"BERNIE'S TOO OLD!"

All these a$$holes are too old. Pelosi, Clyburn, Schumer, Biden, Trump, Azazel the demon trapped beneath the Pentagon. The baby boomers are clinging to political power and they are FURIOUS that younger people like AOC and The Squad would dare question the direction they're taking the country. They HATE those women much more than they hate Trump.

Meanwhile, Zuckerberg is 36.

These old farts have no idea how to handle him. What's going to happen?

Maybe this is the type of break the People's Party needs.

At the sake of being an ageist, there is some truth to this regarding policy, laws, etc.

Stop hating on vulnerable senior citizens.

I'm going to physically tell him he needs to sit this out if he has his cookout next year.


This is absurd.

If we ever wondered why RBG wouldn't step down, just look at her peers in the other branches.

I hate these old people.


In particular because I know their staff is doing all the damn work.

These geezers gotta go.

This is one of the biggest issues with the Dems and really American politics as a whole. The old guard consistently has stagnated things in this country.

Bernie is one of the few outliers out there.

Yeah this isn’t ageist. Ageist is when regular older people aren’t hired. When it comes to running the free world, there should be a point where you’re too old, and should gracefully step aside and make room for the next generation.

Term limits. This is an inherent problem with democracy. A lot of decisions are based on short term gain, popularity, and reelection.

There is also something to be said about people making decisions about the country that will not manifest for a decade or more that they will not live to see the fruits of.

I know this is a cynical take and there are good politicians out there, but the corruption runs deep.

Yeah and pelosi is just as senile as Biden/trump. Too bad she just got re elected

100% true . They don’t wanna to the work they just want to power to make decisions and be gate keepers
