If that's the only thing you're going to focus on, why not run Jimmy Carter? He's even older still, and also won an election before. Surely concerns about his physical inability to campaign are just ageism and laying excuses to vote fascist.
...Carter didn't win the primary...
Edit: if he had I would absolutely vote for him in this situation. If a single square if toilet paper had won the DNC primary (I'm not talking about Charmin...a single square of single-ply made from balsa-wood...dampened) I would vote for it in this situation.
I mean, yeah, but wouldn't it be better/safer to NOT run the damp single ply paper against the fascist? Shouldn't the choice be made easy?
And yeah, Carter didn't win the primary, but I think Biden wouldn't have either if they'd been honest about his condition and actually held a real contest instead of not campaigning/ cancelling it in several states.
It would be better if there were an actually good candidate. Too bad there isn't.
