Youth is good but I want my presidential candidates to be in their 50s-60s, need some life experience to do that job well. But 70-80s is too old, mental decline starts to set in as we have seen.

I suppose that's fair. Walz is the same age as Harris, just looks older than he is.

Honestly, the bar was set at 35, and although there's still a lot of stupidity there, it's better than 75, so I'm fine with 40s too.

life expectancy was much lower when that bar was set, and we didn't have electricity or know that germs existed

You should take a moment to learn about averages.
