“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.”

    We should switch to six year terms with a confidence vote at 3 years. Dont pass the confidence vote? You dont get to run for a second term.

    Oh and the confidence vote has to be raw numbers no electoral fuckery or congressional approval.

      I mean, the midterms are already a vote of confidence.

      If you changed it to be a single six year term, then maybe that would work, but we already have that for senators and they suck shit.
