It's undemocratic because he's 81?
How about BushII and Trump becoming president with fewer votes 3 times. There are far more undemocratic things to be concerned about than you imagining that someone doesn't have agency because they are old.
I don't anyone here is arguing that Biden is the perfect guy for the perfect moment. But it's fruitless complaining about things that are wholey routed in assumptions you are making when he is objectively the best option available by every measure (including age/health, because I don't believe for a minute that cheese burger Don's lifestyle affords him better actuarial tables than Biden at only 3.5 years older, or that if you listen to him talk you can actually believe he is cognitively ahead of Biden in anyway).
