Just to be really explicit about what’s happening here, the cover conflates age, physical disability, and cognitive disability, and goes on to conflate disability with unfitness for office. It’s utter bullshit.

Age and physical disability are no obstacle for ability to govern. Cognitive disability, on the other hand, is a recipe for disaster, mostly through internal manipulation in a “Weekend at Bernie’s” style situation. People with power need to be cognitively fit, or vulnerable people end up hurt.

I'm 76. I take no insult, and I guess you didn't see the debate. And today, well nothing says "I'm ready for four more years" quite like telling state governors that you're not doing any events after 8pm... because you need your sleep.

The ageism and the conflation of aging and/or a disability into a definitively disqualifying attribute is enraging. That is particularly true when the opposing candidate is a felon, civilly adjudicated rapist, a liar, a fraud and is plotting to dismantle democracy. Where's the bothsidesing now?

This image is definitely ageist. One thing I do agree on is that Biden is simply unfit for office now especially after that disastrous debate he had, and his possible cognitive impairment showed. Trump might be still kicking but he's too old to run too. I think 65 or 70 should be the age limit

The Economist is somehow a more fetid rag than the Times. Grotesquely impressive!!
