Not sure why people keep conflating age with capability/morality, they’re definately seperate things.

Because while they may be different things, but they’re absolutely not separate things given how age and cognitive decline are correlated. Because for every Bernie sanders you have multiple Feinsteins or Grangers that are at best not there or at worst hindering processes, holding up committee votes or taking up committee seats that could be used by someone who actually wants to improve things instead of making the line go up.

Bernie is an exception who proves the rule, unfortunately.
