My politics line up way more with Bernie than Biden but they are both too old IMO, do we want an 82 year old president by the end of one term? Bloomberg would be 82 as well. Really?

It just seems like a risk to me. Warren would be, at the end of 2 terms, about the age those 3 are right now.

If I were to vote in a presidential
primary today, I would vote for: Joe Biden
