      Damn, I just found out Kamala is almost 60…

      I don’t know why I thought Biden would have picked someone young enough to be president after him.

      Should have gotten one of the “kids” in their 40s.

      We need to stop running elderly people, if Biden had done two and she did two after, she’d be in her 70s too

      We’re stuck in this situation where we demand “experience” but the people holding the spots that count for “experience” are decades past retirement age.

        Almost 60 is fine. She’s still got the majority of her mental faculties that she had at her peak. Low chance of her just randomly kicking over at any given time unlike the two candidates we had in this election until yesterday.

          Almost 60 is fine.

          It is.

          But if Biden did a second term, she’d be 64.

          And 72 at the end of her two terms.

          Which is why I’m saying Biden should have picked a you Obama type who’s a decade younger for VP.

          Instead of someone who would be in their 70s if everything went to plan.
