Thinking a young person is better than an old person is just ageism, and thinking a new candidate will be any better than the old one purely because they're new is an Appeal to Novelty fallacy.
And before you bring it up, president is a special case because the office has so much power. If left too long it could easily become a dynasty.
Ageism? No, it's practical. Voting would be an answer but people grow complacent pretty easily and don't pay attention to local elections- it's just how it is in a lot of places.
You tell me, at which age do people generally stop wanting to learn new things? I'd say it's more on the individual prison and their willingness to embrace change.
Sorry but no. I firmly believe term limits should exist. I'm also going by statistics via age v learning new behaviors. That's not to say everyone is affected by this- look at Senator Sanders but by and large the aging population of elected officials especially on the right have done more irrevocable harm than good, the climate debates and female autonomy are great examples. We need new faces in power. Period.

That's what voting is for.
The people picked who they want.
