Biden was old in 2020, he was old in 2016 too. So was Trump.
Nominating younger options would be great… Except we have 2 parties who have special rights and few restrictions - they can straight up throw out nominations if they want, and they’ve convinced the public at large that 3rd parties aren’t an option
We need ranked choice voting desperately.
Personally, I also think all votes should be write-in. If you don’t know which office they’re running for and can’t spell your candidates name correctly, you haven’t met a very low bar of education on the topic. Maybe your vote shouldn’t count
Needing to spell your candidate’s name wouldn’t be good for people with complex names. Suppose Vivek Ramaswamy is running against Bill Smith. Putting politics aside (since I don’t agree with Vivek’s politics, but this could just as easily be a Democrat with a long name), should he get less votes simply because his name is harder to spell correctly?
