I don’t ever want to hear you guys bitch about old people in politics while you continue to invoke dinosaur Sanders. We gave great young people on the left ffs. Fuck Sanders, he’s ineffectual. I want a leader who can get things done, not another Carter who is right but can’t get the support of even his own party
Edit: so you guys don’t want young leaders? The down votes really show that you guys disagree that the old need to make room for the young. So don’t wonder why nothing changes
Well, first off this was 8 years ago. So you aren’t comparing apples to apples. And secondly, Bernie inspired so many young voters. Trump only inspired hate from old dumb people.
I always argue age (on the higher end) isn’t necessarily the end all be all, there are some extremely sharp older folks out there who have good valuable insights, desires, etc and therefore shouldn’t have an age cap per-say.
What we should have is mental ability checks because it happens way too often that someone is clearly in cognitive decline yet they’re still allowed to hold their seat.
It’s an extremely simplistic to just say old = bad.

Bernie is a Senator. He’s not blocking anyone from getting elected unless they’re literally in Vermont running for Senate once every 6 years.
He does a hell of a lot of lifting and has brought more light to the left side of politics than anyone else in that last 15 years.
You don’t know what you are saying
No, YOU don’t like I’m saying. There’s a difference, unless you think I’m not allowed to have a dissenting opinion
