75% reactionaries. Yeah, let’s throw out all our most experienced, knowledgeable people.
It seems cool at first but think it through. It’s a dumb idea to combat a problem that really isn’t that big of a problem. For every zombie like Diane Feinstein, there’s a Bernie Sanders that’s sharper and more energetic than some 20 something’s I know.
We have a perfectly good mechanism to get zombies out of office without throwing out the baby with the bath water, and it’s called voting.
I feel confident Bernie would be happy to step down if it meant the heavily-entrenched geriatrics like McConnell and Feinstein did as well. This isn’t a matter of individual liberties, so we don’t have to hold the standards to minimizing any potential harm; we can instead focus on decisions which affect the greatest good. I strongly disagree with your opinion “for every zombie like Diane Feinstein, there’s a Bernie Sanders that’s sharper and more energetic than some 20 something’s I know” and instead think it’s more like there are 10 geriatric zombies doing harm to the country and system for every 1 decent Bernie Sanders-type.
Not sure the olds bags are doing harm, at least not any more than any other politician. Has nothing to do with their age.
If they suck, they can be voted out.
75% percent tired of old people having all the voting power and rejecting all ideas for change because it’s going to make their last 10 years of their old ass life uncomfortable.
I totally agree with you and feel the same way about term limits.
