I don't think there should be age limits. There should be term limits. I know the disaster of politics the last 10 years has been white men over 60, but there is something to be said for wisdom and you can't not have representation for what's basically the biggest voting block now.

Voters need to use their better judgment and not vote people who are mentally compromised. Bernie Sanders is just fine mentally.

The age of retirement in most countries is around 67 and there's a reason for that. 60 is relatively old.

The standard for US presendency keeps dropping and one wonders why

The retirement age is irrelevant because nobody can.retire.

As I stated, 60 isn't old and if you are starting your first term at that age it isn't a big.deal.

Starting.your first term pushing 70 is a different Convo.

JD Vance is young but if he becomes president it would be a disaster

I do think if Biden ran in 2008 and won with Obama as vice president then Obama gets elected in 2016 instead the world would be in a different place than it is now the trump timeline would be averted because he would be too old in 2024.
Which is why Obama needed to put in protective measures for the least protected class/race of people in this nation.

Barry I was arrogant to think America wasn't racist because they voted for his White half. That laughing at Trump at his events and humiliating a white man....oh he thought shyt was sweet lol.

And Biden also didn't use any favors too.

We are cooked as a black populace in this nation.

It takes time to build a resume that.you can.lead at scale and typically mid to late 50s is when one aquires that.

The issue is these eternal.positions or people being 70 and going for a non consecutive term.

At the end of the day, it's on voters. Nobody is forcing primary voters to support old candidates :yeshrug:
You know it’s not that simple or there wouldn’t be so much money spent on politics. You learn that in freshman year political science classes about how voters aren’t not hyper focused and don’t pay attention because they’re living life. That’s why voters tend to skew older and every time we get a younger candidate it’s because they have an elite youth outreach platform that can get more open minded voters to pay attention. Every race where a younger person has been elected has involved and over performance of younger voters.

I agree. Progressive term limits. 2 terms and you're out. You can run for something else, but lifetime senators, congressman, judges... that shyt has to go.

I actually think terms should be 5 years. Too many are running for reelection halfway through their term.

Yeah maybe a 2-3 term.limit varying by role/area but being so and so for life doesn't work outside of authoritarian regimes lol

And says a lot we dont groom the next gen to carry on the mission

People voted for Trump off of vibes. And the fact that he’d harm people that they don’t like. Trump was essentially an anomaly. Biden was voted in simply because he was the best the Democrats had to offer and people voted for him more or less to vote out Trump.

Yeah, the counter I fear is too many people without experience are trying to jump the line. Just because someone is young doesn't mean they are gonna be of sound mind either. JD Vance is a whore for the tech industry for instance.

The whole institution needs a rebuild.

The eligibility age for presidency should be capped at 60 years old

You shouldn’t be allowed to run after that

Vibes?
He was re-elected even after being impeached twice in his disastrous first term.

They lie when they claim he was elected for his business acumen.
He was brought back to enforce a US version of apartheid.

Got it the other way around. Biden should have been the nominee in 2016. He would have destroyed Trump.
No even then he was old as fukk

What I’m saying is that Trump only arrived in 2016 because Obama appeared in 2008 if Obama arrived at a later date there would be no Trump fukkery
