    I think it’s the sane option when said candidate is 80 years old.

    Most people are in a care home or dead at that age.

      That’s true of both of them, thereby making your point moot.

      If you really want to change this, run in your local elections, and state elections. You can change far more at the local level than the federal, by design.

        The wish for one party to select somebody under 80 years old is not moot just because the other party is likely going to select an 80+ year old. Especially if there is a sizable voter block who are more easily swayed to vote for someone under 50.

        How does local voting make it more likely to get younger presidents? I’m not sure I understand that point.
