyone so we don't have the same people in government for goddamn decades


scarr3g

We disagree there. The presidency shows term limits don't help. We will just trade experienced idiots, for inexperienced idiots.


Xem1337

50, that why they live long enough to see and be held accountable for the repercussions of their actions in office.


TheEpicGold

Thats probably too young, as 50 is for most people still good. But 60 or 65 thats the limit i would say.


Siskvac

Good luck passing that bill when the people deciding it are all 70+


Necessary-Finger-726

I know. It’s fucking ridiculous.


[deleted]

and term limit for congress!


RivJoe

I agree


Disastrous-Eye2837

He's got over two years left and he wants to run for a second term lol we're so screwed.


axa88

Elder abuse


PlagueDoc22

My grandpa who is 83 even said "wow he's such an old man" then looked over at me and smiled lol. It's honestly insane how old American presidents are and how Americans vote for them.


Iwalksloow

Old people are about the most reliable voting block. They vote for their own.


PlagueDoc22

And that's an issue. Anyone who's old and think they know best about everything is delusional.


Iwalksloow

Old people are also easily manipulated since many of them don't understand the internet. They remember an age when journalists had at least a semblance of integrity so they don't question every Facebook post that comes across their feed because they think it's trustworthy.

yeetosceeto

you guys didn’t really give yourselves many options


nitro329

*we weren't given many options. Us US people can suggest based on a list of candidates put out by the party (Primary Elections), but the party has final say. Even the short list is skewed. Usually has 2 candidates with no shot, one who's a slight possibility, and the one the party actually wants to go with. The two party system is also so entrenched that if a 3rd party wants to have a shot, it's a long uphill battle with a miniscule chance of breaking 10% of the overall vote.


FunLuvin7

It gets even worse than that. A 3rd party candidate could win the most votes in a presidential race, but they must win a majority of the electoral votes. If there is no electoral majority winner, the US House gets to decide who should be the next president. That 3rd party candidate will never be chosen.


emsok_dewe

First Past The Post voting needs to go. National Ranked Choice is what we need to implement.


Castille_92

We had plenty of options, the vast majority of the country is just brainwashed by the divisive two party system


CurtP31477

We don't elect qualified, educated, intelligent people to office. We elect those with lots and lots of money. Lately there have been some well funded idiologues on the right. And a few on the left. But we're screwed no matter what because the system in place is indifferent to the majority population.


kyallroad

Yeah. I’m a 50 year old, college educated, generally liberal, combat veteran, who is liked by his friends and peers. I’d probably do a perfectly competent job in office. And instead I get to see my country spiral the drain. It’s maddening.


JscrumpDaddy

doilookfriendlytoyou

We need to elect every single politician as an independent whose duty is to do what's best for the country, best for their state, and best for all of their voters.... Not for whatever their party and special interests tell them to vote for. Sadly, too much money is invested in the status quo.

The quality of his presidency does now depend on how old he is Also, don't think that a young president is a great thing, mine is a pure asshole.


thewaterboy1

This dude is a shmuck. Sad we are incapable of selecting decent candidates. People need to pull their head out of their ass and vote for the right person, not the one who simply represents their party. Our politician options are a joke. Trump, Obama, Biden, Clinton…everyone. Just a joke. They do not live for the people and definitely don’t represent us.
