That's a long time. It might be a good compromise.
I don't think that most do. I think society benefits from people with the wisdom and experience to cultivate the young. As the current generation demonstrates, the naivete and self righteousness of youth is far more damaging than any theoretical drawbacks of age. The ever-shortening life span of technology should not be applied to human beings.As a professor who has watched his expiration date come and go, I realize that new blood in any organization is very important. Not all people become living anachronisms in their profession, but I believe that most do.
If Biden doesn't run, chances are that Harris will and she has as good a chance as anybody, assuming The Donald runs too. There's very little chance that he can win, barring some catastrophic event. If it's a Republican, then it comes down to who it is and how they sell themselves. We may come down to two single-term administrations before things return to something approaching normalcy.If Biden decides not to run in 2024, what Democratic candidate would you want to see run, and which Dem candidate has the best chance of winning?
As for good candidates other than Biden and Harris, my choice at the beginning of the last cycle was Corey Booker. Everybody else seemed rather lackluster. What did you think of him?
