The obvious argument on the other end of the age spectrum is the lack of personal stake. You are making policies that will not affect your own life much at all.

Indeed, one reason it took so long to get to this point was because Biden/his party was more interested in his legacy than his efficacy.

Isn't that the opposite of not caring for what endures after one is gone.

The problem is precisely in “what” endures. But now, Biden has both soiled his legacy and destroyed the last vestiges of trust in the Democratic party

Decisions affect your children, and their children, and the future of mankind. I don't buy that argument that old people don't have skin in the game

Additionally, we all make decisions collectively in society even though many of them do not affect us personally. I'd argue old people do have interests in many decisions, but perhaps you are not aware of them
