Yes, Biden clearly showed signs of losing his mental acuity. I didn't really believe it until I saw it in the past couple of months. But a lot of conservatives weren't really articulating acuity, they were saying he was too old.

Age in general is a concern to me as well because these old fucks don't understand how different the world is now compared with 30-50 years ago. Wealth is also a concern to me because wealthy, privileged people haven't struggled like average Americans have and/or do. Congress needs more people like Katie Porter who understand what it's like to make difficult home finance decisions and be thankful that there's even any semblance of choice involved.

Yes, I was fully on board with Sanders in 2016 and 2020. I also liked Warren. One day in the future, maybe Buttigieg or Jeffries. It's exciting to speculate on all of the rising, younger Democratic stars.

I have my issues with Kamala Harris, but I think that she's probably the best person to run against trump in 2024 especially with only 3.5 months (which sounds like plenty of time to pick anybody to me, but I'm not qualified to assess that). She's not my favorite, but I'm more excited about her than I would've been for Biden.

My only real concerns for Harris running are what the media spoonfeeds to the gullible masses and what the October surprise will be this time. There's a part of me that wishes Biden would resign just to take away the talking point of "trump has been president and she hasn't; is she capable of running the country?" Plus we would already have had a couple months of a woman running the country before the election, so people could see that that's not an actual thing to be concerned about.
