Come on Pat. It is not age bashing. I am 85, and well aware that with few exceptions old dogs don't learn new tricks, not because they can't, but because they won't. Nancy, Chuck are stuck in their paradigm., it is how they grew up, it is how they attained wealth and power, and it what they believe in and what they will guard.

Voltaire said, "A man can no more change his charcter than a leopard change his spots".
Biden learned politics, being mentored by southern racists, and learning comity, bipartisanship, compromise and he carried those lessons into the presidency, and the result is Merrick Garland, and failures.
The only reason the CHIPS and Science act, the American Rescue Plan, and the Inflation Reduction Act passed is because they had serious "easter eggs" for corporations, financial institutions and thus the billionaire class.
Considering that I am 85 and older than you. I don't think that people my age should be in that kind of position. Society changes, the mentality changes, and try as we might we don't keep up, and there really is such a thing as old age senility.
As far as focusing on the person, frankly the person in question (President Joseph R Biden) is evidencing a loss of mental faculties, evident in the interviews, evident in the debate.
The person in question had problems because of conditions caused by age.
While typing this I had to stop and search my mind for the word "debate"
The first thing to go with Alzheimers is nouns, long term memory stays pretty much intact, but short term memory.. not so much.
Except for accidents and rare genetic incidents, Alzheimers and dementia are AGEIST diseases.
Don't personalize the impersonal Pat, it doesn't look good, and it betrays you.

IT IS AGE BASHING when it is aimed at the age, and not the entrenched person.
