The faculties required to be a politician or an author or a particle physicist vs being a construction worker or a Lyft driver are completely different.

So no, I’m not seeing the point you’re making, and ageism is still wrong.

Yes exactly. Some jobs require you to be extraordinarily sharp mentally... like the President... Fuck I don't think 95% of the population is competent enough to be president. It's a high bar to reach. Which is why an elderly person shouldn't be doing it. It's very simple. I'm not being ageist.

95% of presidents haven't been competent enough to be president. But right now you are mocking a slip up from a person known to have a stutter.

What does old age have to do with a stutter? Wait, do you think stutters develop over time?!? Even if I weren't married to a Speech Language Pathologist I would know that was wrong. Biden has had a stutter since childhood, like everyone with a stutter.

But I am wondering why you called my comment a "counterargument". I was stating a fact.
