“I’m looking at all the polling, and I’m amazed that it has so little to do with reality. […] A big part of it is just pure ageism. The American people are prejudiced against old people.”

“It’s not just about which president can get through the day without tripping or stumbling over their words, which everybody is going to do, but which president is going to lead this country forward in a way that helps people solve problems and keeps American democracy intact.”

    A big part of it is just pure ageism.

    if you’re so fucking old that you can barely string a sentence together, you should not be in charge of a fucking country
    if that makes me ageist then fuck it, i don’t care
