To be fair, no body understands ‘economics’ and age has not stopped Putin, Xi, Trump or a whole list of evil people get and keep power so why say Bernie is too old?
I could see a role for ‘elder statesmen and women’ as a chamber of cousellors i.e. they offer advice when asked but are not ‘hands-on’. Instead, they step down at a retirement age (about 60 years old say) and their juniors step up. That way you get the best from all generations and no generation selfishly dominates decision-making.

Most of the American politicians are too old. You don’t have limits. Look at the Pelosi. She should step down.

Could be a viable option. I don’t understand how in the USA politicians can work till they die.
