George Takei  🏳️‍🌈🖖🏽Sep 27, 2023

Whenever the media want to talk about Biden’s age, remember that I am more than six years older than that kid, and both of us could run circles around the Orange Guy.

Oh, and Biden’s never been charged with a felony, let alone 91 of them. Just saying.

@hosford42 @katzenamt @georgetakei I wouldn't, not in the primary anyway. Running the country shouldn't be a retirement gig. I know folks can still be plenty sharp even at 100, but the attitude about changing things tends to be lacking and single payer healthcare when??

@shadyspotlight @hosford42 @georgetakei yeah that is one of my major reasons for "ageism", that above all, old people (yes including politicians) strongly tend to be more concerned with being comfortable with things they know and very adverse to change. If they seem to genuinely care about the generations following them, I have no problem with the elderly.

Present company proves age doesn't *have* to mean fear of change (and of the effort it takes to learn new things).
